Cute Black & White Bedroom Ideas

Black and white wallpaper is a good decorating starting point.

Black and white is a color scheme as versatile as it is classic. You can create almost any mood in your bedroom using black and white, from cute yet sophisticated to sleek and modern. If you crave a sweet bedroom retreat decorated in black and white, tweak traditional style with one-of-a-kind touches.

Cat Wall

Paint one wall solid black or solid white and paint a large, cute, cartoon-style cat face in the middle using the opposite color. You can accent with additional colors, like green or blue for the eyes and red or pink for a darting tongue. Remember to paint long, jaunty whiskers on the wall cat. This decorative accent is particularly suitable for anime fans and people who love cats. Consider stenciling a cat-related quote along the top or bottom of the wall, forming a sort of literary border. Famous cat quotes include, "A meow massages the heart" (Stuart McMillan) and "What greater gift than the love of a cat?" (Charles Dickens).

Green Accents

Pepper your black and white bedroom with cheery green accents, an idea showcased in the articles "Long Island Cottage" on the Country Living website and "Guess the Decade: Black and White Wallpapered Bedroom" on the Apartment Therapy website. Some ideas for adorable green accents include a frog throw rug, a riot of ferns in matching white containers, lime green throw pillows on your bed, polka-dotted curtains, a drawing in a green frame, and applique cartoon bugs on a black bedspread. If green isn't your favorite color, choose accents in a similarly lively color, like yellow, orange or fuchsia.

Stripes

Adorn one major focal point of the bedroom, like the bedspread or the wall behind the bed, with black and white horizontal stripes, borrowing an idea from the article "Long Island Cottage" on the Country Living website. Stripes bring an element of playfulness to a room. Alternately, black and white polka dots also add a playful look.
