That's why the profession of interior decorator exists.

One of the online places sells matching pieces. Also, catalogs like Pottery Barn style the photos to be pleasing to the eye. Usually they sell all the components.

Good luck!

no, you can handle this! you only want your rug, pillows, tables, lights and curtains too match. your art does not need to go with anything you just need to love it. generally, i pick the sofa color when helping, then the rug, then the matching pillows and curtains. curtains are generally solid or white. rugs are a different size pattern. then you have your pillows.

white turquoise and gray?

I always find a rug first, then pull colors from that for sofa, pillows, drapes etc.. As you suggested, Pottery Barn can be a one stop shop. They stock pillows that coordinate with the rugs they sell and you can select colors for upholstered pieces that also coordinate back to the rugs. At the store they also display their furniture in front of walls with selected Sherwin Williams paint. If you like Pottery Barn styles it's dead simple. I think they also offer free consultations in your home. It might be worth checking.

viva la differance! how about etsy or even less expensive - amzon for your pillows.

I like the pillows you posted second from the top. Thank you

I would like a seafoam, gray, and tan/cream color scheme. Is it okay to include both gray and tan together with this seafoam color?

Not sure what that last fabric you posted is, but it's beautiful.

Here are a few idea boards. Note that between the pillow, the rug, and the art, this is about all the filigree pattern one room can stand.

Any big store that sells furnishings will have catalogs that will show interiors full of their decor etc, displaying different options in a pleasing way, and giving you all sorts of clues of what goes with what. Whether it's Ballard Designs, Pottery Barn, CB2, West Elm, Anthropologie..you name it.

The main problem with it-you don't want your room to look like a catalog one..:) The companies show their products. Your house should show you..which is much more interesting and complicated.

So take clues from the pics, and then hunt stuff, partially, elsewhere. And especially look everywhere for art that touches you deeply. Look at it like a book..since that what art does-it makes us feel and think things, it transports us, it can even change us...would you match a book exactly to your decor? no, right?

(tan and grey look great together. lots of beaches are a bit tan, grey, and a lot of seafoam..))

seafoam, that is a grayed out form of turquoise? the tan is difficult to find combined with the others. did you like the rug that went with pillows above. although that is not true seafoam. how about this rug?

Hello! I am trying to figure out what types of throw pillows to incorporate into my new living room. It's a one bedroom apartment so the kitchen and living room are attached. We have a light grey accent wall, with all the others off white. The kitchen table chairs are a very soft light blue, couch is a cream/ivory, and we just purchased the rug shown. I would love to stick within the blue, grey, whites color scheme. Could you provide some suggestions of what color throw pillows would look best?

sure april, but even though it is not used anymore, you should not use someone elses thread. if you houzzmail me, i will be happy to help, i already have a couple ideas.
