Any designer will tell you that finding the right mix of decorative throw pillows for sofas, chairs and beds is a pain in the neck but well worth achieving. Decorative pillows make a room more cohesive, interesting and comfortable. The challenge is that there are a lot of details to consider-colour, pattern, texture, trim and so many designers end up custom-making every bolster, lumbar and square pillow, which is not only time-consuming but also too expensive for most of us.

Below are 3 tings to consider when designing with throw pillows

Don’t Match The Throw Pillows With Your Sofa

Throw pillows are meant to be decorative accents. If they simply blend into the upholstery of your sofa, then they might as well not be there at all. Therefore it is very important that you select fabrics that contrast or highlight the elements of the sofa. You can incorporate the colour of the sofa in the throw pillow or match the colour of the throw pillow to other items in the room such as furniture or table.

Use Your Throw Pillows To Bring The Elements Of The Room Together

Your room’s decor should tell a story and in a great way make sure that all of the elements in the room have a beginning and an end when combined is to use the throw pillows to highly colours that are underrepresented in the room. This idea works well if you already have a lot of colour in the room. You can use the throw pillows to highlight the drapes or maybe those brass candlesticks that you have sitting on a table. The options are endless. So pick a colour and get creative. If you are working with a more neutral or monochromatic colour scheme, you can use the throw pillows instead of adding more colour. This will make the throw pillows visually enticing without turning them into an eyesore.

Avoid Repetition

A common mistake of decorating with throw pillows is to repeat a colour pattern that is already present in the room. This is a big mistake because your room design will look amateurish. Instead, if you aren’t sure what to do, take an element from the room such as a single colour and find a pillow design that has that single element but with a completely different take on it such as a different pattern. This way you can avoid ending up with a room that has obviously matching elements and look staged.
