Black. I suspect that it isn’t the first colour you would associate with spring. Am I right? Well, I can understand why because whilst those noir hues are beautiful, they don’t exactly feel fresh. That’s until you start to pair them with lush green shades and crisp white base notes. Then we’re talking a whole new ball game, folks! Take the left hand kitchen, where the palette of ash grey and black is punctured with a small handful of green and yellow accents, which add a sense of depth and energy to the richly coloured scheme. Similarly in the right hand kitchen, we see how the striking black and white palette is broken up by using greenery to soften the space. Have you combined black and green before? What are your top tips for decorating with this palette?

I love the combination of black and green! I am working on the interior where everything turned into the scheme “white-black-green”. Thanks for inspiration!
29 / 29 / 2012
LOVE it, will! looks great together!
29 / 29 / 2012
I love this unexpected combo! Thanks for the inspiration! x
29 / 29 / 2012
Great images, great colour combo…the kitchen looks lovely and fresh despite the black wall -thanks to the green white and yellow of course
29 / 29 / 2012
I am a fan of black and white -or their close cousin grey – and bright colors… so fresh and lively especially if the colors are on the warm side of the color wheel!
29 / 29 / 2012
The green really works wanders in a black & white pattern!!
Your blog is always an inspiration to me!
Big hugs!

You're right Will – green definitely freshens up darker tones. Love that first room in particular

ooohhhhh LOVE black and green together. I am already converted. Thanks for the gorgeous pics! (and for stopping by my blog to say hi! ) KG xx
29 / 29 / 2012
oh wow… i hadn't considered pairing green with black (i do so love it with brown or pink, though). but it actually really pops! you've converted me; i'm a fan.
29 / 29 / 2012
I cannot get enough of black, white and green. Your inspiration photos are really appealing to me. I LOVE GREEN especially and pair it mostly with white and little punctuations of black. That first kitchen feels really rich and the second has a Scandinavian air about it. Very very nice.
29 / 29 / 2012
Really like this! I think black paired with the right colour can always look suitably spring like- love the green.
29 / 29 / 2012
Looking great with Black and Green Combination! It's really looking well furnished.
Loved this idea! Thanks for sharing such fresh ideas.
29 / 29 / 2012

I always love black, but here both rooms look very fresh + modern with the green xx
29 / 29 / 2012
ohhh i love black and green!! the black does really soften up the green and make it pop!
29 / 29 / 2012
absolutely!! You might have just inspired me to decorate my balcony this year with Kelly Green! I already have a black and white rug and grey geometric prints for seat cushions. Now may the the hunt for the perfect green fabrics begin!
29 / 29 / 2012
I like it. I love the kitchen!!
29 / 29 / 2012
that's a delightful green, like fresh basil and daffodil leaves.

I absolutely love this colour combo. It's definitely says “spring” to me.

Green and black is beautiful!
