Perhaps it is because I am young and male, but I absolutely dig black and white interiors. Combining black leather furniture with white walls and accented with ebony and ivory decor is my idea of the perfect condo look. The Fiat Lux Project has taken that style to an entirely new level as can be seen in the transformation of this Brussels home.
The idea of black painted walls usually makes most people cringe, and for good reason, but the Fiat Lux Project has managed to do it with adding elegance to the home, rather than taking it away. The walls were covered in oriented strand board, which when stained black, give the appearance of texture and depth. Quite a work or art.
