Relevance, Flexibility, Multifunctionality - Founders of Design Studio Geometrix Design Michael and Helen Miroshkina told IVD.ru, why it is worth looking for a classic combination of black and white in the interior.
1 Black and White Gamma The most flexible and adaptable
It makes it a stereotype that the monochrome interior is beless, cold and uncomfortable ... But in fact, white in the interior is a color-chameleon. It has many shades, is able to reflect the surrounding colors and respond to natural lighting: white may vary depending on the weather and time of day. On a cloudy day, the room will be filled with cold shades of gray, the sun will make the interior bright and fresh, and the sunset paints the walls into warm colors.
White antipode - black - it is also capable of changing, but, unlike white, has its depth and, on the contrary, absorbs light.
Helene Miroshkin:
In combination, in addition to color contrast, black and white give the energy contrast. White reflects and perceived bright and easy. Black absorbs and as if expanding the interior space. By combining, we can build both dark meal and light light interior with contrast elements.
2 Black and white interior adjusts to lighting
In a black and white interior, artificial lights and its scenarios play a special role: thanks to the soft scattered light, the interior can be added shades. Due to the backlight, you can also completely change the mood of the interior: to immerse it in the cozy atmosphere of the evening or, on the contrary, zerly to light the necessary angles.Michael Miroshkin:
The same monochrome interior can be strict, warm, enveloping or bold, cheerful, if you enable, for example, neon backlight.
3 Combination Suitable for Zoning
Thanks to the contrast, the black and white interior is perfectly coping with zoning. One of the colors can be designated not only borders, but also allocate the entire functional zone.
Helene Miroshkin:
If you take guests in the kitchen, which is often found in Russian homes and apartments, then the white can become a zone for guests, and the black is the cooking zone. With competent use of artificial lighting, the number of scenarios for a different type of events in your kitchen is almost limitless: from family gatherings to parties with friends.
4 such an interior is ideal for bright accents
The monochrome basis is like a pure canvas: it can create a variety of paintings, including bright and cheerful. It is necessary to believe that the combination of black and white is boring, it means to think very narrowly.
Michael Miroshkin:
You can build a bold architectural volume (mirror dressing room or a geometric area of the home theater), built only on two basic colors, black and white. And you can enter bright accents: put a bright chair in the black and white interior, and it will become the basis of the composition.
5 black and white are always relevant
The monochrome interior will never endure: the color trends are changing every year, and the base remains. Thus, having in arsenal b / b base, you can change the interior under current trends without global transformations.
Michael Miroshkin:
You can add accessories from stained glass yourself, hang a bright picture or throw a pair of colored ornamental pillows - and transform your interior.
6 Black and white interior will not get tired
In the modern world, with an abundance of advertising and digital noise, sometimes you just want to relax. The monochrome interior will help in this: you can reboot and relax.
Helene Miroshkin:
Black takes the negative day, the white fills the energy, and every day it will be another white and other black, depending on natural and artificial lighting, as well as your mood.
