Colour My Home: Black & White
February 1, 2013 in Lifestyle
Our Colour My Home posts are far and few between but they are one of my favourites to do. I could browse and shop research for homewares all day long!
So far we have covered mint, yellow and turquoise but today we are going back to basics with a classic combination: black & white.
Whether you pair your black and white together or opt for white on white, black on black or black and white with a pop of colour (turquoise for me please!), black and white can really give a room that classic but modern look all at the same time (just think Kris Jenner’s renovated mansion!)
I’m absolutely loving all of today’s picks especially the Paris clock from Modcloth and that chair from The Chic Element. I recently bought a $49 turquoise chair from Freedom for my new workspace but when I grow tired of that, the Eames Daw replica will be mine!
I picked up the ‘Sweet Home’ sign from Pillow Talk last week and I think it would add a nice touch to any home. Having white walls in our house, I’m going to attempt to get crafty and paint it black – sure to be a disaster but for $9.95, I’ll take the risk!

1. Paris je Time Clock from Modcloth ($64.99) // 2. Sweet Home Wall Art from Pillow Talk ($9.95) // 3. Coffee City Nespresso Holder from Peter’s of Kensington ($18.00) // 4. Fancy Table Lamp from Domayne ($34.95) // 5. Collection of Cool Arrow Cushion from Down That Little Lane ($64.95) // 6. Replica Eames Daw Armchair from The Chic Element ($99.00)
How do you do black and white – white on white, black on black, white and black with a pop of colour?
Stay Chic,
Melinda xx

Ladies, it’s like you read my mind!! Although I’m doing a grey instead of black with the white base and pops of turquoise/aqua
And I really need that white chair xx
I’m decorating with grey and white too, Jade…and I quite like the idea of turquoise/aqua as a pop of colour! Our friends have those chairs around their great big wooden dining table and they just look fabulous. Melinda’s done a great job of picking these items!
Those Eames replica charis are a dream for me…LOVE! You girls find THE BEST stuff!
Thank you Kim, we try our best! Melinda x
