How to Decorate with Green, White and Black?

by Stefan, posted in How To, Tips, and Advice, on December 13th, 2010

Black and White are classic colours and never fail to look great together. Whether it is clothes, utensils or the colour theme for your home decor, these colours have a classical appeal that adds instant sophistication, depth and character to any home. There are many ways in which you can combine these colours for the dramatic look it creates and throw in some other colours for accentuation and freshness. Green is an ideal colour, which when paired with black and white, creates a wonderfully fresh, modern and energetic environment instantly.

To start with, focus on a mostly black and white theme and keep green to a minimum to create a desired effect. If the room is large, like a living room, you can opt for black granite flooring with beautiful white borders to create an instantly glamorous look. If that is too much black for you, opt for black and white patterned flooring with more white. This makes the room look larger and adds black as the element of interest.

How to Decorate With Black, White & Yellow?

by Stefan, posted in How To, Tips, and Advice, on December 13th, 2010

Black and Yellow look wonderful together. Not only does yellow infuse any home decor scheme with warmth, the black keeps it from looking too sunny and the mixture of the two colours can be eclectic and comforting. Add a hint of white for some freshness and to make the colours mingle together to soothe the senses.

A home decorated with Black, White and Yellow can be quite warm, comfortable as well as cosy, making anyone who enters through your door feel welcomed. However, yellow and black together can be quite disastrous if any one of the colour overpowers the colour theme of your decor. Make sure you use your creativity and imagination to use these colours in an interesting blend to create bright, vibrant, happy spaces.
