Monochrome interiors are excellent for those who want a simple, sleek, modern home. Utilising a black, white and grey colour palette, you can incorporate monochromatic pieces into every room of your home to create a unified and cohesive décor. We’ve compiled a list of top tips and must-have items you can add to your home to create something truly stylish.
A great way to create a bold monochrome kitchen is to have black and white walls and cabinets, if you choose to paint the walls black, opt for white cabinets and vice versa. You can then go all out with a black or white floor, or tone it back slightly with a complimentary wooden floor. Now it’s time to add the accessories! Featuring a charming black dotted pattern, the gorgeous Monochrome Spot Glass Mug is ideal for your morning tea or coffee. You can serve up breakfast, lunch and dinner in style with beautiful monochrome plates, soup mugs and bowls and keep your countertops organised with beautiful canisters.
As the central space you’ll be relaxing in when at home, it’s crucial to think about what kind of atmosphere you want to create with the monochrome look; you can either incorporate more black shades for a moodier look or, if you want something a bit fresher, use more whites. Similarly to the kitchen, using black or white paint to set the base of your room is a great idea. Add in a sofa, coffee table, drawers and shelves to start, in black, white or grey shades, and then continue creating your monochromatic look by adding some beautiful finishing touches. Soft furnishings such as cushions, throws and rugs are ideal for giving a softer, cosier feel to the room. With various designs available, a black wall mirror is a great way to introduce shapes and patterns to your walls. Black photo frames can also be dotted around the room with black and white prints inside to create a sophisticated appearance.
A place for you to unwind and get some rest after a long day, your bedroom should be a calming space, and with its minimalistic style, a monochrome interior is a great way to invoke feelings of calm and serenity. If you're torn between black, white or grey for the wall colour, having a feature wall in your bedroom will make a trendy compromise. You can do this by either painting three walls one colour and the four walls a different colour or by adding monochromatic wallpaper to the fourth. To add a softer and chic touch, you can decorate your walls with artwork such as the Home Sweet Home print and the Glitter Fairy Canvas. Complete the room by decorating your shelves, chest of drawers and windowsills with stylish ornaments like a statue or sculpture.
Fun, trendy and easy to execute, creating a monochrome home is a great way to show off some interior design skills. If the monocramitc look isn't for you, check out our article on how to Embrace the Botanical Aesthetic in your Home.
