Advice on pillows for sofa in Living room

last year

Hello, I just brought this sofa from someone, and I only have stock picture. My living room is camel back by Sherwin Williams and trim is white. I'm having a hard time on colors for room. But saw this pillow at Dillard's and wasn't sure if it would work. If so, what other colors could I use with it. Any suggestions would be great!

Also, Any suggestions for an accent pillows to go with pillows on sofa. Just in case I decide to use.

Thank you, And if any one wants to send other suggestions on other pillows that would look great and were to buy. I would love to have that information.

Thank you,

Before picking cushions, consider your rug, art, wall color, etc.

Choose cushions that create more interest and enhance what colors you already have. Would be helpful to see your overall room, to provide more relevant ideas both color and style wise.

For instance, choosing based on room Vs couch alone.

Suggest layering vs one in each corner.

What rug is under the sofa?

That is a lot of gold in the room. You need to add some contrast and another color

That is not an interesting pillow from Dillards.

Select pillows that make a better graphic statement.

Very nice indeed! & if you plan on spending much time in the chair, I would position it to enjoy the nice view, just like the sofa. It is so neutral, I think just about anything will coordinate w/ it. Just sayin'...

Need advice on how to improve the living room - tv, sofa, furniture

Long console on the TV wall and TV siting on console. Lose the shutter as they are taking up real estate and breaking up the room; replace with cell shades or blinds, add stationary curtain panels. Center the sofa on the long wall and center the art work about 5 inches bottom of art from top of sofa back. Place your two chairs on either side of sofa on an angle so you can see tv from all seating areas. Buy two small cubes to act as ottoman/cocktail table area for extra seating and stuff. Add matching end tables and matching big lamps on each end of sofa and large piece of art over sofa; think Pier !, TJMaxx, etc. Post pictures. paint the room all one color for unity and to make it appear bigger. Here are some ideas of smaller compact sofas. And they seem to have room to add your two small chairs for extra seating.

I wish we could all sit down and have an intervention…not with you, Sherri, but with your husband. The obvious is not the furniture; it is the control. Your husband knows you hate the furniture, and yet, he will not agree on a compromise. Everyone makes concessions in a marriage. Neither has power of attorney. I don’t know the relationship he has had with his parents, although I could give a good guess. I do know that his first concern now and forever is you (as yours is for him). “Flat out” no’s have no place in a marriage. My wish for you is this is a one and only time. After reading all the wonderful replies you have received, you must realize no amount of tweaking will make you happy with that room. But, again it isn’t about the furniture, it is about the fact you are sad and discouraged with your husband’s refusal to make you happy. I sound like a therapist and I guess with 50 years of (great) marriage under my belt, I might qualify. I hope I haven’t offended…I just feel disappointed for you.

Etsy is a great place to get pillows. You can choose from all the designer fabrics in the world, and it's less expensive than having to buy yardage and get them made. Plus many shops put together combos for you if you want help mixing patterns. Then you can buy down or down alternative pillow forms off Amazon. I bet the Dillards pillows are stiff. Overstuffed squishy pillows (buy a filler one or two sizes bigger than your pillow case) feel more luxurious. Here are some of my favorite Etsy pillow shops.

I agree that Etsy is a great place to buy pillows, I have many times.

I like the Dillard’s pillows and think there are lots of good accent pillows you could pair with them. But it’s hard to make specific suggestions without knowing more — what decor style(s) you like, other furniture and textiles in the room, art, etc.

I have a tan painted living room with tan sofas and my largest primary pillows are in tans/browns, so very tone-on-tone which I like. I brought in color with other pillows, rugs, throws, art, and accessories.

Just need to know more about your room/style.

I’m having trouble editing today. Was trying to add this gorgeous room I’ve had saved a while — the wall color is Camelback. The tones in this room are so beautiful and elegant. Timeless.
