Plus, black couches go with practically any style.
A few graphic accent pillows and a patterned accent table help draw the black and white together.

It’s moody, once again showing that the black and cognac leather combo is warm and inviting.
The result is an old school, glamorous look.

However, bold palm leaf pillows keep it feeling fresh.
Instead, layers of monochromatic black and white elements play off of each other to keep your eye moving.

It has white cushions, making the contrast feel intentional and sleek.

Modern elements like the metal coffee table and arc lamp add to the look.
A natural wood coffee table and wood sculptural element also add to the organic feel.
The blue chair rail molding gives it a softer look.
