Welcome

Color makes such a difference: the print of this foyer's floral wallpaper is traditional enough, but in black and white it looks so fresh and exciting. The black front door extends the color scheme to the exterior.

From: Clara Jung

Add Some Texture

“The contrast of black pieces against a white wall feels modern, clean and fresh,” says Stephanie Kraus, a Wayne, Pennsylvania designer. To pull off the warm, welcoming look, she outfitted this home's entryway with a lacquered raffia console, rope-wrapped bench and muted kilim rug.

Farmhouse Style

That chalkboard sign couldn't be more right. From the moment they walk through the front door, the owners of this home in Lehi, Utah will feel at ease thanks to bright white walls, rich black accents and their favorite art pieces.

Small + Chic

What this foyer lacks in space, it more than makes up for in style. A built-in bench features storage below, while a wall-mounted desk shelf doubles as a landing spot for houseplants, accessories and art. Modern black light fixtures and hardware pop against white walls, making the space look and feel bigger.

A Floor That Pops

This fabulous floor made us do a double-take. What looks like large, graphic tile is actually painted wood. To make the pattern last in this high-traffic zone, the designers used high-gloss airport runway paint (cool, right?).

From: M. Barnes & Co.

Shiplap Chic

Off-white shiplap walls add rustic texture to this stylish hallway. Continuing the farmhouse look, a distressed natural wood bench is made oh-so-cozy with patterned throw pillows while black-and-white framed prints round out the simple, chic design.

Bold Family Room

This large-scale kitchen isn't shy about bold colors and patterns — and with gorgeous results! Black cabinets and pendants are a sharp foil to the graphic accent wall while animal print barstools create a perfect hangout spot for the whole family.

Black, White & Red All Over

With white cabinets, black soapstone countertops and a space-saving layout, this quirky kitchen is a dream. The owners added a new subway tile backsplash highlighted by gray grout. They also found a 1930s match-light Magic Chef enamel stove at an antique shop for $180 and had it restored to like-new condition.

Room for a Crowd

The owners of this Southern California home installed new cabinets with brass pulls from New York Hardware and hung 2-inch-thick wood shelves. Worried that standard subway tiles would look busy in the large space, they chose elongated ones from Famosa that measure 5" by 16". But the star of the room is the 10' by 9' island topped with Statuario marble and paired with director’s chair stools from Serena & Lily.

Let There Be Light

The cabinets that once hung on the exterior wall of this midmod-inspired galley kitchen were removed to make room for a massive storefront-style window that looks out into the stylish carport, infusing the space with natural light. A black hexagon mosaic tile backsplash matches the black wood window trim and provides a gorgeous contrast to bright white lower cabinets.

Off-white cabinets and ivory-gray floors are combined with dark charcoal walls, countertops and decorative accents to create a chic and inviting cooking and eating space at HGTV Smart Home 2020.

Soften a black-and-white space with natural elements, like a rustic wooden table, natural wood flooring, and brown leather dining chairs and kitchen stools, as in this space designed by Gretchen Black of Greyhouse Design Firm. A smattering of verdant greenery adds to the natural, organic appeal of the space. Complete the look with classic subway tiles laid out in a herringbone pattern and appliances with custom hardware that can be switched out with the season.

Sleek & Chic

A single bank of black cabinets below the sink makes a striking visual statement against the otherwise all-white cabinetry in this kitchen, echoing the eye-catching black range hood and eat-in island. Throughout the room, antique gold accents add a touch of high-style glam.

From: Vernich Interiors

Try Small Doses

"Using black for interiors can be scary as it’s usually associated with being dark or depressing," designer Jodie Rosen says. Her advice? "Using hits of black as an accent is a great way to elevate a space and emphasize elements of the design. In this case, we used black on the trim around the range to make the area a focal point and then repeated the black in the oversized fixtures, stools and the metal detailing on the island."

Take Me to Church

Designer Linc Thelen transformed an old church into a stunning modern family home. The white-and-black palette showcases the architectural and historical details, including high ceilings, stained-glass windows and exposed beams. In the kitchen and dining area, dark accents unify the soaring open-plan space while pendant lights literally and visually help draw a connecting line from top to bottom.

Indoor-Outdoor

When renovating his mid-century home, designer Brian Patrick Flynn's main objective was to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living space. Tall, black-trimmed windows flank one end of the galley kitchen, providing chic contrast to the white, paneled walls. On pretty days, the kitchen door is kept open and leads out to a massive entertaining deck designed for parties with friends and family.

Cabin Style

White walls, antique art and warm hardwood flooring create a calm and inviting atmosphere in this dining room. Black lacquered dining chairs border a natural wood table while a pair of plaid armchairs add weight and pattern to the lodge-inspired room.

Statement Art

The amazing, oversized art in this designer dining room is actually a cover-up for an annoying off-center window. The homeowner had a handyman build a wood canvas double the window’s size, which she then painted to match the room's black-and-white bench, pillows, flooring and furniture.

"Pairing black-and-white with wood tones and a multicolor rug makes the dining space in this mid-century house feel homey,” says Shea McGee, a designer in Salt Lake City, Utah. The black chairs tie together the light fixture (from the designer’s store, McGee & Co.) and the art above the cabinet.

Play With Color & Texture

The key to pulling off a designer-worthy look? Keep colors simple while playing with a myriad of textures and finishes. A matte black ceiling is reflected in a black lacquered dining table while a blue crushed velvet, bearskin-inspired rug provides a soft place to land. Glam gold finishes are used throughout the space — a chic contrast to the cozy, wicker-look dining chairs.

Master Bedroom

A weathered-wood canopy bed from Restoration Hardware is paired with an equally awe-inspiring beaded chandelier from Regina Andrew in this sleep-inducing, black-and-white bedroom. Rounding out the cozy vibes are a pair of light wood nightstands and a bright green loveseat from World Market. The wall color is Inkwell by Sherwin-Williams.

From: HGTV Magazine

Lofty Dreams

The painters had to use scaffolding to reach the window trim and paint the paneling on this 20-plus-foot ceiling. A dreamy, 5-foot-tall bronze chandelier by Townsend Design helps fill the space. “This room didn’t feel very cozy at first because of the tall ceiling,” says the homeowner. So she layered rugs (the red wool one is from a trip to Paris), mixed a vintage woven bench with modern nightstands by Noir, added green lamps from Circa Lighting and topped the white bedding with a soft pink coverlet from Cisco Home.

This master bedroom lacked storage and was challenged by its curved shape. Studio Revolution built out a walk-in closet on one side of the room.

This nursery is a perfect example of how a room can rock a theme and stay sophisticated, timeless and relevant through the use of bold color, dramatic pattern and mature furnishings.

To ensure a comfy arrival for her clients' new addition, designer Kerra Michele Huerta layered this nursery with a plush sheepskin rug and soft accessories.
