There’s something quite sophisticated about the combination of black and white in these pillows. These gorgeous examples are just the thing for adding a chic, new look to your living room or bedroom.
There are plenty of styles including geometric, traditional prints like Greek Key, modern throw pillows, and even a few stunning options with some pink accents thrown in (probably my favorite of all).

Lines, stripes, and box prints look great on black and white pillows. The nice, clean lines work well in a room done in modern decor. Picture a simple, mod chic white sofa with these simple, but stately pillows. Black, square leather chairs with metal frames offset with the Classic Greek Key pattern and some black cube tables is intensely modern.
Designers and small shops have begun to use Amazon to sell their products when they might be too small to garner the attention they’d like or are just launching their business. There’s a wonderful collection of amazing black and white designer pillows available from these shops.

Finding the best selection
Alright, fellow black and white pillow enthusiasts, fess up. You have a choice of all these brilliant colored pillows to pick from, but nothing stands out for you as much as the combination of angelic white with the darkest black. I’m the same way with clothes. I leave the house with a set of colors in mind and I come home with black pants, white blouses, and black shoes. I can’t help it. I love the shiny brightness of white and it looks so much more smashing against the darkest black. I know, technically black isn’t a color – some would say white isn’t a color – but for the purpose of pillows, they’re all the color we want.
Black and White Interior Decorating Ideas
From walls to textiles
I have always had trouble falling asleep. My brain just won’t turn off and let me rest. As a working mom, there’s always so much to do and so many things running through my head. I’ve learned to play a few games that eventually let me drift off because they distract me from being stressed or using that time with my eyes pressed shut to create more work for myself. One game is to go through the alphabet naming animals, plants, street names, movies or cities in order. I usually fall asleep around the letter “G”.
What does this have to do with decorating? Well, the other game I play is to redecorate a room in my house from top to bottom in my mind. I always start with the living room and I always pick either a black sofa or a white sofa and have since I was fourteen years old. On top of that, I add black and white throw pillows and the room grows from there. My husband doesn’t know it yet, but when my three boys are fully grown and have left the house, I’m redecorating in all black and white.
This little video will give you some quick ideas for carrying out a black and white theme in your own home.

Mostly Black or Mostly White?
Throw pillows require regular care but a black and white pillow may need some extra attention – especially if it is more white than black. White fabric picks up everything, including dust, and will eventually show a tinge of yellow or gray if not cleaned frequently. Follow the care instructions on your pillow, air them out in a mesh bag outside to freshen them up, and make sure to vacuum them at least monthly if they sit an unused room.
