Designing interiors is anything but black and white, especially with all the choices available today. But a palette that’s a trend du jour — one that’s a global sensation from fashion runways to tabletops to walls and floors to bedding and furniture — is the all-color, no-color marriage of black and white.
Teamed as solids or tone-on-tone stenciled designs, the opposites also attract in patterns, from soft toiles to bold florals and vines, pinstripes, polka dots, zebra markings, chevrons and geometrics. The popular duo is showing up on everything from houndstooth shoes and stationery borders to damask couture jackets to pet clothing.
