How to correctly use black and white gamma?
Curtains of this color palette perform the following functions: the white part creates a clean background that emphasizes the other elements, making them more voluminous, the black adds contrast and sharpness.
In order for curtains to perform the above functions, the following rules must be taken into account when designing the interior:
When purchasing black and white curtains for a bedroom or living room, you need to take into account the fact that all interior details and furniture against their background will become more expressive and contrasting. If there are bright elements (pillows, tablecloth, bedspread), dilute the curtains or curtains with a neutral gray shade. It will reduce the contrast level in the room.
Listen to your inner self, it will tell you how not to “clutter” the room and what is better to choose. If from the very beginning something does not attract you in the created image of the room, it is better to change everything in the initial stages. If you still can’t do anything, then a specialist will help you with the design of the room.
If you have a monochrome room, then you will find a complex selection of curtains or curtains in black and white. Usually, if the interior is nondescript, ordinary, boring, then only bright, colorful elements, furniture, and not just changing the curtains will save it.
Let's look at photos of black and white curtains in the interior of the kitchen, bedroom and living room.
Peculiarities
Black and white curtains initially give the impression of a bland, uninteresting and formal design. Typically, this statement is misleading. The main thing is to skillfully work with the artistic style:
- In a black and white interior, by changing the tone of the curtains, you can create any atmosphere: from a summer mood to a frosty haze.
- The duet of black and white perfectly connects all the furnishings into a single artistic style. Curtains only add volume.
- A small room becomes more sophisticated when using monochrome textiles in light shades.
- The iridescent surface of curtains in a single-color interior gives the space an intimate feel, while the matte surface adds airiness.
You can also decorate the room in this way - the furniture is in one color scheme, the decor is in a diametrical color scheme, and the curtains, in this case, will serve as a smooth transition. Just maintain balance, otherwise the room will turn out gloomy and uninteresting.
Give preference to one color.
If the room is small, then white becomes the leader. It will visually expand the area
. But to prevent the room from looking like a hospital, focus on curtains with black splashes. To increase the height of the room, decorate it with curtains with vertical lines.
Black and white color scheme in the living room
When choosing curtains for the living room, you need to imagine the final picture you want. Do you want a bright, contrasting, dynamic living room? Then decorate the windows with curtains or curtains with chrome elements: eyelets, special clips, metal tiebacks.
Shades such as white and black will be appropriate in the classic design of a home - hi-tech, minimalism, empire style.
Japanese panels and blinds with a variety of patterns are perfect for an interior in the Art Nouveau style. If you want to emphasize the pomp and luxury of the room, then use thick silk curtains from a large number of layers, massive curtains with tiebacks in the form of metal chains. The design of curtains with a pattern reminiscent of a chessboard, figures, Japanese characters or the skins of wild animals looks elegant.
A practical option for rooms of any style would be black and white straight-style curtains. If you prefer the classics, then decorate the curtains with fringe in dark colors and use patterned lambrequins. For curtains, high-quality, expensive fabrics are used - jacquard, silk.
Design
The design of curtains is always quite eloquent, you just need to read it correctly.
- Plain light curtains always look festive, while increasing the living space.
- Contrasting inserts are always a bright accent.
- The drawing always emphasizes a certain style. If floristry on textiles speaks of a classical orientation, then geometric lines will fit into any modern interior.
In addition to the home, these curtains are incredibly popular for offices. They do not allow light to pass through if it interferes with work, but at the same time they look incredibly stylish and strict. Some cafes and restaurants use such textiles quite successfully.
Black and white in kitchen decor
In a small space, using the same amount of white and black will be perceived as boring and gloomy. The desired picture will turn into an ordinary set of nonsense. Usually, you want to somehow increase the kitchen space using light shades, so white should predominate.
If you have dark furniture, curtains or drapes must be white or milky, a small bright print is allowed. In a room with a predominance of light colors, on the contrary, there are black curtains with a light pattern.
Variations
By changing the decoration of the room and textiles in black and white interior design, you can easily change the style:
- curtains with animal patterns will add a safari style;
- abstraction emphasizes the art deco style;
- striped curtains will add minimalism to the room;
- monochrome canvases with diametrical trim along the edges give the interior a classic look;
- curtains with flowers and floral prints add grace.
Curtain sizes
Correctly selected size is a very important criterion on which the appearance of the decoration depends. Designers advise choosing the length of the canvas depending on the type of room and the desires of the owners.
Short
For small windows, the best option would be a short cafe curtain, which is 2 centimeters below the window sill. For the kitchen and children's rooms, short ones up to the window sill are often chosen.
Long
Long curtains are a classic in the design of window openings. There are 3 types:
- floor length;
- lying on the floor;
- a little missing to the floor.
Long black and white canvases that stand out against the background color of the room visually add height to the room.
Color influence
The black shade is cold, but at the same time light-absorbing. It can be intense and sophisticated at the same time. Everything here is due to the correctly introduced white tint. At the same time, black separates space, and white enlivens and increases the area. If black and white textiles on the windows fit perfectly into the decoration, then it brings it to perfection.
Black will look great in a bright and spacious room, but due to its richness, it can be tiring and depressing. Therefore, dilute dark shades with white color, which awakens positive emotions and peace of mind.
