Black and white bedroom décor is a classic color combination that many decorators have been leaning into lately, and it’s no wonder why. This color scheme is so versatile and timeless, and you can achieve pretty much any style you can think of with such simple yet bold colors. It is also a great way to ensure you are not overpowering a space with clashing colors.
Mixing and matching various textures and materials in black and white can also be very successful in the design process. You can see in some of our design examples below how these decorators have used this approach to create cozy bedrooms for both children and adults. Some use black as the dominant shade too, which can be tricky and might make the space seem heavier than was maybe intended, but when it’s done correctly this accent creates a really warm, sophisticated mood within a room.
