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.
