Coveted Crib: Black and White and Cool All Over
With a palette that is mostly black and white, the accents of color in this Stockholm home really pop. Beyond that, Dutch decorator André Schievink courageously mixed minimalism with kitsch, antiques with Ikea, in a way that makes each piece stand out. For instance, in the dining room an ancient dining table is surrounded by plastic Verner Panton S Chairs, and next door a slick modern table lamp sits curiously on a period grand piano.
The 10 Coolest Black and White Geometric Wallpapers
When shopping for accessories, bedding, and table linens, I tend to gravitate toward color. But I am also very much a solids girl. So I'm thinking that a geometric black and white wallpaper would give me the pop and pattern that I need, while still allowing me to go crazy with colorful accessories.
Trend Alert: Black, White, and Chic All Over

Coveted Crib: Black and White and Modern All Over
I love too many colors and styles to ever go only black, white, and modern, but I applaud he who has the restraint (and the balls) to do it. I spotted this large Georgian house in Tetbury, a small town in — believe it or not — the Cotswolds, and was blown away.

Considering that babies can only see in black and white for their first few months, the color combination could have been created just for them.

Isn't Audrey a vision in Chanel? At the Paris premiere of the hotly anticipated Coco Chanel bio-flick, Coco Avant Chanel, she wore a black-and-white floral frock from Lagerfeld's Spring couture collection. She contrasted the prim with a not-so-prim cropped black leather jacket.

Celebrity Style: Katharine McPhee
In a sea of dresses at the The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening, Katharine stood out in her polished, yet easy, black and white pant ensemble. Her white silk Alice + Olivia top with floral appliqué sleeves is sweet but she tempers the look with black trousers.
Midday Muse: Monochrome Living
I'm not one to steer away from color or pattern, but I think there is something to be said for monochrome interiors. In a vibrant, busy space, shapes can become lost and ignored, but a more pared down design can accentuate your furnishings, reminding you each day of why you fell for them in the first place. Take the chandeliers in the photograph, for example.
