How to Outfit your Couch with Pillows that Match your Design Style

Have you ever noticed that pillows on a couch are like the icing on a cake, and if they aren’t perfect the couch looks odd? While many people don’t think much about throw or decorative pillows, they accessorize your couch and make it look complete.  Depending on your individual design style, or style of couch, choosing pillows can be a challenge. Here are tips to outfit your sofa with pillows that match your design style and ensure a well-put together seating area.




 Accent pillows are a beautiful way to add a statement without saying a thing. For dark colored couches and sumptuous fabrics, consider the less-is-more approach and pick a few dramatic pillows with a bold pattern, subtle details, or an eye-popping complimentary color to the couch. If you’re looking for a wow factor, pair up colors that are opposite of each other to draw the eye to the couch immediately.





For some homes, the couch is the main act of the room and it doesn’t want to compete with any other piece of furniture. If you have an awe-inspiring couch that doesn’t need competition, consider using understated pillows that will add comfort, but will blend into the couch and it’s surroundings. Remember, your style of your room is up to you, decide what role you want your couch to play, and then have your pillows follow suit.
