How To Match Cushions With A Sofa-Part Two

We all know that when choosing a cushion, the matching with the sofa is very important. In the previous article, we talked about three points about the matching of cushions and sofas. Next, we will continue to introduce some other points about the matching of cushions and sofas.

1. The size of your sofa

Except for colors and styles, the size of your sofa also plays a contributing factor on the number of cushions to display. However, there’s no simple answer to how to match cushions to sofa size. You can freely use varying numbers of cushions and still achieve a wonderfully creative and playful setting, or a sophisticated and rich atmosphere. The key to getting the cushion arrangement right is to keep the sofa from feeling overcrowded. Large, medium and small-scale prints and varying cushion sizes will produce a well-balanced arrangement that gives a large sofa fluidity and movement. But remember too many patterns or bold solids can dominate an interior when placed on a smaller couch. You can use subtle hues with one or two pops of bold color for your sofa with cushions is a perfect aesthetic balance between a small piece of furniture and vibrant decorative details.

2. Use trending colors

Some of the more popular cushion colors these days are neutrals like gray and yellow, which can refresh a space without making it too feminine. Some other popular colors to consider are mustard, sage green and pretty terracotta cushions. For example, a brown, taupe or beige sofa would look great with a range of sage green cushions in different shades and patterns. If you choose foam cushions, soft coral, blush pink and ivory can make stunning accent colors. So, if you have a foam sofa, any of these colors makes for a great decorative throw pillow that is pop and eye-catching.

3. Create some contrast

When matching cushions with a sofa, think more about horizontal and vertical lines. If you have more narrow spaces to decorate, you can pair some plain, solid color seat cushions with patterns to create a balanced and refined look. Browns, tans, and other neutral and earthy tones like beige cushions work great against a darker sofa and more natural elements in the space.

Overall, no matter what cushions you choose for your sofa, make sure they're something you like and fit with the decor of your room.
