Ahhh, black&white done JUST RIGHT. That’s refreshing. Sometimes, black and white is wayyyy too contrasty. I thought I was going to have a seizure once! But this room, now this is soph-is-ti-cayyyy, okay?!

Why? Because. The only thing thats actually white is the wall, and the only furniture that’s black is a leather bench that has an airy quality. That negative space underneath the bench was absolutely neccessary for contributing to the sense of spaciousness in the design. Not to mention that the statement-piece-of-a-mirror is also contributing to the lightness and airy quality of the room.

Beautiful balance is acheived not only through the dressors placed on opposite sides of the wall, but because of the perfect choices of the neutral, warm toned rug and the elegant ceiling-to-floor, gray curtains.

There’s just so much to love about it!

I love how the wood grain is peeking through the dressors, and the use of iron/metal in some of the pieces–giving this posh room a masqueline quality. The rounded edges of the dressors, the round mirror, all a taste of femininity…..yet, the dark, strong metal frame of the bench, metal pulls on the dressors, and metal frame of the mirror add that masqueline vibe to the design.

The simple artwork, and the glass table decor, perrrrrfect choices for achieving an uncomplicated design.

So, if you and hubby can’t come to a compromise, this type of design is where it’s at!!

It’s dark, but it’s light. And done just right. #wowthatwasntcornyatallcough
