Why are black, white and gray decorations so popular? Will black, white and gray decorations never go out of style?

We all know that decoration is a complicated matter, and there are many things to pay attention to, especially the color matching. In recent years, many people choose black, white and gray when decorating their houses. So why are black, white and gray so popular? Let's take a closer look!

Why is black, white and gray decoration so popular?

Black, white and gray decoration has been popular in recent years, mainly due to the following reasons:

The variety of decoration styles has caused visual aesthetic fatigue

I remember that luxurious styles were particularly popular in decoration in the past few years. People wanted to directly cover the house with gold during decoration. Although the metaphor is relatively exaggerated, it is also a fact. The previous neoclassical style, European style, French style, etc. made people feel that the decoration was strange and luxurious, and the decoration style and furniture selection were all the same. Not only did the decoration cost money, but the visual aesthetic fatigue also increased after living in it for a long time. People who decorate their houses are less and less fond of complicated styles.

People's lives are stressful and they want to go home and relax.

Although people nowadays have better economic conditions, their spiritual needs are gradually being unmet. After returning home after a day of work, people prefer to rest in the most comfortable state rather than being nervous when they get home. Therefore, when choosing a decoration style, people increasingly feel that the simpler and more generous the home is, the better, and they are less and less fond of cumbersome decorations. Black, white and gray are colorless and can give people visual experience and spiritual relaxation.

Young people like black, white and gray

Now people born in the 1990s have started to buy houses and get married. Their personalities are relatively accepting. They want their homes to be simple and cool, and they don’t like too many decorations. They are more of a enjoyment-oriented clientele, and the black, white and grey tones are more in line with the aesthetics of young people.

Decoration styles and international lifestyles influence each other

There are a lot of foreign design websites, most of which are now more popular with minimalist style. Although it is minimalist, it is not crude. In a minimalist space with only black, white and gray, it can give people a spiritual baptism and make people relax instantly. It is deeply loved by young people.

In summary, I have interpreted why black, white and gray decoration has become more and more popular in recent years from the aspects of visual aesthetic fatigue of decoration style, people's high pressure in life and need to relax, young people's acceptance and preference for black, white and gray tones, internationalization of decoration, and mutual influence of lifestyles.

Will black, white and gray decoration become outdated?

They are generally classic and will never go out of style.

First of all, the black, white and gray decoration style gives people a feeling of tranquility and Zen. In this impetuous and noisy city, more and more people want to keep the last piece of pure land for themselves.

Secondly, the combination of black, white and gray is a classic that will never fade in decoration combinations.

Black is the sum of all pigment colors, white is the sum of all light colors, and gray is the intermediate color between black and white.

Black, white and grey are related to all colors and belong to the same series when combined together, so you will feel comfortable no matter how you combine them.

There are two main categories of colors, one is achromatic colors, the other is chromatic colors. Black and white and gray, which are a combination of black and white, are collectively referred to as achromatic colors. Black, white and gray do not have strong brightness and hue, and can be matched with a variety of colors to create a simple and elegant picture. Based on this, black, white and gray are also called all-match colors.

The purity and elegance of white, the sophistication and elegance of black, and the aloofness and sophistication of gray can be used alone as the background of the interior space, or can be perfectly integrated with any other color to create the soft and beautiful look in the owner's mind. Who doesn't like such a color scheme?

Before interior decoration, the homeowner and the designer will discuss the home style together. The cold Nordic style, the minimalist Japanese style, the elegant American style, the new Chinese style that combines tradition and modernity, each home style has black, white and gray, which are widely used and not abrupt, and can create a warm living environment.

Use of black, white and gray

1. Wall and ceiling

There are many ways to display black, white and gray in interior spaces. For example, the common walls are mainly white, creating a blank space and leaving more room for people's imagination.

If you feel that white is too monotonous, you can use gray walls. The light gray color brings a sense of alienation and high-end atmosphere that makes people deeply fascinated and unable to control themselves.

Black walls are less common and are mostly used as interior background walls. The elegance of black can be felt without any additional explanation.

2. Ground

If the floor is tiled, the color of the tile is mostly white, which is a versatile color that is not easy to make mistakes, but white is easy to accumulate dust. So gray replaces white, improving the dirt-resistant properties of white and giving the interior space a novel style.

Black floors are often seen in bathrooms, with white tiles all around and black hexagonal tiles on the floor. The combination of black and white is simple yet capable, getting rid of the vulgarity and ordinariness of the bathroom, and making this small space quite artistic.

3. Home

In addition to walls, floors and ceilings, most large homes also use black, white and gray. For example, sofas in the living room are often matched with white and gray; kitchen cabinets are mostly white; bedroom wardrobes have black and white to choose from, and beds are mostly white; bathroom bathrooms are often white...

In addition to large furniture, there are also some small accessories that are also available in black, white and gray. Common small furniture includes dining chairs, which are in black and other colors, or coffee tables, bedside tables, toilets, decorative painting frames, TVs, dining tables, entrance shoe cabinets, etc. in black and white.

The widespread use of black, white and gray means that people like their versatile, simple and elegant features. This is related to the fast-paced and stressful life nowadays. People are increasingly fond of simple and pure items rather than fancy and complicated designs. Simplicity without losing the sense of design is the greatest expectation of residents for their homes.
