Guest Picks: Monochrome Me
This big sectional has a unique curved shape that I like. Pairing plain pillows with the black leather adds the perfect detail and small splash of white.
Just because it's black and white doesn't mean it has to be boring. I love the different shapes and patterns on this bedding set.
Chevron is so much fun! I like that this smaller rug can be used almost anywhere without overdoing the pattern in the room.
I love that you can lay this huge carpet in a room and make a big statement, but, at the same time, it's not too busy.
I love the shape of this chair and ottoman. The textured white floral design really pops out against the black.
This is a perfect example of how you can use a monochrome theme in any style. I'm loving the sophisticated vintage look.
This black and white TV stand looks really sleek and modern. I like that there is more white than black.
This table is a good example of how you can incorporate the black and white look in a more French country style.
These are very interesting lamps. I like the textures and lines of the design.
These fun designs are a neat way to spruce up the kitchen.
I'm liking the triangle design of this shower curtain. It's a nice way to add an interesting element to a basic color palette.
A black and white photo like this one is a nice way to add an interesting touch to a monochromatic room.
I love that these come as a set. You can hang the prints in a variety of different ways to make it more interesting, or spread them out because each piece is lovely by itself. Black and white doesn't have to be "blah."
These geometric black and white pillows are fun and funky. They would add a nice touch to a simple couch.
I like mixing the plain with the patterned. It's very classic and classy.
Take the monochromatic theme into your bathroom with this tile. I like the gray mixed in — you can break the rules every now and then in decor.
I like the 3-D look of these sweet little wall decor pieces. I'd put them in a bathroom for just enough pop without going over the top. They're the perfect way to add interesting elements to your decor without adding color.
These black and white curtains are clean, simple and to the point.
Lastly, another way to break the rules is by adding one pop of color. Make sure it's a good one too — like this gorgeous teal blue flower.Next: 5 Smashing Black and White Homes
The white face of this couch is an interesting element. I also like the different textures in the throw pillows.
