Simple Tips for Decorating Sofas with Pillows

Dress up your sofas for the season or occasion by simply adding or changing your pillows. Decorative cushions can be much more than simple decor accessories, they can bring cozy comfort to your seating spaces and are easy to maintain. Here are a few tips on how to use decorative cushions to give your sofa a makeover. Seasonal Update Decorative pillows are a quick and easy way to update your home decor for the holidays. Choose cushions in silks that have a subtle sheen to them and will add sparkle to the holidays. Since the cushions can be stored flat in your linen closet, you can put together a collection for year-round decor updates.

Play Mix-and-Match Create a layered look favored by professional designers by combining different fabrics, shapes and sizes. Choose color or motif as your theme and mix pillows in florals, stripes, solids and textures to harmonize your decor and create visual interest.

Be Inspired by Nature Bring a bit of the outdoors inside by choosing decorative cushions in botanical and floral prints. Stylized floral or organic, nature-inspired shapes are also a great choice for updating your sofas. Mix in a few coordinating pillows in stripes or solids for an urbane touch.

Make your own decorative pillows with prints of digital pictures transferred to your cushions. Choose print-ready fabrics in colors you'd prefer and use your printer to print your chosen image on the fabric. Then, iron the printed image by keeping it face down on the ironing board. The fabric is now ready to be made into a cushion cover for your personalized decorative accents. You can also get photos printed directly onto cushions from gift stores that offer digital fabric printing services.

Size, Shape and Scale Convert your sofa into a landscape of sizes, shapes and textures by layering larger decorative pillows at the back or along the corners and smaller throw pillows in front. You can add dimensional interest by choosing to layer the cushions and throw pillows on one side and add a rectangular throw pillow or bolster along the other.

Decorate your sofa or sectional using these simple tips and tricks.
