Mood board inspiration - Ebony & Ivory

Theres something timeless & classic about black & white decor. Crisp white walls are everywhere right now, they are vintage classic or ultra modern. I was asked recently for some ideas for a black & white bedroom & I took my inspirations for my moodboard from Hollywood glamour for a chic, classic style. The bed I found at Layla Grayce as are the mirrored furniture. I chose a glass chandellier to compliment the furniture. Dont be afraid to mix patterns with floral with this colour pallette it adds to the drama, animal prints are another hot favourite right now. Black & white photos of loved ones or pictures of hollywood sirens are a must in creating this look. The great thing about a black & white theme is the ability to add in colour at a later date if you want to change the vibe of the room & you are not restricted to what colour you choose.

 What do you think of these monochrome bedrooms or do you prefer pops of bold colour?

    Aw, the comment you left me made me sad. Every girl a day to be a princess. I love your site!! Thank you so much for featuring me :) That made my day.

    I agree with you, white, black, & a splash of pink makes an ultra-chic room. Audrey is the perfect inspiration.

    The inspiration board could be framed it's so gorgeous! I love the bedroom in the last picture. I think what 'makes' the room is greenish lamp in the background.
