Bedroom Goes Bold in Black and White

Black and white is a favorite color palette of many designers and design editors for one simple reason: It’s hard to mess up. This small guest room defies its shoebox shape and lack of architectural embellishment with a graphic palette of black and white. Black and white floor tiles laid on the diagonal get the room pulsating with visual rhythm. Patterned on the bed linens, a splashy modern design of stylized black leaves and vines on a white ground holds its own against the flooring. Even the art dips into the black and white scheme for guest quarters that are lively, much-anticipated destination.
