We’ve listed some ways to help you decorate with throw pillows like a pro in no time.

1. Pick an Anchor Color

When decorating, we usually have a color in mind where we based the color of our furniture.

Keep things more exciting by adding a new color to the palette like this Midnight Moroccan Pillow Cover. The blue details contrast with the anchor color but at the same time, it accentuates the color pattern of the room.

 

2. Mix and Match Prints

Make the space look attractive by mixing different styles and patterned pillows into the room. It is a great way to keep the eye engage and elevate the intrigue of the style. For example, these Wilderness Pillow covers have a graphic neutral design that balances the color while the yellow and green graphic pillows add a pop of color. The floral print beige pillow ties in most of the colors in the room. 

You can have fun experimenting with different patterns and textures to bring an aesthetic to the room. Just remember that, when choosing the pillows, it should bring out the element in the room. It should either match the accent color, the texture of the carpet, the pattern of the furniture, or it can shine on its own with its interesting design.

Varying pillow sizes create a fun look to the room while pillows with different shapes add a pop of interest and are totally eye-catching. Place the large pillows towards the end of the sofa to create a backdrop then move inward by adding smaller pillows and rectangle pillows in the middle to maximize the space.
