If you stick with bright colors in your home decor, you can do the same when choosing pillows for your sofa. The first factor to consider when choosing pillows for a modern sofa is the color palette. If you have a patterned sofa, you should probably stick with solid colored pillows and stay away from intricately patterned pillows that will make your space too busy. If you like to change the look of your décor frequently, use standard size square cushions to make it easier to find replacement covers.
If you prefer to change your pillows frequently, I recommend choosing standard square size pillowcases (16", 18", 20", or 22"). If you're not comfortable with your ability to choose pillows, the following tips will help you mix and match fresh patterns and/or colors, allowing you to quickly freshen up your room for a coherent yet unrivaled look. If you choose a lot of pillows with different patterns, the look will still be the same as long as they are at least the same color. So when choosing patterned pillows to add to the mix, choose at least one or two pillows of the same color, even if it's a stitch of the same shade.
When you learn how to mix patterns, don't even try to match pillow colors, but it's a safe way to start. It will be easier to choose a color scheme if you choose a patterned pillow and the rest of the options will be based on extracting colors from that pillow.

When you're ready to start mixing pillow patterns and textures, my insider tip is to choose a solid color pillow first. Once you have chosen the main shade and room temperature you are looking for, you can decorate your room with pillows that match your color scheme, whether you choose a simple addition, split addition, analog, triad, tetrad or square. . Color scheme.
Now that you know how many pillows and sizes to choose, you can enjoy the calming effect of fun and bold color schemes or more neutral combinations. My favorite way to decorate a pillow is with full print (the largest pillows) and a variety of patterns and sizes to ensure the look. If you start mixing and matching your gorgeous pillow of choice by the rule of three, only to find that four colors work best for you, or that you prefer two large patterns to one, that's okay.
