GO MONO

It might not be all ‘black and white’ when it comes to decorating the home but monochrome is still one of the most coveted looks in the world of interior design says Cormar Carpets.

According to Cormar Carpets it holds a timeless and classic appeal and although it’s a simple palette, the strong black and white theme adds impact and drama to any room in the home.

For those who prefer a slightly softer look, introduce soft dark browns or pure greys to the mix. This works particularly well in bedrooms and living spaces where a subtler design scheme may be required. Cormar Carpets
