Hi everyone.  I’m Carol from The Design Pages.  When Beatrice asked me to write a post about black furniture paired with white furniture I jumped at the chance.  I am a huge fan of this colour combo.  When I studied design we were told that all rooms needs some black and I couldn’t agree more but I also think that a black and white combo can be the basis for a really stunning space.

Black and white look fabulous together and allows for a neutral look that can adopt a fun accent colour.

This room plays with the white and black by using each colour on both sides of the room.  This technique helps the room look balanced.  The grey walls also make the black and white stand out.  That single yellow chair looks so incredibly bold in this room.

Although the black chair is traditional it feels more modern when done together with white furniture.

I love the strong colours used with this pairing.

These are some of the images that I love because they show how well black and white furniture work together.  They also highlight how easy the pairing is on its own or working together with colour.

Thanks Beatrice for letting me chime in on your blog today!!
