What role do the decorative pillows play?

The role of pillows can be divided into four main areas:

Truly limitless possibilities!

As for the first point - coziness, everything is clear here, other details can be uncovered in more detail. The fact is that whatever your interior was, you can pick up pillows so that they really change it decorate. Simple pillows you can emphasize the missing elements of the style or decorate the interior too tight.

As described above, it is very good to supplement ethnic styles - Moroccan, Indian, African, Oriental style. In these cases, you can use any kind of pillows, nothing will not interfere, dumas will be especially good with additional ornaments of brushes or edges. Here everything depends on your interior, if it is discreet, then you can use pillows of extravagant excesses and with simple colors, but different colors.

If you have a luxurious interior and designed a certain style, for example, Empire style or classicism, then dumples with a gobelin headpiece are very suitable, you can decorate with fringe. Usually in such styles there are lambrikens and lampshades, brushes and fringe will perfectly emphasize and complement the interior.

If you have a modern style, for example, minimal, then here are perfect cushions made of leather, they will give comfort in a strict room, while not breaking the design itself.

In the room, ethnos style is best used pillows of noise, leather, with different patterns that will correspond to African, Indian, or Egyptian.

Glamorous style can also be emphasized with fur or leather cushions, in small quantities.

The fact is that sometimes cushions can put emphasis on a certain part of the interior much brighter and more expressive than some costly element. In addition, it will be easy to change the pillows and you can change them as you like. Pillows for accents require taking into account the soft furniture, its coloring, so it is worth choosing covers in the theme for furniture.

The fourth direction is the connecting pillows. It's clear, these are pillows that connect all or part of the elementovinter terrier. This is very convenient, so you can associate absolutely unlike the colorodigan and chairs, for example, take a cover for the pillow, which will be the colors of both, and the other element.

Colors of the pillows to the interior

Although this has already been written about a little, but it is worth adding. For example, the choice of color in one tone with a sofa and an armchair or with a bed, this is necessary in case you have a strict, classical style. Another option is to pick up the tone, but with other pictures and with a different color of the picture. You can use accent pillows, which will stand out clearly on the furniture background in absolutely different colors, but it will be pleasant to match in tone.

If you have a problem with choosing a color, then often black and white resolution removes all problems, in this case you do not have to worry about the combination, you can choose a cover with a black and white pattern.

The combination of two + one. This is when you have a sofa, for example, yellow or tobacco, and the armchairs are light blue, then you can use yellow or blue pillows for the couch, and put red pillows on the chairs.

Varicoloured - this variant of colors will suit quite a lot, in this case you should use pillows of different colors, shapes and with different patterns, even very bright colors are recommended.

Combining colors is when you can combine a tone, for example, a sofa with a pillow tone, but the pattern and its coloring will be intended for another element. The right combination emphasizes the style of location, but at the same time demonstrates the flawless taste of the owner.
