Black & White Pillows

How to choose black and white pillows for couch styling

Begin with placement and scale. The 16 x 24 inches (40 x 60 cm) long rectangle suits the middle of a sofa, an armchair or a bench, and can sit in front of sleeping pillows on a bed. Choose 20 x 20 inches (50 x 50 cm) for the corners of a standard sofa or sectional.

For a smaller seat or a layered arrangement, 16 x 16 inches (40 x 40 cm) fits armchairs, accent chairs and benches, or the front row of a sofa. Black and white keep the palette consistent as pattern changes. Ikat, geometric and abstract designs are common, so pair distinct motifs when the room calls for a more eclectic composition, or repeat one pattern for a quieter rhythm.
