Interiors in Black and White

To many people the thought of decorating a home entirely in black and white may sound a little bit too formal or too sober.  Colors are too comforting and too welcoming, even if the interior is done in pastel colors.  But there are rooms that seem to pull it off surprisingly well, and the common factor seems to be one or two whimsical touches.  This dining room above designed by Alberto Pinto, for instance, has a very playful chandelier and chairs upholstered in polka dots.  The table setting is also very whimsical.

This living area above is also very light in ambiance with lucite based curvy modern chairs and a shag rug.

Whims everywhere in this bathroom, from the shade to the skirted chair/stool.  The sconces have their own touch too. 

 Mix and match chairs in this room include casual Panton chairs and Louis XV style chairs.

 Sort of polka dot again covering a chair.

The space above has like a very nice light reflection that gives it a hint of pink.  The zebra rug, the round mirror and the sconces pull everything off.

This bathroom is quite spectacular.  What doors!  Love the size of the sconces and the brass door handle.

 Here again, the zebra stool and the shape of the lamps brake the space from being too sober.

So beautiful!
