2. Select The Right Throw Pillows

Pillows are the superheroes of sofa styling. They have the power to transform the look and feel of your living room in an instant. But how do you choose the right ones? It's all about finding the perfect balance between comfort and style. Select pillows that complement your sofa's color and texture while adding a touch of visual interest. Experiment with different sizes, shapes, and patterns to create a dynamic arrangement that showcases your personality.

Here are three steps to help you select the right throw pillows:

Step 1: Consider Color and Texture

Start by considering the color and texture of your CHITA sofa. Look for pillows that complement the sofa's color scheme while adding a touch of visual interest. For a cohesive look, choose pillows that either match or harmonize with the sofa's color.

Step 2: Play with Sizes and Shapes

Don't be afraid to play with different sizes and shapes of throw pillows. This step allows you to add variety and create a visually appealing arrangement. Mix standard square pillows with lumbar or bolster pillows to create layers and interest. Experiment with different sizes, such as larger pillows at the back and smaller ones in front, to create a sense of depth and dimension.

Step 3: Embrace Patterns and Prints

Adding patterns and prints to your throw pillows can infuse personality and visual excitement into your CHITA living room. Consider the overall theme and style of your space when choosing patterns. If your room has a neutral palette, use pillows with bold patterns to make a statement.
