Monochrome Magic

There’s nothing like a timeless classic and it doesn’t get much more timeless than black and white. While technically Monochrome applies to all colours, the classic black and white combo is a trend of its own. The bold look has been a recurring trend in both fashion and interiors since its peak popularity in the Sixties, and 2014 is seeing a new revival in a big way - from the run way and major fashion magazines to interiors. You just can’t beat a crisp black and white combo.

While it may take designers hours to come up with specific colour combinations sometimes it’s the most simple of pairings that packs the most punch. With the use of the right patterns and materials, there’s a lot to play with outside the regular suspects too. Think bold prints, leather, unique details in these two shades, and try incorporating a statement piece like a patterned rug or bold bedhead for a more dramatic effect.

Although trends come and go the Monochrome look rarely goes out of fashion.
