The Elegance of Black & White Stripes - Interior Decorating

1

Black and white are opposites on the colour spectrum, psychologically, black is said to create protective barriers as it absorbs all the other colours of the spectrum. Personally I would not recommend using black in large blocks of colour. Small items carefully placed or a combination of black and white can be used to create a contemporary or traditional look. Black alone can be oppressive and certainly will make a room appear smaller, however combine it with white and you can achieve a stunning interior. Take it one step further and combine black and white as a striped combination, and you can create sophistication, make a bold statement or pare it down to a simple country feel.
