Black and white wall décor is a popular option for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms. It’s a trendy color scheme and because it consists of neutrals, it’s easy to match it with different textures, fabrics, prints, and other colors. It can be used to create a muted and soft aesthetic or accent it with bright and bold colors to create a look that is vibrant and cheerful.
Black and white images, signs, pillows, and throws are easy ways to bring these colors into your space. You can also make a statement with black and white walls created with printed wallpaper, shiplap, wainscoting, or paneling. These colors are classic and timeless so it’s easy to add them to any theme you choose.
