I am constantly looking for beautiful kids room inspiration and now more so than ever as with our house move I need to decorate Anya’s new room in the next few months.  The one colour scheme I keep coming back to is the sleek and minimal Scandinavian style black and white.  Apart form the stylish looks of a monochrome kids room, black and white is the perfect backdrop to allow a kids room to grow with them.  I don’t want to re-decorate every couple of years so with this colour scheme you can add colourful cushions, posters and toys to get your pops of colour – as much or as little colour as you want.  As the child grows, you only need to replace these decor items and you can give the same room a completely different, more grown up look without too much effort.  Would you go for black and white for a kids room or too stark for you?  Once you see these inspiring black and white kids rooms that I’ve found, you might just change your mind:

Even the smallest touches of colour can really pop in a black and white room like those tiny little toys on the shelf.

If not colour, natural tones compliment black and white spaces really well.  Replace the cute wall decor with more grown-up stuff and this could easily become a teenagers room or even I would move in!

If you think black and white is boring, then think again – this room is anything but.  It combines colour and natural tones to create a really playful and fun space.

Just add one bold and bright colour to the mix like this black and white kids room with yellow accents.  With black and white as the main colours of the room, no other colour is off limits so you can always choose your childs favourite colour of the moment.

If you can’t do without lots of colour, then this room shows just how much colour you can add to a black and white space. Lots of red, yellow, green and blue all work so well against the monochrome walls and furniture.

These are my current favourite black and white kids rooms that are inspiring me right now.  Use a little bit of colour or lots of it;  either way you can create quite a stunning space.  And each of these rooms would grow with your child just by changing the decorations.  So do you think you would go for black and white?
