I love black and white in decorating (as well as fashion - most of my closet is black and white). I think it has a clear, crisp look and adds interest to any room. I am in the midst of a basement "mini-renovation" and am contemplating how much black and white (or grey) to include in the space. I am not redoing an adjacent space with is already painted and carpeted a taupe gold so that is a color I will have to work with but I am definitely planning to add charcoal cabinetry and painted doors - the choice of furniture and rugs will follow.
I have a pinterest board on this subject -
link to decorating in blacks and grays and spent some time looking at my "pins" today - I found some wonderful images and ideas.

Black and White - the most
simple combination there is but one that is probably the most powerful. As much
as I am a colour person, I can't go without some simple blacks and whites to
compliment the decor setting. Isn't it just a classic? And I find myself
completely in love with the white couch with the black accent

| These French style chairs are wonderful and complement the warm colors in the room - I think the woodwork is a dark brown as well (not black) which suggests further options for upholstery. source |

| I have a piece of black velvet that I could use - this photo makes it look very doable although I worry about how much dust and dirt it might show. source |

I will have to make some choices soon for my "new" terrace-level space (aka basement - we don't like that word basement here in the South). Future postings on this subject to come including some before and after looks.
