The Black and White Decor Trend That Goes with Everything

Black, white and earthy. No other phrase better describes one of this season’s top decor trends! Spring/Summer 2017 is all about the breezy combination of black and white. For a pairing that makes such a strong contrast, the serenity lies in the perfect balance of opposite tones, especially when woven textures are involved. The best part: it’s easy to add a dash of this look to your home, and it goes with just about everything. Whether you incorporate a new throw pillow or a crisp hand towel, you can celebrate the black and white trend in all of its glory! [photo below from CB2]
