6 Black And White Tile Designs To Give Your Home A Timeless Look

The colour scheme of a space has a great role to play – it plays a major role in dictating the mood of the space. Various colours are associated with different moods; blues and whites are considered to be calming, greens and browns can give a natural vibe, and maroon and rust can give the space a warm glow.

On a similar tangent, a black and white colour scheme is a classic combination that can give the space a clean and timeless look. Whether you are going for a sleek and modern look or a rustic look, the black and white colour scheme can help tie things together to create a cohesive space.

If you wish to give your home a look that will stand the test of time, read on for ways in which you can incorporate this colour scheme in your home!

Create A Chic Space

Most of the time we are focused on decorating the walls and tend to ignore the floor – leaving the floor simple. To give your space a super chic black and white look, opt for patterned floors with simple walls. As you can see in the image, the PCG Mesh Carrara Vento is the focal point of the space, with the white and grey cabinets and marble wall tiles completing the look. You can use this look in the kitchen, living room, dining room, and even the bedroom.

Bold Walls With A Muted Floor

More often than not we tend to opt for muted shades while choosing wall and floor tiles, reserving darker shades for furniture, upholstery, and accessories. Make a bold statement with black and white wall tiles and give them a contrast with simpler floor tiles, such as the Decor Moroccan Art Black White. You can complete the black and white look by adding furniture with bright upholstery to give your space a sleek contemporary look. This look is ideal for the living room where you want to make a bold statement and wow your guests with your sense of style.

A Brick Wall For A Timeless Look

Brick walls that were once a classic, have found their way into contemporary spaces, making them a timeless look. The black and white combination used in this space not only gives the space a sleek look, but also helps create a stylish space for you to use. The combination tiles used here, HEG Brick Black and HEG Brick White, give the space a sleek and contemporary feel. The addition of black and white furniture and accessories adds to the charm of the space.

Black & White Marble Tile Floors To Add A Contemporary Touch

Shake things up and give your black and white space a modern look with black floors. Keep things simple with white walls, furniture, and upholstery to ensure you do not overwhelm the space. The Super Gloss Belgium Black Marble Tile can give your floors a super shine and make the space seem bigger than it actually is. While you can opt for this look in any room you desire, the intensity and grandeur of this look works well in a larger and more open space, so it is best if you opt for this design for your living room or dining room.

Create Accents And Designs On The Floor

If you do not want a very in-your-face black and white look for your space, you can opt for this idea to create a space that is subtle, yet modern. The PGVT Statuario Marble tile is used in conjunction with the black tiles. These black tiles create a design that is a combination of a geometrical and floral design, which helps create a focal point for the space. This design idea is best used in the living room or sitting room since there is enough open space for you to look at and appreciate the design on the floor.

Add Hints Of Other Colours To Mellow Down The Look

If you are of the opinion that the combination of black and white is a bit too sleek for your taste, you can inject pops of colours in places to soften the overall look of the space. For example, the ODH Ganga Beta HL wall tile and ODM Statuario EC White FL floor tile in this space create a pretty crisp look, but the addition of the red sofa adds a playful element that softens the whole ambience of the room. You can add pops of colours in various ways to your rooms – colourful throw pillows or blankets on sofas in the living room, bright bedspreads or curtains in the bedroom, bright splashback in the kitchen, colourful mosaics in the bathroom, or a vase with bright flowers on the dining room table. A little hint of colour can do wonders for your space.

Black and white is a classic combination that has stood the test of time and it is very difficult to go wrong with it. You can add pops of colours, some metallic elements, and grey furniture items to give the space a unique look. Orientbell Tiles’ range of black and white tiles is available in a plethora of designs, patterns, shapes, and sizes, and can be used to achieve the black and white space of your dreams.
