SOFA PILLOW STYLING
What tricks do designers do to make their sofas so fab and stylish? This post is about to show you how to style your sofa so it looks like the photos in the magazines.Pillows are a great way to add color and texture to make a big impact without much investment.
Styling your sofa is all about balance. You can achieve this by using 2 sets of matching cushions with an accent pillow in the middle.
When mixing prints keep the scale of the print in mind, balance big bold prints with smaller simpler prints.
This is the most commonly used pillow arrangement, easy to construct and neutral. Odd number pillows are almost always the most pleasing.
START WITH 2 LARGE PILLOWS
Start with 2 large square pillows, ideally 24" squares. They go at the ends of the sofa resting against the arms, these are the ANCHOR PILLOWS.
MORE PILLOWS
Add 2 matching pillows, smaller than the first , with some design or texture.
They can be 20" pillows in linen or embroidered design.
These are your DECORATIVE PILLOWS.
ADD AN INTERESTING CENTER PILLOW
This could be a long envelope pillow with buttons, or an interesting patterned cushion in a different color or shape.
This is your INTEREST PILLOW.
ADD A THROW
You can add a throw to create another layer of color and texture. The throw should compliment the pillow colors.
More than anything your decorative choices should be fun and reflect your style and personality, so don't be afraid to throw in something quirky or unpredictable.
