Reading Nook

To walk into this black and white modern bedroom would be a dream come true, wouldn't it? Don't worry, you can easily achieve this look at home! Keep the overall tone neutral and add the black for contrast to elevate the design.

If you love a good black and white moment, this modern bedroom is swoon-worthy. The black and white color scheme create a gender-neutral space while the contrast adds a hint of sophistication. Gold metal accents and an abundance of large mirrors brighten the space and bounce the gorgeous sunlight around the room.

Need a small room to feel bigger? Add a few mirrors around the room to help reflect light and give the illusion of a larger space. In this modern bedroom, the use of oversized mirrors above the nightstand and the large floor mirror do the trick!

Tapered legs and tufted upholstery are the little details that bring mid-century style to these armchairs. All the cool, gray fabric needs is a black and white lumbar pillow for comfort and a touch of pattern. Add a basket of books to your seating area and it can also serve as a reading nook! 

Wood tones and black accents come together effortlessly in nearly every style choice. The minimalist lines in the furniture pieces here allow the high contrast statement to really shine in this living room! A large palm tree brings height to the corner and adds a splash of green to the palette.

When having a neutral color scheme, it’s important to add various materials and textures to add a sense of dimensionality to your home office. The natural wooden top of the desk adds an organic texture that complements the soft leather of the ottoman. Black metal accents emphasize the industrial nature of the space.

Generously proportioned armchairs make the ideal spot for lounging or reading. Rustic weathered driftwood is captured in the canvas artwork above, lending neutral visual interest to the wall. A floor lamp and pouf complete this office reading nook.

Toss the blue color scheme out to the ocean and try using greens. You can create layers by using different shades of green in your design. Muted and bright greens like turquoise or teal pair nicely together. Add in a lamp with rope details and comfortable woven chair and you have a beautiful coastal design.

Eames lounge chair—check! Oversized minimalist artwork—check! Streamlined statement lighting—check! This office has all the hallmarks of a mid-century modern bachelor sanctuary. A crisp black and white color scheme allows those mid-century wood tones to really pop!

This eclectic style living room has lots of personalities! Although the color palette is neutral, lots of different textures and neutral tones bring variety and visual interest into the room. Mixing elements such as the wood coffee table to the stone side table and the metal console table all bring this eclectic living room to life.

Industrial doesn't have to mean stark! A plush fur rug sets off a simple but comfy chair and pouf combo, perfect for reading or working. A warm grey accent wall makes this little nook feel super cozy and helps soften the bold black and white decor throughout the space.

We love the idea of adding a reading nook to your bedroom for an extra space to unwind at the end of the day. And you don’t have to have a lot of space to do this! A single chair and a basket for books is all you really need. Though a rug for coziness and to section off that space certainly doesn’t hurt!
