Black, White and Yellow

The design aesthetic of black, white and yellow is really starting to grow on me.  What I can I say, it's crisp, clean, it's still pretty.  It's not too feminine, not too masculine.  I can see why so many designers go with this color scheme.

....and everyone knows that Kelly Wearstler is just awesome. Certainly, some of her designs can go a little over the top but this design is refined, suubdued and boutique-y.

I am loving this spooky Bugs Bunny-type sculpture. And I love that both sculptures have the appearance of a silhouette and that they're not imposing on this space.

How do you decorate with color?

There are many ways to decorate with color. Some may use little accents of color throughout a neutral color scheme:

Others may go bold and use one color off which the rest of the rest of their interior design scheme is anchored:Not sure...

And then some others find ways to decorate entirely in a neutral color schemes using only white, gray or black:
