1. Black, white and grey

The contrast of black and white has been a much loved colour combination both in fashion and interiors for many many years. Although the contrast of black and white is strong, it’s still a very easy scheme to live with. Because there is no real colour as such, a black and white scheme can be brightened with various coloured accessories that can easily be changed as you tire of them.

To create maximum impact with this colour scheme, look for the brightest, most crisp white and the purest black. Soften the harsh contrast of black and white by introducing some grey tones.

Black is a strong colour that creates big impact, so if you have a small space, use it sparingly. Consider a glossy finish for your black surfaces; this will help to bounce light around the room and make the black feel less heavy.
