Help me perfect our throw pillows - curved sofa
Comments (84)UPDATE I just received this Fornasetti pillow from Etsy -- it's an outdoor pillow and I intended for use on our deck. However, I kind of like it in my office. What do you think? Perhaps it can live here during the off season....See MoreThrow Pillows - Buying the correct size pillow covers to match an exis
Comments (2)The way it works is that the cover you're buying will fit a 20" x 20" insert. So they give you the size of the insert, not the cover, per se....See MorePillows and throw grouping
Comments (3)you have a lot of white. You need some contrast. Try something on that large wall over by the dining table. Art, shelving, a tall plant in the corner, if you have room for a buffet, even better. I'd also do a diff type of light, lowered. the current one is too high and just disappears into the white background. The sofa, try a mixture of colors/patterns, and a darker throw. Here, let me show you what I mean See? much better. I added art, a vase w/twigs, an ORB and gold chandelier(lowered. should be 30-36" from the table) diff pillows, and throws. I can't see the rest of the room, so this is all I got! Personally, I'd paint your walls. or at least one of them, this killer black or charcoal color. I love this one too. Look at the sofa color like yours, and all of the accessories around it. if you like the white and bright, that's fine too. but bring in some art, some pattern, some design elements. this one has white curtains like yours. but they have some interest w/the tall plant, the diff pillows and the long shelf w/framed art displayed. (go for like subjects and frame styles if you do this)...See MoreNeed throw pillow help for my white sofas!
Comments (107)@blfenton made the suggestion to add a touch of violet with the pillows. With your orange and green, she is headed to a triadic color scheme and one of my favorites. Just in case you wondered if there was any basis to the suggestion. Currently you seem to have an analogous color scheme with orange, gold, and green. Generic, this is a beautiful room, you have great taste, so I'm sure you find the perfect pillows....See More

6 years agoIf your sofa is yellow, you probably don't want yellow pillows. If your sofa is gray, perhaps you would like a pop of yellow on the sofa. And if your idea is to hang that nice grouping of art OVER the sofa, then you probably don't want prints on your throw pillows (or at least, prints of the same scale/designs). I would focus on a couple of pillows that are simpler, but have great texture, such a velvet with some sheen to it, and a solid pillow with tassels. Maybe white, or black would be nice.
As for across the room over the TV, (you said "behind the tv", which sounds unusual, so not sure what that means), but if you have a wall like this with smaller grouped art, then I would choose something large for the opposite wall. Maybe a black and white or one of those liquid acrylic pour paintings, in your palette, like this:
Or, it might be better to go in a different direction than just the "modern" vibe of abstracts/patterns and go with something else. I came up with this, since it reminds me of a painting my SIL did.
You see how wildly different these are, and may not be right in your space. You haven't shown us your space, so don't know how "tight" your palette is, or whether your design style is more modern, or what. Are you a college student, or parent with a houseful of kids?
