Monochromania in the Home

Monochrome or "black and white" trend has become such a popular trend in the home. As much as we say to ourselves that we want to stop wearing so much black and we need more colour the more black and white seems to be introduced into the home.

The monochrome theme has essentially become such a staple in either your home or wardrobe that I couldn't help myself but add in my personal thoughts as well.


Below Ive added both interior and fashion pictures that I think achieve the Monochrome look perfectly, on trend in a simple way with a cool twist:

I absolutely love the way black and white have been added into this space. With the addition of a third colour, in this case yellow to break up the starkness of the white walls combined with black picture frames and armchair a softness to the space has been created.

My tip: If you feel your space is looking very stark and cold add in the addition of a third colour, this can easily be done through soft furnishings but id recommend something like a print or even some bright greenery as a center piece on the coffee table. So inexpensive but still really current.

Generally we associate the black and white trend with stripes but in this space the trend has been taken to a different level. You can still say that this is striped because it is but I love that it has a tribal zig zag pattern. To me it compliments the space perfectly and is such a cool contrast with the fresh colours on top.

My Tip: If you aren't game enough to go all out with this look through carpet then it can easily be achieved through a rug.

 www.bespokerugs.co.au have so really cool affordable variations of the style to suit your liking.
www.rugsusa.com love this website for rugs, they offer free shipping in the US (lucky!) and are so affordable - as well as offering different colours.

Another tip would be cushion covers, easily done yourself on a lazy Sunday, this look can happen so simply without having to buy new chairs.

And lastly, ready made curtains or window treatments. Here in New Zealand you can easily find some at the local fabric shop - Just my idea.


Although I work in the fashion industry there are so many blogs around that have spoken about the black and white trend so I'm just going to insert some fashion pictures which I love and are my inspiration.

So inspiring, I think ill always love monochrome in the home, so chic and stylish .
