Decorative Sofa Pillows

by Giorgina Devereaux

Decorative sofa pillows are an inexpensive way to bring an instant touch of elegance and exceptional design to your sofa. 

Not only that, but decorative sofa pillows add warmth, color, personality, and interest to a sofa while helping unify the rest of the colors in the room. 
 

There is something enchanting about a sofa that is adorned with decorative pillows.

The combination of colors and beauty are an invitation for comfort and give a luxurious feel to the furniture piece.  

Who knows, the decorative pillows may even entice you to relax and snuggle up for a rest.   
 

If your goal is to welcome the outdoors inside, consider choosing from botanical and floral print decorative sofa pillows and combine them with textured fabrics for a nice balance. 

Also, do not hesitate to use designs that are bold, such as, circles and stripes, or colors that are black and white.

Tips on How to Arrange Decorative Pillows on a Sofa

Consider combining decorative sofa pillows in an assortment of fabrics, including floral, stripes, paisley, prints, and solids. 

To achieve a layered appearance and incorporate more color, combine different fabrics, shapes, and sizes. 

By blending small patterns with large prints as well as mixing a few small pillows with larger ones, you will not only bring interest to the sofa, but to the whole room.  For contrast, place a solid colored pillow on a patterned sofa. 

Arrange the decorative sofa pillows in groups of odd numbers, such as, three or five, instead of in traditional pairs.
