How to Decorate a Curved Sectional Couch With Pillows

A curved sectional couch provides extra seating that allows the owner to move and manipulate the couch's components to fit any space. The couch's sections are detachable, making them easier to lift and arrange to meet your home's needs. Decorating your sectional couch with throw pillows will add a splash of color to the room without breaking the bank. There are several points to consider before committing to throw pillows to enhance your curved sectional couch. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Flip through magazines to find a style of pillow that fits your home, décor and personal taste. Cut the pictures out, and head to department and furniture stores to find pillows that fit your style.

      Choose the throw pillow's color based on the color of the curved sectional couch, a painting or throw rug. Pick a color that matches or compliments the single color or fits into the general theme of the room.

    • 3

      Choose a patterned pillow that features a neutral tone or a color that complements the couch. Avoid patterned pillows containing hues that clash with the color of the couch.

    • 4

      Consider the couch's use when choosing a material. Skip silk, satin or velvet pillows if the couch is used in a family room where children are present. Use durable fabrics, such as cotton or polyester, with children and pets. Vary the materials, from leather to fur, to provide more depth to the couch.

    • 5

      Pick the pillow's size based on the size of the couch. Sectional couches are larger than a traditional sofa and love seat, so they require anchoring pillows that will not be dwarfed by the sofa's size. Accentuate the larger pillows with smaller, patterned or more decorative pillows that will bring out the colors in the room.

    • 6

      Arrange the pillows in sets of two, with a larger neutral pillow at the back and a smaller patterned pillow at the front on both sides of the sofa. Leave the center curved area of the sofa free to accent this element.
