Minimalist is one of the most favourite interior design styles, especially among urban citizens. However, given the sizes of apartment that are usually smaller than landed houses in general, the interior design needs to be evaluated so that residents’ comfort is maintained. Choosing the right colour for the interior elements is an important to achieve the desired outcomes.

In general, neutral colours can always be the main design tone. One of the most popular neutral colours is monochromatic black and white. Besides looking balanced, a combination of black and white could also conjure up an elegant or classy impression. Basically, you can choose white for the walls to make an apartment look more spacious, and black to make a statement or an accent in a room.

Here are more tips if you are interested in a more defined monochromatic design. You could add monochromatic photo frames on the wall of your living room or use checkered floor tiles in one area of your apartment. Another option is that you can apply black colour on a certain wall as an accent. In order to prevent the room being dark and gloomy, always consider enough lighting in the room to complement the black-accented wall.

If we take a look at a typical apartment, there are usually no partitions between the living room and the kitchen. Here, the division of space can be accomplished by varying the material on both spaces with black and white colour on both walls and ceilings. This strategy could also be done by juxtaposing two wallpapers with different patterns.

Bedrooms have an important role as a private space to rest. The choice of colours in the monochromatic black-and-white interior design in a bedroom could create an impression of elegance and modernity, while still providing a relaxing atmosphere. To make the room feel airy and bright, use white curtains instead of black. In addition, you can also add a few other greyish-coloured furniture or decor as an accent in the space.
