Hotel at Home

Inspired by a chic boutique hotel, Nest Design Studios principal designer Natalie Chong chose a black matte paint to frame the bed and side table in this gorgeous bedroom. A floating wall shelf with a curated selection of framed art above the bed acts as a vertical visual extension of the black-on-black headboard.

Simply Understated

Striking black furniture and black-framed artwork stand out against the all-white walls of this simple, cozy bedroom. The rose-gold shades found in the newly refinished wood floor and antique Persian rug warm up the monochromatic palette.

Black Out

Putting black against black in a bedroom is a bold design move, but the results are surprisingly soothing. The cave-like atmosphere created by the light-absorbing matte paint has the potential to support even deeper slumbers (take note, insomniacs!).

Oppositional Design

Black and white, masculine and feminine, dark and light: finding the balance between these two opposing elements is a (design) tale as old as time. In this breezy bedroom, designer Erica James uses hard, black, industrial wall sconces to foil the ultra-feminine painting by artist Amanda McMorran.

Black and White Thinking

When exploring the possibilities of black-and-white bedroom design, remember, our thinking doesn’t have to be black and white. “White” could be cream-coloured bedding or white oak wall panelling, and the “black” could be the patchwork of dark shadows found in a piece of large wall art.

Star Light

The night sky is a constant source of inspiration, so bringing that sense of wonder into a child’s black-and-white bedroom was a stroke of genius. Designer Ayanna Augustine and her husband Sebastian Clovis kept the rest of the space clean and simple, to let those stars shine.

Deer Proof

The bold, oversized fawn-print rug is the centrepiece of this luxurious bedroom, but it’s the black and white elements that keep it from dominating the space. The addition of the black, above-bed alcove breaks up the lighter wall treatments and provides a home for precious personal objects.

Cottage Core Galore

When designer Debra Salmoni and Scott McGillivray designed this black and white bedroom, little did they know it would be the meeting of two internet trends. The thick, black faux-fur throw is peak #mobwife, while the black-and-white buffalo check duvet set is ultimate #cottagecore.

Chalet Slay

Warm, golden wood acts as the third tone of the colour palette in this chic, chalet-style black and white bedroom. Layers of soft throw pillows, the thick tufted rug, and the heaviness of the wooden elements all add to the luxurious feel of the space.

Into Perspective

When it comes to designing small spaces, don’t be shy about going bold with black. A matte-black back wall actually creates the sense of extra square footage by giving the eye something solid to land on at the end of the room.

At Ease

Adding an accent wall in a muted, nature-inspired shade — such as this dusty sage — can add some desired softness to a black and white bedroom. Warm, brown and gold accents also help to relax the potential rigidness of monochromatic decorating.

That Loft Life

Minimal, airy, and bordering on austere, this cool black and white bedroom is the epitome of casual loft living. The trick with this look is that less is always more, so focus on finding truly special, functional pieces rather than filling up the space.
