Sofa shopping can be intimidating. Choosing style details can be overwhelming, but comparing quality can be even more so since upholstery has a whole set of its own vocabulary, and the quality levels vary from store to store and even within a store or brand. Largely, price is an indication of quality level, but not entirely...there is some murky territory in the middle where many popular brands mix a few quality elements in with cheaper materials or construction so they may sound higher quality than they really are. Upholstered furniture can be found at pretty much any price point, so how do you determine how much to spend? The answer to that question depends on a number of factors…
When gorgeous throw pillows are everything!!! • Home by Cole West Home, Designer Olivia at Salt Box Collective
I love throw pillows because with them comes endless possibilities for your home. Changing up your throw pillows can completely transform your space with minimal effort and it doesn’t get much better than that. The right combination of pillows can elevate a space and help it feel more cozy and inviting. Though, for some of us, finding the right combo doesn’t come as easy. It takes a bit of practice with trial and error. If you feel intimidated by mixing and matching throw pillows around your home this easy formula is for you. The Rule Of Three: How To Decorate With Throw Pillows Image source: @cloe.thomson One of the most common, and sometimes unspoken, rules in design is the rule of thirds and it applies to a lot more elements in a room than you may think, including throw pillows. I like to think of design rules as more of ‘guidelines’. Some are meant to be bent and broken. Oftentimes, the best spaces come together when design rules are pushed. However, if you want to decorate your space like a pro, the basic rules, like this one, should be the foundation of your space. Image source: @cloe.thomson Cloe from @cloe.thomson has an amazing knack for mixing and matching throw pillows throughout her home. The Formula Odd numbers are generally more pleasing to the eye. Using 3 or 5 thoughtfully collected pillows on your bed will look more put together than just 2 or 4 matchy pillows. That doesn’t mean this is the only way (remember rules are meant to be broken), but an odd number of assorted pillows is a good place to start. The formula below is how I apply the rule of thirds to throw pillows when putting together a space. You can use it like a cheat sheet: 1 solid textured pillow 1 large scale (simple) pattern 1 small scale (complex) pattern If you are using more than three pillows, I suggest adding in more solid textured pillows and maybe repeating your large scale pattern. Image source: @paintandpeony Alana, @paintandpeony, shows the perfect way to apply this formula to your home. Mixing Pillow Colors Before you start working on the formula I shared above, it is really helpful to pick a color palette. Think about the colors that are already in the area. Try to pull in colors and tones that compliment your living room rug or artwork etc. When creating pillow combinations try to aim for: One neutral color A main color An accent color Remember that it is okay to have a muted palette, but pillows are a fun place to add an unexpected pop of color. Image source: @sherylsandersdesigns Sheryl from @sherylsandersdesigns shows how to use a color scheme in her bedroom. Notice how she pulls her pillow colors from the décor around her bed. Mixing Pillow Textures When in doubt, always go for texture! I absolutely love to mix textures. Color and pattern are important, but texture is what brings everything to life. Even the most neutral color scheme can be interesting when you mix different materials. Image source: @modernly_you Ashley from @modernly_you does an amazing job at mixing neutral texture in her bedroom. This combo makes her bed look so inviting. Some examples of different pillow textures you can mix are: Linen Mudcloth Velvet Corduroy Wool Kilim Embroidered Faux leather Faux fur Macramé Poms Tassels There is no right or wrong way to mix textures, but something great to keep in mind is that lighter fabrics read more spring/summer and heavier, warmer fabrics read more fall/winter if you’re taking seasons into consideration. Mixing Pillow Patterns Pattern can be the most intimidating element when people mix and match throw pillows. It sometimes takes a bit of practice to learn your style, but once you understand mixing patterns, you’ll realize how much more put together your space looks vs. when everything “matches”. Complex PatternsComplex patterns have more detail and are often (not always) smaller in scale. Simple PatternsSimple patterns have less detail and are usually larger in scale. Think more abstract or geometric. Image source: @nestingwithgrace Brooke from @nestingwithgrace is known for her cozy style and ability to mix and match patterns within her home. The cushions on her living room couch are a prime example Using Both Simple and Complex PatternsThe reason you want to mix and match both types of patterns is so that your patterns do not compete with each other. A good example of this would be a simple stripe patterned throw pillow mixed with a complex floral pattern throw pillow, like the image below. Florals tend to be busy, and your eyes usually jump straight to them. If you had another busy pattern your eyes wouldn’t know where to look first. Pairing it with a simple pattern allows your eyes to take in the details of the floral print and then move on, creating flow.. Shop these pillows: Laurel and Blush Where To Find Mix And Match Throw Pillows Not sure where to search for pillows? There are many great places to shop for throw pillows. But first, I want to let you in on a secret. Purchasing a pillow cover is better than purchasing a full pillow. Storing covers only will save you a ton of space, making it the easy way to change pillows when you feel like it. If you are looking at a pillow that is already stuffed check to make sure that it has a zipper. Where To Find Inserts By only purchasing the cover, you can decide what insert you want to use. A good pillow insert can make even the most inexpensive covers look luxurious. These pillow inserts from IKEA are the absolute best value. Down or down alternatives, like these, will help you get that fancy (and satisfying) karate chop shape you often see in design photos and mood boards for interior design. Image source: @homesweethorton Brooke from @homesweethorton shares a fun pillow combo on her couch Pro Tip: Always use an insert one size larger than your pillow cover for a fuller look. So for an 18 inch cover you will want to use a 20 inch insert.

It is really easy to get a variety of looks when you mix and match some of the same pillow covers. You do not need a huge stash of different pillows to change the look of your space. Sometimes swapping one pillow is all it takes. Neutral, textured pillows, like some of these, can go anywhere in your home. They make it easy to swap pillows from your bedroom to your family room and make the perfect base for layering.
