Black and white with coloured accents

My earlier post was on how versatile Black and White is as a colour combination. It is clean, classic and works perfectly well on its own. But for those who love colour, the purely black and white route may seem like the ultimate commitment and too stark. So here are ways you can experiment with a black and white palette and introduce dashes of your favourite colour or accents...

Experiment by blocks of colour in the furnishings..

Or play with colour and scale by introducing elements like the  gorgeous Giant Anglepoise lamp introduced this year...

Bring in a touch a glam with gold accents to the furniture..

Or coloured walls as a feature...

Elite, to be...

Recently, I came upon Elite, to be, an Italian company that 'transforms simple objects into design objects'.  There is such exquisite attention to form, material, texture and finish. Each product is beautiful in its simplicity and unique.
