Almost any type of room can look complete with just black, white, and some optional accent colors (even metallics work). A room done in black and white can be as light or dark as you want it, depending on the ratio you choose, but the end result is almost always an air of sophistication.
Black and white rooms are a breeze to decorate and re-decorate if you just have a few accent pieces to replace when your mood or the season changes. Some inspiration:

I absolutely love the b & w rectangle rug, it is so adorable. I’ll have to wait until my kids are out of the house to try something like this because white is just asking for STAINS!
I’m noticing that black and white has a very bold but fine look. But that flooring would make me dizzy.
