Black + White Living Room

A black and white living room may sound a bit harsh, but done the right way, it can turn out beautifully. Below are some tips on how to achieve a black and white scheme while still maintaining a sense of coziness.

  • Opt for slightly off-whites
  • Incorporate gold or silver metals through table legs, lamps and other accessories
  • Mix patterns (throw pillows and blankets are an easy way to do this)
  • Warm up the room with an area rug
  • Add artwork and / or framed photos
  • Play with different shapes (ex. a round mirror, square frames, asymmetrical area rug)
Check out the round-up below of black and white living rooms done right!

Tiny Houses

Ever fantasize about ditching all of your clutter and downsizing to a more manageable home? Well, apparently a lot of people do because tiny houses are quickly becoming the next big thing. I personally love the idea of paring down to basics and only living with the things you really need. I guarantee that your needs can be met with far less then what you're currently living with. The best part about some of these tiny homes is that they can be easily moved to new locations... and they are unbelievably affordable!

Check out a few of the companies who have perfected teeny tiny homes in a variety of styles.

Cheetah Print

My favorite little seven-year-old recently told me that "cheetah always goes with cheetah". Although I'm not sure that I would mix multiple cheetah printed items in a single outfit, she definitely has one thing right; cheetah is in. It's one of the few animal prints that seems to always be in fashion. Incorporate it into your wardrobe through single items of clothing, accessories or jewelry. Take a look at a few of my favorite cheetah print picks below.
