Balance in Black and White - Making Monochrome Prints Classy

Black and white wall art is incredibly versatile. Buying furniture often feels easy, houseplants are a simple love it or hate it situation, and choosing decorations usually comes naturally. However, many of us worry when deciding on which artwork we would like to hang in our homes. Explore Monochrome here. 

For whatever reason, people often put a lot more pressure on choosing wall art. It can feel as though choosing the wrong piece can have a big impact on a space, so many people will opt to hide prints away or simply not hang anything.

Black and white prints offer the perfect solution to indecision, by effortlessly matching any space. Monochrome prints are incredibly effective when done right. Here are some great style ideas to help you add a touch of class to your home using black and white prints.

Framed Black and White Photographs

Black and white photography is not only great for adding a striking presence to your space but can also serve as a fantastic backdrop. Instead of the usual eclectic mix of paintings and small photographs, try hanging a set of larger black photographs for a classy, vintage feel.

To further enhance this look, you could consider framing these monochrome photos with older wooden frames to give them a subtle pop. A black and white display is pleasing to the eye without being too intrusive, which helps to highlight other colourful decorative elements.

Large Black and White Statement Art

Large pieces of statement art can be difficult to pull off, but when done right, these large prints add heaps of originality and personality to a space. Black and white artwork lends itself perfectly to large, striking prints.

The inherent contrast of colour is sure to grab attention and will quickly become a centrepiece in your home. Furthermore, choosing Black and white for these prints ensures that they will work in any space and match a whole host of other styles.

Black and White Gallery Walls

Black and white prints are at their best when paired with each other. This concept is particularly evident when they are used to create gorgeous gallery wall arrangements.

When creating a gallery wall, it can be difficult to pair the right colours and shapes together. Monochrome prints eliminate this worry altogether and allow you to focus on positioning everything beautifully. No matter how you arrange your prints, the monochrome palette will result in a visually pleasing gallery.

Abstract Black and White Graphic Art

If you just can’t decide on a specific design to complete a space, abstract black and white graphics could be the perfect choice. Simple, eye-catching graphics are very versatile, and are great for adding a modern feel to any room.

Monochrome lends itself incredibly well to this type of print and creates a result that is flawlessly elegant.
