The Monochrome style at a glance
Monochrome style gives up color to play only with black, white and shades of gray. Contrast becomes the decoration: a black sofa against a white wall, a graphic rug, slim frames. Furniture is sleek, and lighting, often directed like in a gallery, highlights the shapes. The result is chic, sharp and very modern.
To make monochrome work, vary materials rather than colors: wool, leather, metal, glass and black-stained wood. Texture keeps the room from feeling flat. Choose one or two strong patterns, stripes or geometric shapes, and keep everything else plain. A green plant can be the only exception. With Redeko, take a photo of your room and see it in black and white: the AI keeps your walls and windows and only changes the decor.
Monochrome suits living rooms, home offices and entryways. It sits close to modern and brutalist styles, with a more graphic edge, and photographs beautifully.
