Attractive Opposites

3 February 2011,

The use of black and white in decorating gives a fresh, clean, and unquestionably sophisticated and elegant look to any room.

The use of white and black in decorating can create a stunning and dramatic decor. Using the colour black adds a focal point of colour that grounds, anchors, and adds a sophisticated look to a room. Black in accessories, light fixtures, trims, paint, or in one bold piece of furniture will help to catch the eye and sharpen any decorating scheme as black by itself is striking colour. But to get real drama and spark, pair black with white. Black and white is a perfect colour combination for any decorating style. Contemporary interiors often combine black and white with sleek metals, which is exactly what Sharon Loh of GDY Design & Construction Sdn Bhd has done for this modern home in Lake Field Sg. Besi.

The architecture within the home is already designed to promise impressed gasps from anyone who walks through the front door, from the lighting fixtures that resemble white bubbles hanging in mid air to the glass paneled staircase that sweeps two storeys high, creating an impression of just how tall and majestic the home is. Just like it takes two people to tango, a properly modern contemporary home will not be complete with the right dashing of vogue home décor accessories from paintings, tile paneling and in this case, the very geometrically loud yet almost couture wall-to-ceiling paneling behind the television, full credits to GDY.
