Take your cue from the silver screen and go for the magic of a black-and-white scheme

T

here’s no look quite as timeless as

black and white. And when you

add interesting animal prints and

shining metallics, you not only have a

sophisticated theme, but a room that’s

reminiscent of the Hollywood of old.

Audrey Hepburn, eat your heart out! ►

5. It’s so easy to create an

elegant and sophisticated

space. Paint your walls a

warm white or ivory, and

bring in a large matching

sofa dressed with masses

of fat cushions. Add dark

wooden pieces, black

accessories and, to anchor

the scheme, go tribal with a i

faux zebra rug and ottoman.
