Few color combinations have the ability to simultaneously feel vintage and futuristic, but black with white seems to naturally embody multiple eras in one simple marriage of color. Think about it! Lay square black and white tiles in an alternating checkerboard pattern and you’ve got the epitome of a 1950s diner. Paint an entire room black and fill it with stark white furniture for a look that’s fit for the next millennium. And, of course, there are all of the beautiful combinations in between! How would you style your own black and white palette? Would you mix things up with woven natural textures, or keep things light and bright with white walls and a few strategic pops of black? We want to know!

    Amazing finds! Black & white never goes out of style, I’m anxiously awaiting some new black end tables that I just ordered.

    I love black-and-white as a design statement. It creates such a clean and retro look. I have a black sofa, black armchair and black storage footstools, white bookshelves and walls. Colors pop beautfully against the graphic nature of balck-and-white.
