I love those cushions! does anyone know where they're from? - I'm looking for sleek but simple cushions and these look like the thing that I'm looking for, so if anyone knows where they're from or cushions similar I would be very grateful! »
Franz Kline. Franz Kline's black and white abstract expressionist paintings are both stark and full of emotion at the same time. This room, with its dominant use of black and white, is similar - it's neutral, but dramatic. The key to both the paintings and the room is a clear balance between the two colors. Too much of one and the energy evaporates.
Black and white from top to bottom. Notice the balance in color and how important it is for the idea to work. There's also great patterns and beautiful lines that showcase what this trend is all about.
The dark walls, carpet, and upholstery recede in this room to give the molding and built-ins center stage. Even though the contrast is as polarized as it gets, the small room still feels relaxing and comfortable.

Even though this space has things I typically like (ethnic accents, neutrals + color accents, photography, leather) - there is WAY TOO MUCH BLACK for me.
