I’ve got a serious crush on Lloyd Ralph Designs.
Thier work is crisp, clean, and oh so beautiful!

And do you notice a theme?
Lovely hints of black and white, so chic!
I thought it would be fun to feature some of my favorite affordable black and white items.
Believe it or not, they are all from Ikea, love that place.
You really can’t go wrong with black and white.
Do you incorporate a little black and white in your interiors?
LOVE black and white! I have that striped throw and I’m getting ready to diy a similar version of that rug- funny!
I’ve had my eye on that rug for FOREVER, love it!

Thanks for introducing me to Lloyd Ralph Designs; I even found inspiration for my home in their commercial portfolio on their website! I’m currently working on our dining room and black & white is a strong and repeated element I’m using. Right now I have some DIY zebra ideas based on the first photo you shared 🙂

Love Lloyd Ralphs! Huge fan! What a great post!
Too much white for me. Needs a color pop!
I too love color but I also get excited about crisp white interiors!
Actually Lloyd Ralphs is not a MAN but two women, Michelle Llyod and Christine Ralphs, both are Canadian designers! LOVE their designs, especially since I am a bit obsessed with black and white!
Ahh, oops! I corrected my little mishap! They are sure are talented ladies 🙂
I love his designs and black and white is a favorite of mine. Loving the living room!!

Thanks so much. My home is filled with pieces from Ikea. One day I would love to upgrade but they work perfect for now 🙂
yes, I love black and white! my kitchen in my previous house was b&w, now I just need to get my current kitchen the same ;o)
I love that dining room! The black and white paired with those beautiful wood chairs- gorgeous.
That mirror is gorgeous!

Agreed, too bad Ikea doesn’t have one of those!
I don’t incorporate it in my home, but I do in my wardrobe! I noticed I have a lot of black and white and wondered since I love it so much, I would love to do a whole room or house that way!! And IKEA rocks…;-0
oh dining room (…those chairs!)
I’m a big fan of black and white. I have black and white with pops of color in my guest room and basement. I’ve had my eye on that IKEA throw for a while now. Love it!
Hey Danielle,
In the second picture – what would you call those lamps that have the three legs as a base??
Julie- Those would be called tripod floor lamps. They can be pretty spend but Target actually has some look-a-likes for a great price!
First interior looks very beautiful. Louis Ghost chair looks amazing in every interior 🙂
I was at IKEA the other day and saw that black and white pillow – it’s great and I almost bought it. Instead, I bought a black and white throw. I think it was $12 and also great – it’s sitting over our bench in our dining room. The best part is that the way that it is knit you have two different looks on each side. One side reminds me of the pillow and the other side looks more like polka dots. I’m so happy because we really needed some black and white in our house and it was super affordable!
I have been looking for that rug at IKEA, but can it really be found? It seems to be out of stock everywhere. If anybody has seen it at her local IKEA, please let me know!
