Hi, everyone, I'm Susi and I write as a guest blogger for
DesignShuffle.com, a popular social media site that promotes interior designers and their work from around the world. My writing focuses on things I'm passionate about: interior design,
decorating ideas, home furnishings, gardening, travel and art. I get to look at gorgeous things all day and write about them. I'm a very lucky girl!
I am excited to be visiting Drastic Plastic today to talk about contrast as a fun design element. Contrast can include color, texture, style... as long as there is some opposition, you'll have contrast. Here are 8 rooms where contrast is used as a design element. Thanks for letting me and Design Shuffle visit! Hope you enjoy!
Black and white create a strong contrast in this neo-traditional living room. Love the black sides and tan seat on the wingback chair. The cowhide rug adds more black and white contrast to the room.
Black walls and white accents flip the black and white concept from the room above. Yellow candlesticks provide a nice contrast to both the black and white.
Gray and yellow are a great pair of contrasting colors. The dark, moody gray offsets and balances the sunny, bright yellow to create a sophisticated palette.
White with bold pops of color is a crisp look full of contrast. Love the bold orange stripes on the high headboards and the corresponding orange cross in the artwork.
White grout used with black tile creates a high contrast look in the kitchen. The white grout acts almost like piping on furniture. Love the marble floor too. Oh, so many
kitchen design ideas here!
A Mallorca, Spain cottage bathroom shows off contrasting styles and textures. Contemporary meets farmhouse in this bathroom. Rough stone farmhouse walls contrast against sleek contemporary faucets and sinks.
A sleek Parsons table contrasts in style with the French dining chairs and traditional blue and white porcelain ginger jar. This eclectic mix is pulled together in a crisp blue and white palette.
In a contrast of
interior design styles, a traditional room with herringbone wood floors and crown molding contrasts with the modern furnishings and contemporary wall paint to create an eclectic, chic room. Love the navy and pink on the walls.
