Black and white décor is at once dramatic and understated,
modern and classic, apparent in the work of iconic designers
such as Dorothy Draper and Madeleine Castaing but just as
present in design today. And the inspiration is all around
us—from nature (a zebra’s stripes, tree trunks rising from
drifts of snow) to old Hollywood movies and fashion to
black-and-white photography and patterns we encounter in our
everyday lives (crossword puzzles and the pages of our
favorite novels).
In Black and White (and a Bit
in Between), acclaimed interior designer Celerie Kemble
trades in her signature vivid palette for this iconic
aesthetic, highlighting the black and white work of design
stars and peers, including Bunny Williams, Thomas O’Brien,
Mary McDonald, Victoria Hagan, Mark Hampton, Delphine
Krakoff, Brad Ford, Philip Gorrivan, Carrier and Co., and
Miles Redd, and welcoming you into more than 100 spaces in
every imaginable aesthetic. Woven throughout are her witty
observations and expert advice on choosing the best paints
and finishes, adding patterns and accessories, building an
entire room scheme based on inspiration found in nature,
collecting black and white objects, and even choosing the
perfect accent colors.
With more than 350 gorgeous
color photographs, this is a vividly photographed
celebration of a timeless scheme, infused with inspirational
tips, glimpses into showstopping homes, and proof that a
limited palette is anything but.
