Monochrome...love it or hate it?

10:40:00







So I love  monochrome homes. I mean who doesn't love the look of a pristine white home and stylish black interior, and they are everywhere I seem to look, mainly on Instagram, and sometimes I'm so jealous of the beautiful spaces people create when just using black and white but at the same time I love the look of the shabby vintage so im torn. Right now i love the look of whites and wood and blacks with pops of colour! a little bit of everything!

But what I really hate the most about the monochrome homes plastered all over Instagram is the pressure and competition it seems to bring. Who has the whitest walls and the coolest black accessories! I see so many that I feel like when I finally have my home it's going to have to be black and white or it's just not going to be "insta friendly" . Let me add that this isn't a dig at anyone at all, but more at society. I mean I should aspire to more than the perfect black and white room right?! and it doesn't just stop at home envy! sometimes I find myself comparing my whole life to strangers on instagram and I shouldn't feel the need too!


I know I'm going to struggle decorating my place when it comes to it due to my love hate relationship with monochrome. but i think ill be going with the look below. its crisp and colourful and childish, in a good way. colour is great for children and it means you can make ugly toys kind of cool assessories! we're a young FAMILY and i think its important to create a space which we all enjoy! not one that is just "insta friendly".




but basically what im trying to say is, it would be good if the whole thing came off more as an inspirational and encouraging thing rather than whose got the best pad kinda thing.
