If you're like us, you've already binged Victoria Beckham, the new Netflix docuseries that details the former Spice Girl's life and career as she prepares for Paris Fashion Week. Toggling between her workspaces and her home, it's an intimate glimpse at the pop star and fashion designer's inner world.

This being Homes & Gardens, we were taking note of the interiors while watching, and one of the standouts has to be Victoria and David's monochrome kitchen.

Design experts say that one of the main benefits of introducing a black-and-white color scheme to a kitchen is its indisputable versatility.

'A black-and-white kitchen is a masterclass in timeless design, always sophisticated, effortlessly adaptable, and forever stylish,' explains designer Nina Lichtenstein. 'Whether your style leans modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, this classic duo offers a foundation that can evolve with your taste while maintaining an undeniably chic presence.'

However, to avoid a black and white kitchen looking too flat, it is important to introduce some variations in textures and patterns to maintain visual interest.

'Monochrome doesn’t have to mean monotonous,' Nina tells us. 'Graphic elements like checkerboard floors, herringbone backsplashes, or veined marble counters can add movement and visual intrigue while maintaining the black-and-white theme.'

We can see that Victoria and David have mixed marble with matte for a dynamic combination. Alternatively, Nina suggests introducing metallics for a contemporary and elevated twist on the classic, monochromatic kitchen.

'Brass or chrome hardware, mirrored surfaces, or smoky glass pendants add a feeling of luxury while keeping the space bright and airy,' she says. 'A black-and-white kitchen with reflective surfaces balances drama with a light, open feel.'

Try using black and white accessories, like mugs (available at Hudson Grace) or bowls (at Etsy), for extra pops of these opposing shades.
