In this world that surrounds us, the combination of black and white colors can be seen everywhere. In design solutions, such combinations are also used, but much less frequently. You can study this design style using black and white curtains as an example.
To implement a design project with such a range of colors, you need to think through everything carefully, and only after that start implementing an interior project in black and white.
At first it will seem that combining black and white curtains is a rather uninteresting and boring idea. It seems that this color scheme is not suitable for the interior of your home, especially since black and white are more formal colors.
But with the right approach to this issue, it may turn out that these colors symbolize solemnity, and their combination is a sign of prosperity and wealth.
Then, in this case, it is necessary to consider how to properly, with special aesthetics, hang black and white curtains in the hall, bedroom, living room and kitchen of your home.
Harmony of color combinations in the living room
When selecting curtains of such absolutely contrasting colors, it is necessary to avoid uniform color proportions.
One of these colors must dominate the color scheme, and it does not have to be white. Black curtains with white colors sometimes find a place in design solutions for decorating a living room.
But in this case, white tulle will definitely be combined with them. The reverse color combination, white curtains and black tulle, will look the same.
In such a living room, a cornice and some pieces of furniture in black colors would be appropriate.
You can also think of another option - two curtains with a black and white stripe of transparent fabric along the edge, in combination with gray walls and black upholstered furniture, will fill the interior of this room with a unique flavor.
Impeccable bedroom style
This is exactly what the black and white curtain design in the bedroom will look like. By mixing these colors and playing with them you get the most magnificent color scheme.
In this case, thoughts about the disgusting colors of your bedroom will never come to you.
It is interesting to note that the choice in favor of these contrasting colors, such as white and black, is usually made by strong-willed and strong individuals.
Implementation of black and white styles:
- If you are decorating your bedroom in a “safari” style, it is best to choose curtains with an animalistic (animal) coloring, and also do not forget to lay out a rug made to resemble a zebra.
- An abstract design will harmonize perfectly with the art deco style.
- Curtains with black and white stripes or checkerboard colors look great in a minimalist design.
- Single-color curtains will present a neo-baroque style with a contrasting design at the edges.
Various objects will help to dilute the too strict colors of the interior of your bedroom. For example, red pillows or a light yellow lampshade will harmonize beautifully.
Kitchen design
A unique black and white color scheme in your kitchen is perfect minimalism if the interior graphics are well followed.
For example, black tables and chairs have white legs, in this case they harmonize perfectly with long lengths or in a chess style.
A kitchen with exactly the same furniture, but with a different distribution of colors on the curtains and backs of chairs, looks less strict and with a greater presence of romance.
A kitchen made in a minimalist design will perfectly combine snow-white curtains made in the Roman style with a black stripe along the edges.
However, this type of window design can be chosen for absolutely all kitchens. Roller blinds of a milky color with small splashes of black throughout the entire area of the curtain should also be considered a good idea.
The uniqueness of this color composition allows it to be used in the manufacture of curtains of any type, style and size.
By changing the color scheme, types of decoration and patterns, you can achieve excellent results.
Photo of black and white curtains in the interior
In the world around us, we see black and white combinations everywhere. Such solutions are also implemented in the interior, although it cannot be said that often. To implement a design in monochrome, you need to plan everything thoroughly, since you can easily make a mistake here. We offer you several ideas with photos of using black and white curtains in the interior.
Boring? Stylish and bold!
The photo shows an elegant solution for the living room: laconic white curtains with black trim around the edges.
At first glance, the combination of black and white seems uninteresting, boring, and official. Do you also think that this color scheme is not suitable for home interiors? And in vain. With the skillful work of a designer, a black and white room can even look solemn. The combination of these two colors is believed to symbolize impeccable style and wealth.
These two colors are so self-sufficient that they do not need a “support group” of other colors. Only black and only white – exquisite brevity.
Harmony of opposites - ideas for the living room
A floral pattern like the one in the photo is great for a living room or bedroom.
When choosing curtains from these colors, the main thing is not to allow equal proportions. One of them must prevail. And it doesn't have to be white. Completely black curtains in some situations can find their place in the living room interior. But you will still be asked to come to them. In such a living room, you can make the cornice, furniture parts black, and include this color in the pattern on the self-leveling floor.
Another option for black curtains for the living room is two curtains, trimmed along the inner edge with a strip of transparent fabric with a black and white pattern. Light gray walls and a black leather sofa will complement this “brutal” interior.
Can black and white curtains become a decoration? Quite. But in this case, the leading role in such a color tandem should be given to white. If you decorate the curtains with swags, throws, use tiebacks and additional curtains in a contrasting color, then your black and white curtain will turn out very beautiful and elegant.
Curtains of this color combination can be chosen for wallpaper in shades other than white, beige or gray. In this case, wall colors such as:
- light lilac;
- pale blue;
- olive;
- blue.
Beige, white, gray plain walls are in perfect harmony with the black and white pattern of the curtains.
Bedroom – clear lines, impeccable style
The photo shows another fashionable and stylish solution - a striped print. This design not only looks impressive, but also visually increases the height of the ceilings.
This is exactly the impression that black and white will create. Playing with these colors can also create a great effect in the bedroom. And then the thought of the ordinariness of the black and white bedchamber will not even arise.
It is noteworthy that these colors are usually chosen by people who do not like blurry images and banal solutions. A bedroom in black and white really impresses with its clean lines, rigor of style and lack of unnecessary details.
Ideas for “black and white” implementation of various styles:
- 1 If you are making a room in a safari style, then you can choose curtains with an animal print for the windows, and put a soft zebra rug on the floor.
- 2 For the art deco direction, an abstract drawing is suitable.
- 3 Curtains with black and white stripes or with a checkerboard print will look good in a minimalist interior.
- 4 Plain curtains with contrasting edge trim will support the neo-Baroque style.
If you find two-chrome interiors too stark, add an accent color to balance out your stylish bedroom design. For example, arrange white planters with blue artificial flowers. Buy a couple of red pillows, install a floor lamp with a black lampshade on a bright yellow leg.
Another way to add variety to the black and white bedroom interior is to place decorative leafy or flowering indoor plants in it. Such natural accents will not only decorate the room, but also improve the health of the air in it.
Choice for the kitchen
An achromatic black and white palette in the kitchen is absolute minimalism, if the graphic design of the interior is strictly observed. For example, a completely black table and chairs (with white legs), two-color facades with a color ratio of 1:3, white tabletops. Long pure black thin transparent curtains or a roller blind in the style of a chessboard “beg” for such an environment.
A kitchen with the same furniture, but with a different distribution of colors on the curtains and backs of chairs, will look a little less strict and much more romantic. Floral motifs, even if executed in the same color scheme, will bring lightness to the interior. Snow-white Roman blinds trimmed with black ribbon are also suitable for a minimalist-style kitchen. In principle, this window design option can be chosen for any kitchen. Roller blinds of a milky shade with small splashes of black over the entire surface of the canvas can also be called universal. Simple and fresh!
Another interesting idea: black and white kitchen curtains against a colored wall. For example, it can be decorated in one of the shades of blue, silver gray or olive.
If this room is designed exclusively in white, then it could use a little black on transparent Austrian curtains.
To make achromatic ones look harmonious, follow the advice of designers:
- 1 For a spacious, bright room with large windows, choose curtains with a predominance of black.
- 2 It is better to decorate a small window in a small kitchen with white, using the opposite color only as an accent color.
- 3 Vases with bright fruits, colorful decorative cups on the windows will make the interior less strict.
- 4 Accessories made of chromed metal and crystals will add a little solemnity to such a color ensemble.
The versatility of this range allows it to be used when sewing curtains of any type, style, size. By changing the silhouette of the curtains, the color ratio and the type of pattern, you can achieve very different visual effects.
Having said that the combination of white and black colors is a classic, we will not surprise anyone. But when the black and white palette concerns the interior design of a bedroom, kitchen, living room, opinions differ radically.
Black and white curtains
For some, black is a symbol of mourning and melancholy, and it is completely unacceptable to be present in the house. For some people, on the contrary, the combination of black and white is a sign of expression or even aggressiveness.
But, nevertheless, the design solution in which the bedroom involves black and white curtains, quite bold, but it found its fans and admirers.
Each person has his own idea of what his bedroom should be like. A person spends one third of his life sleeping, so it is very important that you feel comfortable here. The interior of a bedroom, as a rule, reflects the character of a person, his inner world. Only here, after a working day, is he left alone with himself, his thoughts and aspirations.
Some may find the black and white interior too strict and ascetic, but it can easily be made warmer and more comfortable by diluting the color scheme with flooring in natural wood tones.
In order for stylish black and white curtains to create an atmosphere of peace and comfort, you need to equip the bedroom with furniture in bright colors, and then the curtains will play the role of a kind of “fire extinguisher”. They will harmoniously combine with bright furniture.
In addition to black and white textile curtains, the current trend on the curtain market is “Zebra” roller blinds; they are also known to customers under the name “Day and Night” blinds. In appearance, Zebra curtains are similar to ordinary horizontal blinds, but their operating principle is completely different. They are made from strips of fabric of the same size, black and white, which alternate with each other. Some strips are transparent, while others are not, but together they form a solid fabric.
Black and white zebra curtains can regulate the intensity of the light flux due to the two-layer material. When the curtain is lowered or raised, the strips of fabric are aligned to a greater or lesser extent, the resulting gaps between the layers of fabric create a luminous flux that can be stronger or weaker. If there is a coincidence of the transparent stripes located below with the upper transparent stripes, then the penetration of light becomes maximum. You can regulate the level of light entering the room by independently changing the position of the stripes on the curtains.
Black and white Zebra curtains are attached quite simply, the installation process does not take much time. Roller blinds create a visually seamless composition with the window opening.
In addition, today they are widely used in Western countries and in our country. thread (rope) curtains, they are also known as “muslin”. Thread curtains in black and white combination are in particular demand. In the interior of a large house or apartment, they can not only play the role of curtains, which serve well as a sun barrier, despite their apparent transparency, but they can also serve as a division of space. Using a thread curtain, you can make a wonderful screen that will organically fit into the interior and make it unusual, adding a touch of extravagance and lightness.
Black and white curtains, made of water-repellent material - an excellent solution for the bathroom. If the bathroom is not large, a special curtain will come in handy. Thanks to it, water will not splash throughout the bathroom, in addition, the curtain retains heat without allowing steam to pass through. This may be necessary if the apartment, including the bathroom, is not very hot in winter. You can easily choose bathroom curtains in black and white with various graphic and floral prints.
Black and white curtains in the interior
Kitchen in black and white colors: choosing curtains, wallpaper. Kitchen furniture: apron, countertop. Useful tips.
Most people want to make their kitchen unusual and interesting, but at the same time they are at a loss as to what colors to use to decorate the kitchen interior. It should be noted that a kitchen in black and white looks very stylish.
There is an opinion that black and white kitchens look boring and dull. Let's try to dispel this misconception. After all, if you approach the kitchen interior design correctly,
The black and white colors look very modern. The contrast of two colors can correctly emphasize the style of the kitchen set and the room as a whole.
What wallpaper to choose for the interior of a black and white kitchen.
For this interior, it is more advisable to choose light, dense wallpaper, which allows you to apply a stencil design or an interesting picturesque pattern in a contrasting black color. Naturally, there are white wallpapers on sale with a ready-made design or pattern in black, but capturing your creativity can be much more pleasant. If you decide to apply patterns to the wallpaper yourself, then know that too large a pattern can distract from the overall concept of kitchen design.
Of course, you don’t have to give up large patterns on the wallpaper, but you should use them very carefully. For such fragments, you should select separate zones in the kitchen interior, for example, this could be the dining area. The issue of cleanliness of black and white wallpaper in the kitchen remains relevant, because light colors can easily get dirty. Therefore, you should give preference to washable wallpaper, preferably not cheap, so that it lasts longer.
In addition, you can use black wallpaper, where the pattern will be white. This option for wall decoration should not be done everywhere, but in separate areas of the room, so that the dark color does not look depressing.
How to make a floor in a black and white kitchen.
In a black and white kitchen, you need to approach the design of the floor very wisely, because... These colors greatly influence the visual perception of the room: they visually narrow or expand it. The classic option is to lay the floor with tiles and a checkerboard pattern. Of course, the tiles must be large in size. This flooring is a compromise option; it does not visually increase or decrease the space.
If the floor is made with an emphasis on any one color, then this will need to be taken into account when choosing furniture for the kitchen so that the colors do not merge. Thus, the color of the kitchen furniture should contrast with the dominant color of the floor. For those who like to bring their creativity into the kitchen interior, they can lay out the floor with a dark laminate, and apply a geometric pattern on top of it and varnish it so that the pattern will last for many years.
We select curtains for a black and white kitchen.
Let's try to figure out which curtains to choose for a black and white kitchen. They are required not only for protection from excessive sunlight, but are also an integral part of the kitchen interior. For such a design, the color of the curtains should be in good harmony with the dark and light tones of the room. Of course, curtains do not have to be black or white; with skillful selection, you can give preference to gray tones.
Like any other element of the kitchen interior, curtains should not stand out from the overall design concept. And, given that black and white color is a sign of severity, various flowers on the curtains may look out of place. The length of curtains can be different: from short to long. It is generally accepted that the higher the kitchen ceiling, the shorter the curtains should be. To visually enlarge the kitchen, the curtain can be hung on a curtain under the ceiling along the entire length of the wall with the window.
The optimal solution would be to choose white or pastel curtains, which will be decorated with some simple geometric pattern. An interesting option is black horizontal stripes of varying thicknesses. Well, to prevent the sun's rays from passing through the curtains, you should give preference to denser fabric materials.
What color should the countertop and backsplash be in a black and white kitchen?
A black and white kitchen will look very stylish if the countertop and splashback are black. This option will especially highlight the kitchen design if the dominant color of the kitchen set is white. But even with black cabinets, this color of the countertop and apron will add a special chic to the kitchen. It is worth noting that the rest of the furniture: chairs and table, can also be made in black and white.
Kitchen furniture for black and white kitchen.
The final touch in the design of the kitchen interior is the kitchen furniture. In this case, this point must be taken into account. If the black and white kitchen is small, then the furniture should be chosen in white. Well, if the kitchen is large, then the preferred color for kitchen furniture does not matter.
An interesting and practical version of a black and white kitchen, when the lower part of the set has dark shades and the upper part is light. If the set itself is predominantly white, then a black countertop will look very stylish. For such a kitchen, chairs can be either single-color or two-color - black and white.
The next kitchen furniture that can be here is a sofa or corner. Here, too, we must proceed from considerations of the general design concept of all kitchen furniture. If the kitchen is small, then it makes sense to give preference to a white sofa, while the covers and pillows can be black. A black sofa will not look bad if the cape on it is white.
Tips from designers.
Sometimes it is worth listening to the advice of professionals. Here is a short excerpt of designer tips that will help when decorating the interior of a black and white kitchen.
The main thing in a black and white kitchen is to maintain a balance between colors. If the main color of the walls and floor is the same, then the dominant color in the kitchen furniture should be different.
It is better to choose thick wallpaper, then you can put some kind of design on it if your soul requires creativity.
When choosing curtains, you need to take into account not only the color, but also the height of the ceiling. The higher the ceiling, the shorter the curtain should be. And vice versa, the lower the ceiling, the longer the curtain should be. In this case, it is desirable that the material of curtains and curtains be thick to protect from excess sunlight.
You can complement the interior of a black and white kitchen with various additional accessories. This way, various vases or a tea set in white and black will look good in the design.
Don't forget to change all the dishes, because... if the furniture in the kitchen is black or white, then pink plates on such a table will not look very aesthetically pleasing.
You can place decorative pillows in a contrasting color on the sofa in the kitchen.
When decorating a floor with tiles, it is better to choose large tiles rather than small ones. It would be optimal to lay out the tiles in a black and white kitchen in a checkerboard pattern. In addition, you can make a pattern from white tiles, and make the background from black tiles.
You should be very strict when choosing household appliances in a black and white kitchen. It simply must fit harmoniously into the overall design of the kitchen. Considering that large household appliances are mostly white, problems are unlikely to arise here, but various kettles and multicookers of any blue or yellow color are best put away in a cabinet when not in use.
