Black and white decor and a yellow couch


The safest way to style a yellow couch is with black and white. Black and white throw pillows pair so well with the yellow color. A black and white rug is an ideal background for this couch. And, a wallpaper with this monochromatic combination can create a dramatic decor style. So, if we choose this palette, there are several ways to introduce it to our living room.
