Black and white spaces are very popular right now, but I think black looks even better when combined with a striking color. Black always adds sophistication to a room, and with the addition of saturated colors, this look is bold and dramatic. So, if you're looking for that 'wow' factor in your home, here are some ideas to try.

| Navy and black. Pairing black with a vibrant, dark blue will give your space a luxurious feeling. Here, gray accents give this space even more swankiness. |
| |
| Yellow and black. In nature and on the roadways, black and yellow reminds us to to take caution. However, in interiors this dynamic color combo is stylish, elegant and far from dangerous. More black and yellow spaces |

| Orange and black. This color duo is not just for Halloween. In this warm and friendly space, orange accents are accompanied by a black, tiled fireplace surround. Other shades of black can be seen in the artwork. |

Green and black. Using black with a muted shade of apple green creates an organic, soothing space. This is a great, unexpected color scheme for dining and entertaining.

| Pink and black. This glam color combo is a definite favorite among the younger set, which makes these hues a fun choice for your tween or teen's bedroom. |

Red and black. In this space, I painted a black accent wall because I wanted a strong backdrop to anchor the vibrant red chairs and colorful accessories.

Purple and black. These colors work very well in a contemporary setting. Deep purple and black create a look that is elegant and maybe even a little mysterious.

| Turquoise and black. Black pairs well with any color, but there's just something about a turquoise and black room that looks so balanced. Maybe that's because warm blues are so tranquil and eye-friendly; they have the ability to soften even the deepest of dark colors and bring a room into harmony.
