Is monochrome décor still trending?

“Bold colours are all the rage now, but that doesn’t mean black and white interiors are on the way out. Monochrome interiors are constantly reinvented and are the perfect palette for experimenting with different interior styles. 

Soft minimalism is one example of how monochrome décor continues to shine. Gone are the days when minimalism was known for its bare or overly stark design; with soft minimalism, the essentials are given an inviting touch. For a cosy feel, a black and white backdrop is softened with textures like cotton, wool or linen. Natural textures are another way to liven things up, whether decorating with indoor plants or accessorising with ceramics made from clay. 

Wabi sabi is another interior style and aesthetic that comes to mind when decorating with a monochrome palette. This Japanese philosophy that emphasises the beauty in imperfection and impermanence takes on a mindful approach when it comes to interiors. It places importance on natural textures like wood, stone and clay, setting the tone for a stylish space that values comfort. A raw wooden coffee table with natural grain and imperfect knots softly contrasts the black and white backdrop, while clay ceramics highlight the simplicity and earthy elements of wabi sabi.

The new and improved Art Deco is a great way to add a glamorous vibe to monochrome décor. Focusing on luxe textures like marble, velvet and metallic accents helps emphasise this. Since it’s a monochrome palette, bring curved motifs through arch details or side furniture like a round coffee table. Fluted wall panelling that’s painted black creates a stylish focal point and makes your space feel fresh and contemporary.

Quiet luxury style is still getting a lot of buzz since it gives the home a fresh and contemporary update, especially when paired with monochrome decor. The black and white palette is elevated with classic and elegant design in textures like velvet, boucle and plush fabric. Attention to detail is key to this style, with wall panelling, architraves and unique shapes all taking centre stage. Lighting is also important in bringing quiet luxury interiors to life - choosing warm lighting for wall lights helps create a cosy ambience and exclusive zones in one space.”
