Today I am embracing a little black and white. I tend to shy away from the darker colors but here is some inspiration that is proving that a little dark never hurt anyone:

When using black and dark colors, I think it's great to mix it with some bold bright as well to even it out and give natural light a chance to brighten up the room.

I've always been a fan of a gorgeous tub, but this black on white tub trend is really starting to catch my eye!

There's something timeless about black and white, and it's a great gender neutral bathroom as well!

Subtle touch of Festivities!

FREE IMAGES

The Gorgeous shades emerald green and white just look  so pretty together.This palette was all about harvest inspired elegance for me .Throw in loads of metallic gold and candlelight and this is about as festive as it gets! Petals of flowers formed rangoli patterns around the candles as an added element that is relatively easy to accomplish yet creates a whole new dimension to the look.

Decorative elements like crystal ittar bottles around the candles , small white shells or a pallankuzhi create a wonderful ambience in any corner or on the dining table.The green kantha bedspread creates a subtle background.

Natural wood really adds some character to the white without taking away from the crisp clean look!

You don’t need to clear out your local Hobby Lobby of everything with a star or a stripe this month to give your home or 4th of July celebration a patriotic sparkle, you can show your pride this Independence Day in a less is more approach with style, sophistication, and a little bit of fun.

The opening of The Pledge of Allegiance in a bold modern graphic print is a great way to show some spirit.
