black frame and white engravings
Who better to rock the monochrome look Coco Chanel? I love these images, and they work so well with the geometric cushions and carpets. framed prints can be really affordable and you can go to any good home store for executives if your impressions are of a standard size. Keep bright white walls gives a feeling gallery and stop blacks from being oppressive. The combination of different geometries and patterns gives an eclectic feel that keeps it feeling too artificial salon.

Add one color key
do not feel obligated to stay in black and white only in a monochrome system - bright colors can really bounce off this look. I love the yellow fatty acids and how they started this amazing geometric carpet design. The border on the steps and handrail dark tie this scene perfectly together.

adopt a subtle approach
Monochrome does not necessarily mean geometric, which often arises in mind when you think of the term. This quiet room shows an altogether more subtle approach. I love the use of contrasting black piping on the couch - it really brings the strength of the room otherwise pale, and prevents it to blend into the white wall behind. The clean lines also work brilliantly framed the work above.
In practice, the darker piping on the pale furniture is a good way to stop the fabric look dirty with use.

Tone down with brown and cream
the monochrome look can be softened by going for the chocolate biscuits and shades. dark wood paneling is an effective way to add drama to a space, and here, the black window frame and the floor look striking against the wall biscuits, while the sofa pulls the scheme together. The introduction of turquoise cushions off the scene to feel completely monochromatic for a lighter look.
A word on the dark wood paneling is not very forgiving, so do not get overzealous with the vacuum cleaner, the chips will reveal the underlayer light below. It will also show dust much more than light woodwork.

make a brave statement
This design of the stone wheel is really a bold statement. Its striking curves, colors and positioning in the subject of the room. If this is too hard for you, you can go for a pale stone tile more traditional, laid on the diagonal, and then enter a dark marble cabochon between larger tiles. Personally, I like this design. The curves contrasting parts make it fun, but very elegant.

accents Experiment
carpet and long walls are a great way to introduce monochrome in your home. Not only do they have a real impact, the more temporary accents can easily be exchanged if there is another must-have trend on the horizon. Here, the black and white is combined with wood tones of Scandinavian inspiration, which add warmth to this scheme.

Invite black in the bathroom
If you can get a warm light in a bathroom, and a schema dark colors can give you a true five star luxury feel. I love the dark atmosphere bath here, which makes the white interior of the bath looked so clean and quiet. The pale stone floor breaks this room and keeps its appearance inviting rather than intimidating. White accessories work really well, too, and this glimpse of bright pink flower shows how a dark room can take a splash of color.

Set the scene with the dark stairs
stairs are the perfect space gallery, and images in black and white framed you and your guests offer a good excuse to drag down the stairs looking at a picture of meaningful memories. The dark carpet is what really binds together this luxurious look. It highlights the line of the handrail, and the border of darker tone that descends on each side adds elegance.
