I love this time of the year, when it is the time to start thinking about holiday decorating. We will be spending the holidays skiing at the Park City Mountain Resort in Utah this year, so I am in a hurry to get the holiday decorations in my home up even earlier than normal, so we can enjoy the holidays at home before our trip. I decided that today is the day to get started.

While I think tennis inspired home decorating is at it’s best when vintage style, I wanted to create a modern preppy style tennis inspired room. The bed and the bedding are available both for single and double players, so it is up to you to make this room for one or two. Also, this design is gender neutral, and would be perfect for siblings sharing a room.

One of the benefits of having a black and white room is that it’s easy to bring in other color.
When you have black and white “bones” in your room, bring in the “meat” with color! It’s easy to be trendy with this room design, just change the decorative pillows, maybe the add a new picture on the wall, and change the decorative pieces on the fireplace mantel or the bookshelf. See how you can create a black and white room that you can easily redecorate every season.
