When I attended Maria Killam’s True Color workshop she spoke in depth about the gray trend being at the end of its ten-year lifecycle and black making an appearance. I absolutely LOVE black (which shows in my wardrobe) so I personally have embraced this trend.
This post is all about modern black and white pillows that’ll level up your living room. Aside from paint changing your pillows is a great way to update the vibe of your room. The key thing to remember when selecting pillows is to mix patterns, textures, and colors. There are a few tricks and tips to make your black decorative pillows look expensive.

The banded pillows shown are custom made but you can find similar ones from Little Design Co.
The abstract pillows are made using the fabric of one of my favorite designers Kelly Wearstler.
If you only have to store the throw covers you will save on space which is great for those with limited storage options. My favorites at the moment are Coterie, Woven Nook, The Citizenry, Little Design Co, and Anthropologie.
Rather than just adding a solid flat pillow to your space add one with texture and interest. The textured modern lines pattern design will also add major comfort since it’s made of Turkish silk threads. If Boho is more your vibe the Moroccan hand-loomed pillow cover will look awesome.
