Pillows not only bring comfort when used but are also an important decorative accessory that creates beauty for the sofa set.

When designing furniture, soft furniture plays a particularly important role in beautifying the house. In which, decorative pillows or pillows are delicate accessories that help bring vitality and attraction to the reception area.

With just a few small changes in the color and material combination of pillows, you can easily refresh the entire living room space.

Combine pillows with different sizes

Choosing a suitable pillow starts from the size. For a standard sofa, a square pillow size of about 50x50 cm is a suitable choice, while a low-back sofa will be suitable for a pillow of about 45x45 cm.

You should place pillows of similar size at both ends of the chair, then arrange the remaining pillows in order of size. Place another backrest or small square pillow in the middle to create balance for the layout.

For corner sofas, the largest pillow should be prioritized to be placed right in the corner.

Building a harmonious color palette

If you own a neutral-colored sofa, you can create highlights and visual vibe with colorful patterned pillow designs. Conversely, keeping the color palette in harmony with the same tone is also a sophisticated choice.

For example, a beige sofa will become more prominent when combined with pillows in neutral tones such as beige, yellow, brown or black.
