Modern interiors are in the midst of a black-and-white renaissance, and Kourtney Kardashian’s entryway, designed by Jeff Andrews, perfectly captures why we've fallen head over heels for this aesthetic.
Designers are embracing a restrained palette not as a limitation but as a canvas for daring expression. Monochrome rooms are no longer just clean – they’re commanding, sophisticated, and unapologetically modern.
A scheme based on varying tones of one color, typically black, combined with plenty of white, is both smart and relaxing. The strict use of black and white (with just a few splashes of vibrant color) creates a sense of drama in this room, with the balance tipped in favor of white to keep the look light. However, with limitations on color, creative touches are needed to pull off this look.
The latest evolution of decorating with monochrome invites bold, art gallery-worthy objects to add a decorative flourish. Here, splashes of cobalt blue, emerald, and an abstract painting in predominantly primary colors command just the right amount of attention against the restrained backdrop.
It’s a delicate balance of serenity and surprise. Wall paneling, graceful staircases and architectural detailing create a calm, ordered foundation – a neutral gallery where each object is given space to shine.
This interior design trend reflects a broader cultural shift: a move away from predictable, cookie-cutter spaces towards homes with a distinct personality. In this space, timeless features sit happily alongside futuristic statements. This is not minimalism nor maximalism, but something more refined: a sense of control.
Kourtney Kardashian's entryway is thoughtfully edited, then brought to life with pieces that spark joy. The result is a form of loud luxury that feels alive – confident, contemporary, and beautifully monochrome, with every element earning its place.
