White walls are the most natural contrast for black furniture

Sometimes, obvious solutions are the best ones. Any black furniture looks amazing in combination with white walls. The arrangement is great both for small and large rooms, perfectly balancing two of the most traditional decoration colours and creating an impressive contrast that is not easy to forget. To make the room even more contrasting, you can paint one of the walls into a different colour — anything from toxic orange to deep blue will look great in a black and white colour palette.

Grey cushions are a classy, logical addition to black sofa upholstery

Cushions are some of the most important accessories for a black sofa. They, too, have what it takes to diversify living room colour scheme. A very dignified and calm blend of black sofa upholstery and grey cushions is perfect for traditional rooms and modern minimalistic interiors.

Brighter accessories can spruce the picture up

On the other hand, bright cushions (as well as other bright accessories) will make the room look bright and time relevant. A couple of small red cushions on a spacious black sofa will act as a stylish contrast. The arrangement will catch the eye without looking aggressive. If you do not like red, you can go with any other cushion colour you have in mind — green, yellow, violet — anything looks good with black.

Mix match is a fresh decoration approach

Even though the idea behind mix match approach is not new, the solution has not lost its freshness. The best mix match example for a living room is contrasting black and white furniture. For example, a white coffee table looks very impressive next to a black sofa. Taupe and light beige are also impressive ideas.

Golden accessories look warmer than silver ones

Silver chrome accessories have been the dominant ones for quite a while. Everything, from sofa legs to furniture and door handles, has been made of silvery chrome or steel. As of today, the tendency is shifting towards golden hues, which also look impressive with the most popular interior decoration colours. In fact, golden accessories give living room a cosier, homier look.

High gloss is a perfect fit for leather furniture

When it comes to matching furniture materials, black leather sofa will look most impressive in the combination with white or taupe high gloss units. This decoration solution will give a room a fresh and modern look. Tempered glass, too, has what it takes to achieve the same effect and make the room sparkly and bright.
