To complement the simplicity of these designs, a variety of accent pieces are used, ranging from glass and metallic inserts to brightly colored borders and listellos. By combining black-and-white, in many different shapes and textures, with brightly colored accents and inserts, an endless variety of bold, modern designs are possible. Outstanding examples of the new black-and-white design aesthetic included Roca's new Millenium line and Saloni's A+A line.
In addition to bright red, other shades of red, including reddish browns, are enjoying resurgent popularity. Other popular colors included chocolate brown, orange and shades of gray.
