Features of black and white sofas
Timeless elegance is characteristic of the black furniture. It allows you to add style to the interior and add an expressive accent. In its pure form, however, black paint can rarely be used in the interior, as it contributes to the appearance of gloomy and contradictory thoughts. The solution is to use the original black and white palette.

The contrast between black and white is fully consistent with the principles of traditional design... It will fit perfectly in a classic setting and in any traditional style. Much also depends on which color of the two will visually dominate. So, with a predominance of black color, the room will look deeper. Black color also goes well with any other tones, which will get rid of the pangs of choice.

But a sofa with a predominance of white tones will also differ in the same versatility. Wherein it is much better suited for a small room.
White furniture invariably adds light and airiness to the room. It looks visually lighter than products in dark colors.
You can put it in any part of the apartment or house, without fear of weighting the interior.

Varieties
Straight sofas should be characterized first of all - because they are true classics of interior design. This is not a common phrase, but a completely objective truth. Any manufacturer can offer such furniture. And the range of such models is impressive, so it's easy to choose the solution that suits you. Straight sofa can be a great place to sleep, especially if you choose a folding mechanism.

However, corner sofas are also popular. They can be safely used in large halls for receiving guests, and for yourself personally - in a small bedroom. This design allows you to form a voluminous berth and make a capacious box for storing things. Both straight and corner sofas can be modular.
This is a convenient modern solution that allows you to quickly rebuild furniture to your liking.

Stylish and fashionable look round sofas. They are recommended for high-tech style. But the problem is that it is impossible to put a round sofa tightly against the wall. There will definitely be empty corners.
This piece of furniture is more suitable for open space, where it is placed in the middle of the room.

The types of sofas can also be distinguished by the upholstery used. Most often used:
- natural leather (looks expensive, but can be easily torn);
- ecological leather (much stronger and no worse than natural looking);
- leatherette (it can imitate a variety of textures, but cannot be repaired);
- velor (gives a pleasant feeling and has a long pile).

The type of folding mechanism also plays an important role. "Book" (aka "click-gag") can be fixed in a lying, sitting or semi-sitting position. A container for folding linen is provided. This design will not take up much space. Some “book” sofas do not have armrests, which will surely appeal to lovers of spacious furniture.

In option "Eurobook" part of the seat is foreseen. The opened area is occupied by a stacked backrest. This type of furniture is very durable.
Eurobook is also appreciated for the fact that it allows you to have a large linen box.

If this box is not needed at all, you can choose the scheme "accordion". In small rooms where there is no way to retreat from the wall, a roll-out sofa is an attractive choice. The clamshell design implies the drowning of the berth in the back of the sofa. Despite its limited size, such models are perfect for use at any time of the day.

It is also worth thinking about choosing a scheme. "Dolphin" - in some cases it is not worse than the options just described.

Choice in the interior
A sofa in black and white looks expressive - that's a fact. But you have to take into account when choosing the main features of a particular interior. If the room is completely decorated in black and white, you need to select the furniture flawlessly.
All surfaces must be perfectly flat. Any sloppy line can ruin the whole thing.

An abundance of small contrasting details is unacceptable. All decoration solutions should be as large as possible. Attention should be paid to the texture of the black and white sofa. Elongated furniture will help to visually expand the problem wall. The appearance of the sofa should be discreet, but at the same time, the thought of respectability should be carried out in every possible way.

It is quite possible to use a black and white sofa in a children's room. But in this case, at least 70% of the surface should be white. The same should be done when choosing furniture for the Scandinavian style. Darker solutions are acceptable in the loft style. If you plan to put a black and white sofa in an ethnic style room, it should be covered with natural leather.

Beautiful examples
This is what a large black and white sofa looks like. This corner solution looks great on a glossy white floor combined with a black and white composition in the rest of the interior. A palm tree in a tub also fits quite well.The interior is generally balanced and well appointed.

The black and white sofa also looks great against a wooden floor. In this case, “white top, black bottom” looks logical and pleasant. But this does not mean that very dark interiors, where white is a secondary color, are bad.

The photo shows an excellent composition in the oriental spirit. It is fully matched by the "spotted" cover of the sofa.
