I just can’t put my finger on it?
This is a common thought that happens after decorating or styling your home. Something is missing, you just don’t know what. Stop pondering, and put your finger on a pillow! Throw and decorative pillows make your furniture come alive with color, dimension, and style, giving your space a whole new look and inviting you and your guests to sit down, get comfy, and stay awhile. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the transformation I did and what you can do too with our Eastern Accents Bedding line available at Ambiance Design.
Boring & Blah
While this is a nice, white sofa, and probably comfy too, I know you will agree that it is kind-of boring and could use some pillows. However, with so many options of color, design, patterns, size, and shape, it can be a tad bit overwhelming as to how to tastefully decorate that “naked” white sofa in your family room.
Tasteful Tips for Decorative Pillows
Color:
Pick a color scheme that works well with your space, and stick to it. One color of multiple patterns and designs, or complimentary colors work well and look great!
Symmetry:
Symmetrical arrangement gives off a sense of belonging and avoids the busy, overcrowded look.
Variety:
While symmetry is good in colors and numbers, you DO want a little bit of variety in the shape and design. Within that color scheme, find complimentary patterns, solids, and simple designs. Solid colors are nice for that bold look and then that color can be pulled into the pillows with designs and patterns. Or, if you want to use contrasting colors for your variety, it is best to then stick with solid patterns.
Big to Small:
Keep the bigger pillows to the outside of the piece of furniture and work your way in with smaller ones to not overrule the space of the sofa. After all, pillows are supposed to be comfortable, not inconvenient!
Boring to Beautiful

Seasonal Décor
Overtime, you may want to change it up a bit in your home, giving your space a fresh, new look. One quick, easy, and cost effective way, is to switch out your throw pillows. The holidays are a great time to do this. Perhaps you’ve got your lights, trees, trains, and figurines, but something is still missing. Decorative pillows could be that final touch!
