Black + White

Black + White is a classic combination. I love black and white and feel when it is done right, it won't feel boring or dull.  For a current bathroom, I have chosen this simple scheme but decided to have fun with the geometry in the room.  The use of various shapes and patterns while staying with the subtle palette brings interest into the space.  The interjection of gold by way of metal frames and light fixtures add some warmth. I hope the client goes for it!

in·spi·ra·tion

Inspiration for a design scheme can come from many sources.  It can start with a photograph, sketch, a quote from a song, a heirloom, etc,. How one sees and interprets a source of inspiration is unique to them. The below collection of fabrics and colours started with the cover of the novel "When the doves disappeared" by Sofi Oksanen. 

The sepia tones, vintage browns are balanced by a deep plum/black. The abstract floral pattern with a refined tweed are offset by a modern geometric fabric.
