We took a simple 12' x 12' room and added instant interest by adding a bold black and white paisley wallpaper from Lee Jofa to the main wall. We then found a 1960s headboard found laying on the floor of a flea market and sprayed it in a high-gloss black paint. The headboard was then hung and flanked with two white lacquered side tables from Target. On the floor we added alternating carpet tiles from Interface Carpets in both a herringbone and fishnet pattern. We just added the tiles around the bed in order to maintain the ebonized hardwood floors. We then punched it up a notch by brining in a bright green accent color.

Love the wallpaper! Does anyone know where it's from? »
Wallpaper paste is a bigger commitment than I'm willing to make personally, but I do like how this pattern almost acts as a background neutral against the strong green.
Switch up your bedding. Bright pillows and a throw blanket is the easiest and least permanent way to give bold color a whirl. The same trick can be applied to the sofa.
A black and white scheme always benefits from a little unexpected color. If you scour sales, you can find accessories like throw blankets and toss pillows for next to nothing. That means big changes seasonally or according to your mood won't be a pricey endeavor.
Accented Neutral color scheme(Green is accent)
Principle:
Rythem(through repetition of black anc white on wallpaper and in floor pattern)
Elements:
-Line(curved lines in head board and wallpaper)
-Form(abstract form of headboard)
