I never tire of black and white interiors. Almost every room can use a little black. We just recently painted the walls in our Spanish colonial white and the windows an almost black. Although it took me a while to get used to it I feel completely liberated now. “Black and White is always right” in my opinion.

How do you feel about black and white? Do you prefer a more dramatic approach or a softer, kinder one?
Love it Cindy. It certainly adds a little drama and you DO need a liitle drama in your life. I am loving the Casa Vogue glamour girl! x
You're preaching to the choir on this one – love, love black and white!
I cannot wait to see the big reveal. I would definitely consider using black on my window trim except that it is vinyl from the replacement windows I had installed in my 85 year old house. I like the Darryl Carter pics the best. There is nothing plain about his style.
I love black and white when it's tempered with wood tones. The to Darryl Carter image is my favorite of the group …but Darryl can do no wrong.
Your new chair looks perfect in your room. I think you made the right choice leaving the original fabric on the cushions. The room is beautiful from every angle!

There are some stunning examples here showing how to use black and white to great effect. For me though, I prefer it with a wall color that has some warmth to it, like the one illustrated in the last photo — more of a putty. Of course, you can't go wrong with an iconic photo of Holly Golightly on the wall.
I've always used black and white and one other color in my living room…I love it. In spite of all the blue trends…which I use elsewhere in the house, black and white always feels right. Great photos!!!
