Monochrome spaces can feel cool and modern, but they can also go to the other extreme and read cold and uninviting. One simple way that you can bring warmth and balance to a black-and-white room, is with metallics and fresh greenery, as expertly demonstrated by Brooke Shields in her beautiful light-filled breakfast nook.
The actress's breakfast nook idea brings a white wood-panelled bay window to life with a zinc-topped table, metallic accents, like this silver wall sconce (Home Depot), a flourish of fresh greenery from a leafy indoor tree, and some elegant black rattan-detail dining chairs (Wayfair has similar). And this timeless combination is as seemingly ageless as Brooke Shields herself, who happens to have posted the picture below on the first anniversary of her book on ageing gracefully.
