Contrast Our Corvus Enhanced Tiles

Black walls have been a hot trend in interior design for some time now, but lately I've been seeing a sort of twist on the look that I especially like: black walls with a white floor. Nothing livens up a room like contrast, and black + white is the ultimate contrast. Plus, the two elements balance each other out nicely: a white floor keeps a black-walled room from feeling too drab, and black walls keep a white floor from feeling too sterile. They're really a very nice match. Let's check out a few examples.

It was so perfect for them and their pup, they didn't know what to say.
