Wednesday Wallpaper - Black and White

There's something about the new year that makes everyone want a fresh start...that and a little glamour.
For whatever reason, black and white represents both for me.
Always chic, the juxtaposition of the two opposites breathes a sense of drama and renewal into a space.

In keeping with wallpaper day, here's a little mixed bag of sexy black and white.
{with some wallpaper favourites}


Florance Broadhurst- co020


Florance Broadhurst- Stampede


Flavor Paper- Fishnets



Tres Tintas- Alemendro

Timorous Beasties- McGegan Rose


Cole and Son- Malabar


Flavor Paper- Hibiscus

Florance Broadhurst- bo84


Flavor Paper- Sassy Toile

Florance Broadhurst- fl18


Sum- Femme Fatale



Cole and Son- Pompeian

Osborne and Little- Palmyra

Neisha Crosland- Maze



Designer's Guild- 488-33

Timorous Beasties- Black Gloss Demask



 

 And with that, I'll leave you with a few words fitting for the end of a year and the beginning of a new one....

I took a look at the DVF Spring Collection soon to arrive in stores--and came to the same conclusion. A couple of wrap dresses in bold combinations of white and black will help me start the new year right. xo

I don't think I can ever get enough black and white! The femme fatale picture is giving me an idea for some homemade art!!! I also love the pic with stripes on the door and how they continued onto the moulding around, so chic! Great post!

Love the black and white. Trying to decide on a wallpaper for the powder room. I like the black and gold of the last photo too.

Cara said...

Your images are amazing ... once again. The dining room with the copper light fixture is my favorite! Who knew black and white could look so warm ...

I love black and white decor. Most of my house is decorated like that, I do have pops of red {because I have always loved red} Even my wardrobe is mostly black and white. I love that comb because they serve as a neutral backdrop for hints of colour that can be changed.

I am thinking of painting my son's room walls an inky-almost black. We are switching rooms around and he wants dark blue, I think I am going to try it!

The black is always attractive. The paintings and designs in black color are marvelous. The zebra painting is looking awesome and is great idea for painting.
