Choose a base color
Start by choosing a base color that matches your sofa and interior. Neutral colors like gray, beige, and white are a good start, but you can also choose bold colors. For example, black decorative pillows are versatile, match almost any interior, and provide contrast.

Play with patterns and textures
Cute cushions with different patterns and textures can instantly brighten up a dull couch. Combine plain cushions with patterned cushions. Textures such as velvet, cotton and linen provide a luxurious look.
Use color accents
Accentuate your seating area by adding cushions in contrasting colours. Combine decorative cushions in black or beige with coloured cushions such as mauve, pink or green. This provides variety and therefore no boring sofa!
Symmetry vs. Asymmetry
Decide whether you want a symmetrical or asymmetrical layout. Symmetry gives an organized and calm look, while asymmetry gives a playful look.
Add accessories
Complete your seating area with matching accessories such as rugs, candlesticks with candles and side tables. These elements make your seating area not only stylish, but also functional.

Extra tip: go with the season
Change your cushion styling seasonally, so you adapt the inside to the outside. Use light and airy fabrics and colours in the summer, and warm, rich tones and textures in the winter. This keeps your interior inviting.
Experiment with different combinations and don't be afraid to show your own style. Your sofa will look fantastic!
