When room’s the canvas, why not paint it black and white? Unquestionably sophisticated and striking, these two contrasting accents creates a timeless assertion. Here’s how to go for these colours in interiors

“Start with white walls. Choose a warm or cool shade based on your palette and the lighting in the room. Sofas upholstered in a good quality ivory fabric look chic and soothing against neutral walls. To create the white and black mood add some accents like the Iqrup + Ritz Kohima or Tribal cushions and ceramic lamps or vases. Not all your furniture has to be a traditional brown polish and we often combine furniture pieces in our signature weathered black with pieces in more classical finishes like teak. Woven fabrics with small prints like hounds tooth can also complement the look.”
