Hi, I have a black bedroom - it was previously white and maroon - there is currently a maroon fabric headboard and a set of block out maroon curtains left over.
They are looking shabby and we are stuck with them until I can find some suitable black and white fabric which I cannot seem to find ANYWHERE!
I am going insane.
Our local fabric wholesalers have plenty of types of plain black fabric, I can also get silver, white with a black pattern (spots or floral *puke*) or simple black and white stripes.
All I desire is a simple geometric design BLACK background with white pattern. No flowers. Period.
There are some ready made fabrics (all they need is hemming) I can get plain black in this - is there any way I can add a pattern that suits???
I think this is risky, and I would hate to ruin hundreds of $$ worth of fabric if it doesn't work out.
Why not post a pic and then have tons of folks here, who may have a connection to interior design or fabric help you out? A description is impossible to help you search for without a visual.

Just a thought. Why not make your own.
You could take any quilt pattern and do it large scale in black and white solids. Old quilts are often very geometric. Or make up your own design.
Or you could do something simpler. Solid fabric in either black or white. Then overlay it with different width strips of contrasting fabric or cloth ribbon to make a pattern. Apply with iron on interfacing or fabric glue or sew them on. Or you could cut out circles or whatever shape appeals to you.
Yes, there are a good number of fabric choices for back and white geometric fabric on places like Fabric.com. Just pick up some Heat n Bond and you can make yourself no sew curtains.
I had black and white curtains made by a seamstress with fabric I found 5 years ago. They were predominately black with white, more of a stripe. I liked them at the time and got a ton of complements on them. But, alas, it's easy for me to grow tired with such a bold pattern all around me, especially in those colors... and then you can really change or update the rest of your room easily. So, I ditched them and started over. Learned my lesson though -- shouldn't have spent that kind of money bold curtains.
Some of these might fit the bill but you say you want predominately black with white so that is harder to come by.
