Look inside nearly any interior design publication and you will see the colour black in virtually every room. What you will also see is a prominent use of the combination of black and white. They are powerful colours on their own, but they can make a bold statement together.

Black and white are great colours for a mix of light and dark. The contrast can have an especially big impact in modern spaces, as well as those in which you may desire a bit more formality, such as living rooms and dining rooms.
