Black & White

There is no color combination so foolproof as classic black and white. I really don't know whether it can be done wrong — and that's saying something! 

{Canadian House & Home}

Black doors are the perfect complement to a white palette with gold accents.

I wouldn't mind returning home to this apartment foyer with its painted brick and whitewashed floors.

Don't you love the edge that black trim lends to this otherwise monochromatic kitchen?

{Douglas Friedman}

A little gloss never hurts either! I love the overgrown bouquet and stacks of books in this simple but chic space.

Renters and commitment-phobes need not worry — just a dash of black paint transforms a clean-lined credenza into a graphic masterpiece.

Even a pair of throw pillows will do the trick! I love these, these, and these from new sponsor Fabricadabra.

How do you use black and white in your home? It might just be my new go-to!

Olga's flawless fabric choices cover all the latest design trends. I would love this suzani pinwheel print propped up against this sage green armchair, wouldn't you?

{via Houzz}

I love the design of this red and purple suzani — and you already know i love the color combo! How fun would it be on a red chippendale chair?

{$40}

{via The Decorista}

Ikat is everywhere right now and I don't see why it shouldn't be incorporated into this lovely little seating area as well. A white armchair trimmed with nailheads and topped with red ikat? To die for!

{$50 for the pair}

{Ashley Whittaker}

Still itching for your imperial trellis fix? This pair would be perfect for an end-of-summer soirée.
