Guest Picks: Chic Black and White Chinoiserie

Decorating with black and white is a hot trend for 2014. Adding pieces in black and white gives any room, regardless of its style or color scheme, a classic, elegant, graphic and modern ambience. In rooms with lots of color, black and white pieces ground the space, making it more sophisticated. In a beige or monochromatic room, black and white touches eliminate boredom and add a wow factor. An all-black-and-white room is chic and modern, yet timeless and elegant. I have selected some great chinoiserie picks that will do the trick in your home. — Beth from Chinoiserie Chic
