Inspiring Interiors

Black + white.

I know, I’m so predictable! I’m also super busy this week, but I have a big pile of black-and-white interiors that I’ve been waiting to post, and now’s as good a time as any.

Really, I could just sit here and post B+W interiors all day, every day.

    Lovely collection! I don’t naturally tend to black & white interiors, but almost each of these images makes me reconsider!

    I’m married to the idea of having a midcentury modern-themed house, but some days I daydream about running away and getting a modern, cozy, black and white loft. I have the same daydreams about farmhouses, too.

    I’m loving your office. Is that chalkboard paint on your wall? Or is it just a fabulous luxurious black?

    Do you know where that lamp in the last photo comes from? I can’t remember where I’ve seen it. I love the simple triangle shape…

    I hope B&W never goes out of style! And their half-sibling, grey!

    These are all so cool! I love the logs in the fireplace and the black Bertoia chair. I’d love to at some point make a B&W room in our place, although with all our stuff it may end up being just a bathroom! Thanks for the inspiration-yet again- Anna!

  • Reply Alice Wilson October 21, 2009 at 10:29 am

    Definitely digging the black and white thing! Trying to find a way to incorporate it into my bedroom redesign. I work with Readymade magazine and have be using some of their ideas to guide my interior design
    . Your contribution is proving worthwhile.

    That gauzy grey pendant lamp is awesome. Any clue on it’s origins?

    Nice pics. I just have to know, is that you modeling in the Nama Rocco pic? If so, you are one multifaceted person!

    The black painting above the fireplace is interesting. It adds a mysterious quality to the room.
