What Materials To Use In A Black And White Living Room?
Such a color scheme may seem boring and to avoid that,, play with materials and textures. Rock stone and marble, various types of wood and veneer, metal, brick and tile speaking of the fireplace, wallpaper on the walls and lots of different types of textiles, from upholstery to curtains that are sure to make your living room cozier. Soft fabrics will give a more welcoming feel to the space that otherwise may seem pretty cold, so choose the upholstery, covers, pillows and rugs carefully creating an ambience in the space.

How To Style A Black And White Living Room?
Decide on the proportions of the color you gonna use and all the materials to apply – what’s missing and what can be redone in a better way to add a textural touch to the room? That’s important for such a laconic color scheme. Skip the idea of having white seating furniture if you have pets and small kids, otherwise you will be cleaning all the time. Rocking a total white fireplace surround is also not the most functional idea, I’d recommend black. Add glam with metallic finishes, refresh the space with potted greenery and blooms and incorporate some pattern with textiles if it’s appropriate. Get inspired to rock this classic color scheme in your living room!
