Life, inspired: Monochrome Magic
Need more inspiration?Texture & Patterns
Another interior design tip we can offer for a monochrome home is to choose a base colour for your larger furniture pieces first. Thus, you can reinforce your colour palette and envision the pieces bringing each space together. It’s much easier to replace decor and artwork than replacing large and often more expensive furniture pieces such as your dining table and sofa.
For smaller pieces of furniture and decor, we recommend adding texture and patterns. An all-white or all-black interior can appear flat, unwelcome, and frankly too ‘matchy-matchy.’ No one wants that. Adding texture and patterns among decor, rugs, and wall art can transform your space, adding depth and warmth that it may be otherwise lacking.

While opting for a monochrome interior might seem like one of the more accessible options, it does come with its challenges.
When you remove colour from a space, you must pay more attention to the smaller details. A monochrome home leaves little room to hide clutter and un-belonging decor items.
We recommend maximising storage options in a monochromatic home by opting for furniture with plenty of drawer and cabinet storage to hide those less than aesthetic pieces. On the other hand items such as throw rugs look amazing and need to be seen.

Adding a touch of greenery with plants and foliage is an interior design loophole for monochrome interior design. So, break up the space by simply adding a touch of greenery. Then, whether natural or artificial, pop the plant in a white or black pot and watch your space transform.
You can also break up a monochrome space and add another layer of dimension by styling with mirrors. Style your mirror over entry consoles, dining tables, or fireplaces.
Another sneaky way to break up a monochrome interior is by utilising artificial and natural light. You can set the mood desired with warm or bright light globes in table lamps, floor lamps, and ceiling lights.
