Weird trends

Ok so I was in the car dealership this morning waiting for my car to have its oil changed, and was flipping through last month's issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, looking for decorating ideas. Well I saw one that I instantly liked. The woodwork in this entryway was painted black, and the door itself was white but the raised parts in the middle were black. This looked really neat, and it said it was for any style, classic or modern. Made me realize we completely screwed up when we repainted the woodwork solid white!! Oh well, when I get my room redone this summer I just might incorporate that look on the windows, closet, built in shelves, and baseboard. I love that "outline" look! Maybe now I can find the right color for the walls to tie it all in. Gonna be hard with white, black, and navy, and red is out of the question! Yellow, possibly, but I'm not sure. Pink, maybe, but maybe not as I detest that color! Maybe I will just stick with white. Or I have another idea, maybe I could do that outline look in navy, to match the carpet. There's an idea! I think it would look really amazing, since the contemporary look seems to be a sort of "outline" around woodwork. I like that.
