Goldie Hawn knows a thing or two about timeless classics. As the star of cult-favorite films like Death Becomes Her and The First Wives Club, the Academy Award-winning actor is a mainstay in the film industry. When it comes to her interiors, she opts for classics as well; especially in the color scheme realm.
The performer posted a video to her Instagram page of her monochromatic color scheme – an interior staple – and we loved how the soft white luxury bedding and fluffy pillows complemented her black, curved headboard.
Monochrome color palettes are a simple yet highly effective way to elevate a space with opposing colors and a high-drama impact. Since the bedroom is a space for rest, the strategy behind monochrome is a bit more specific and targeted towards a peaceful (but chic) ambiance.
'Two-tone palettes are centered around contrast, and this rings true for black and white bedrooms above all other combinations,' Homes & Gardens' editor Jennifer Ebert says. 'The caveat of these schemes is they can feel flat if texture is not incorporated. Make sure to utilize different materials with a variety of finishes for optimal visual appeal.
Hawn's fuzzy blanket serves as fantastic inspiration; it complements the smooth throw pillows and sturdy wood comprising her black headboard.
Ebert also explains that experimenting with how much of each color is used is a great way to create an interesting contrast.
'You don't need to decorate with completely equal amounts of black and white,' she states. 'Try a mostly white room with black accents for dramatic effect, or a primarily black room for a cocooned atmosphere.'
Finally, don't be afraid to introduce other neutrals in a monochrome bedroom in the form of natural materials.
'Even if you're aiming for a black and white room, adding in natural elements like stone or wood can enhance the space by infusing it with nature,' she explains. 'Alternatively, materials like glass and marble maintain a luxe, elegant appearance in the bedroom. Anything with a metallic finish is also a good option.'
