Add subtle Moroccan touches. A little Moroccan flair may be all you need to revitalize a room. In Montague's Peacock Pavilions office, she constructed unique shelves out of decorative cinder blocks and wood planks. She stenciled her plain file folders and boxes with geometric designs. And extending the black and white color scheme, she decorated the floor with calligraphy.Related: 5 Smashing Black and White Rooms

2. Board and cinder block shelving. Before the dawn of Ikea, this bare-bones approach to storage was almost de rigeur for dorm life. But that's no reason to settle for raw 2-by-4s and crumbling concrete. In this chic yet cheeky space, cinder blocks with an appealing grid pattern are topped with boards painted white, a thoroughly inviting twist on the old favorite.
