Simple tips to update the look of your living room using only cushions and pillows


 
Home Improvement,Interior Design

If you are looking to re-decorate your home, it is possible to use nothing more than cushions and pillows to achieve your goal. It keeps your budget affordable and also gives you a chance to use your personal style and imagination to reflect upon your interiors. You can find many kinds of cushion covers that are playful, energetic and bright – they can either infuse a colourful accent in to the room or they can simply blend well with your wooden couches with cushions in order to create a balanced look that is not too overpowering.

Whether it is a diwan, a luxurious couch or a simple chair, the addition of cushions and pillows can change the look and feel of your furniture as well as the room as a whole instantly. If you have neutral colour leather couches and want to add accent colours in the room, use bright coloured cushion covers with fillers inside to update the look. You can choose from colours like red, pink, purple and even blue and can pair some plain, some printed and some self textured cushion covers in the same colour palette or use 2-3 colours that work together harmoniously to achieve the look.

For example – a bright blue bolster that serves as the end piece on the couch on either side will go perfectly with pastel blue textured cushions, navy solid colour cushion covers and covers that use a combination of beige and blue. You can use single piece cushion covers of each kind and choose to have 3 cushions in between the 2 bolsters, or choose a pair of each kind and have 6 cushions that create a layering effect. On the other hand, you can also use a combination of blue cushion covers and black cushion covers that will update the look of beige, white or black couch instantly. However, when using more than one colour, try and keep the patterns limited and don’t use too many different designs. That idea works best only if you will keep the colour palette limited to a single colour, like say blue, and can use many different designs in blue cushions for wooden sofa to change its look and feel.

If your living room uses a single colour for a monotone decor, you can create a beautiful look by not changing the colours but changing the texture and fabric. Fact is cotton, satin, silk, brocade and textured fabrics all have a different visual effect. Even if you place cushion covers in the same neutral colour, say beige or brown, on a wooden couch but each cover itself is crafted from a different fabric, the final visual result will be much different than what all beige or all brown cushions in one fabric will create. This is because some fabrics have sheen of their own and will tone up the style quotient of a furniture piece effortlessly. A great way to update the look of an old couch is to use the combination of a solid, a floral and a stripe cushion covers together in a single colour palette.
