Black and white really call for an accent colour - yellow or red or whatever your fancy.
In Kelly Wearstler's living room the designer has used an interesting green, which really pops against the black and white. How great are the 30s-era black French commodes and the oversized busts? Of course, the entire effect is enhansed by the buckets of light from the doors and the to-die-for architectural detail.
