If you're a fan of black and white prints but generally only wear them or place them back with black and white, consider adding a colour to the mix as the black and white print becomes even more exciting when being met with colour.

When it comes to bathrooms, kitchens, or laundries using a black and white print tile, add some blonde wood for that little bit extra.

Just because you have a coloured couch, doesn't mean that you can't use statement throw cushions in black and white print. Dark teal looks amazing with a black and white print.

My black and white print coat works perfectly over the top of my dusty blue shirt and light stone pants.


Are you scared of wearing black and white print on yourself while adding a colour as you only ever wear it back with black or white?

It's True that not all colours work well with a black-and-white print (and only two colour types suit that high contrast print the very best) but there there are so many colours that look amazing when you pair them together.
