Celebrities are undeniable fashion and style icons, and this spills over into interior design as well. In fact in a recent survey done by the BBC, over half of people who were doing up their home, looked at what the rich and famous were doing in theirs first. In reality of course, most celebrities employ professional designers to consult on the hottest trends and rarely do the work themselves.

An interior designer to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars has told one newspaper that people wanting to create an impressive room can structure their design around a centerpiece, such as a piece of white bedroom furniture. Usually this is quite a large piece such as big white wardrobes, and it can afford to be as it is a neutral colour. The same cannot be said for other colours in the spectrum, which, when used on a grand scale tend to dominate a room and leave very little room for maneuver in terms of colour.

Kelly Wearstler told the Daily Mail that a big, bold centrepiece can provide inspiration and ideas for the rest of a room’s design, such as the bedside table or curtain design, and said that she loves the use of white and black to create contrast. She is not the only one to adopt the contrasting of black and white in design as many professionals in New York have been using this in clients homes for years.

She said “I have such fun playing around with whites and blacks as they can be fitted in to any design you think of. It’s the textures and materials that make it interesting.” She noted that a number of her clients have been amazed at just how much more they got from a once ‘nothing’ room, just by using simple contrasting black and whites.

Wearstler lastly commented that any room which looks untidy or messy, even when their is no clutter, really needs the colour scheme simplifying and more whites and blacks being injected into it. Its not a simple thing to get right, but if youre strict with the colors you use, you can pull off a very sleek look.
