White Walls,Dark Accents

There's something about dark accents against white walls that really attracts the eye. It can be anything, from big room-dominating furniture to smaller accessories adding the slightest punch. 

The look has even made its way into my own home: My bedroom has a black bed and dresser; the living room has a black arc lamp (that I hunted for forever before finding one for a steal on The Foundary), grey curtains and zebra rug; now I'm working on installing a black cluster chandelier over the dining table. I'd have a black couch if I didn't have a white dog—you know how it goes. 

I don't have any good photos of my condo, but here are some of my fave inspiration photos from around the interwebs:
