Styling Black and White High Gloss Beds in City Apartments

A black and white high gloss bed suits apartment living, with clean graphic lines that sit comfortably against large windows, modern architecture and the exposed brick of converted buildings. The challenge is keeping strong monochrome contrast from feeling stark in a compact room. In this guide we look at the traits shared by many UK city bedrooms and explain how to balance black and white so one colour leads while the other accents. We show how a single warm material, such as oak, brass or tan leather, transforms the scheme when repeated around the room. We cover reflective and mirrored storage, sliding wardrobes for tight layouts, and where to position the bed in relation to big windows and open plan spaces. You will also find a layered lighting plan, ideas for blocking street light, bedside solutions for narrow gaps, and advice on bedding, pattern, art and plants that complete a sharp, calm and unmistakably urban bedroom....
