Decorative pillows provide a quick and simple way to add color and comfort to your living space. As you shop the furniture store, pay attention to size, texture, and the overall ambiance of the room. Here are some tips on how to select throw pillows for beds, chairs, and couches. 

How to Choose Decorative Pillows at a Furniture Store

1. Consider Colors

Decorative pillows make excellent accents in rooms that need a boost. Get a combination of solid colors and patterns that liven up the space. For a more subdued look in bedrooms, choose pillows in shades that are similar to that of your bedding and upholstery. 

2. Go for Comfort

Decorative pillows aren’t just for show. Softer fillings, such as feather and down, will provide comfort and lend them function. If you prefer a firmer feel, select pillows filled with foam or synthetic materials. 

3. Use Different Textures

Use different fabric textures to make your pillowscapes even more interesting. For example, you might pair silk and satin with fur, leather, and lace to achieve tactile variety. Think about the texture of your upholstery and bedding, too, to make sure your pillows won’t slide off your furniture. 

4. Create Pillowscapes 

As you put together your pillowscapes, place down larger pillows as a base. From there, build inward from each side, using bigger pillows at the edges and smaller ones toward the middle. Think about colors and patterns as you do this, making sure they blend harmoniously in the mix.
