Ever wondered how to get the black and white look new again?

If you are tired and bored of black and white, then spice it up with some golden metals or metallic graphic art. If you are indecisive about what to do with your space, or you want something fuss-free yet not dull, this might just be the colour scheme for you.

What do you say? Do you want to add some sassy sparkle to your space?

Something as classic and simple as black and white doesn’t have to be boring at all. This look can be stunningly beautiful, especially when jazzed up with a little glitz and gold. With clever interior decorating black, white and gold can work in many places. You just have to think it through and keep in mind what you want to achieve. You can create a more dramatic look with lots of blacks and heavier gold, or you can create a fresher look using more white and lighter weighted golds.

With a black and white look, you can swap things around often when you get bored. You can keep it interesting and emphasize different aspects of your space. You can make it warmer and cosier in winter with deeper, heavier golds and perhaps more black. Likewise, you can freshen up a room in spring and summer by adding more white and lighter versions of gold, and hide away some blacks.

This palette will even help you save, because can buy something small or less expensive once in a while and know it will just fit in smoothly with your scheme. You only have to stick to your broad palette framework of black, white and gold. A lot of patterns and textures can be mixed in this scheme, and it won’t necessarily look busy or confusing.

In a workspace like a home office white, black and gold can be your perfect interior design choice. I do recommend using more white and less black here, for the study or home office is usually in a place away from direct sunlight and therefore more shaded, and you would want to exploit as much natural light as possible. Also, more daylight and less artificial light are just easier on the eyes, and we stare so much at screens these days!
