BLACK AND TAN
Why is it that when black and tan are used in conjunction, the look is smashing? There is something very sophisticated, classy, and rich about that combination.
Take a sofa that is all light tan in color, add pillows that are a black mixed with tan - it doesn't matter what the pattern is, be it plaid, paisley, geometric, safari, floral - - - and the combination will lift that sofa up in design caliber.
In the bedroom - if a bedspread is black with tan it's very attractive to both male and female tastes. Couple the bed with light distressed woods and the bedroom will be soft and romantic. A sisal carpet look in wool will soften the feel, keeping the concept trendy and urban.
Keep the walls in a neutral light tan with cream flowing curtains hung on a black rod that are lined with blackouts. Line the bottom of the curtains with black linen for a step higher in overall appeal.
Accent chairs in a mixed tone or texture - try a leopard print -or a large floral as a impact and capture interest to the theme. Pictures on the wall should be in the same tones with black frames and crisp white mattes. CHIC!
I always feel all the elements should be in a room to give it 'warmth' and interest - glass, metal, wood, shell, wicker, fabric, plants....... even to the smallest detail.
Clean, sophisticated, classy -- that's the look you will get with black and tan. It works whether the decor is traditional or contemporary. Its is like a basic black dress worn in Hong Kong, it just fits in always.
