Brighten your living room with a vibrant pillow couch set

“Color is a power that directly influences the soul,” wrote the artist Vassily Kandinsky. Use the power of color to imprint your soul and personality on your living space, scattering sparks of vibrant energy through your home. One of the easiest ways to add a pop of color is with a set of modern couch pillows from up-and-coming designers, for an original and vivid impact.

From unusual patterns to opulent fabrics, quirky color combinations to dazzling designs, here is some inspiration for how to pick the right pillows and create a space that’s perfectly yours.

Choosing the right hues

Color has a huge impact on our mood, wellbeing and perception of space. Choosing the right color palette for the throw pillows in your living room can create a sense of energy or calm; drama or peace. You could use evocative colors to encourage creative inspiration in your home office, or opt for muted natural shades to impart a sense of tranquility to your couch. Or perhaps you want to fill the room with energizing vibes for a party, choosing bright neon tones or sharp contrasts? Whatever effect you want to achieve, color is a shortcut to atmosphere. Here are some tried and true color combinations that you might like to consider for your next set of sofa pillows.

Serene blue

Evoking feelings of tranquility and relaxation, soft blues like the Geo Roman Right are a good way to bring serenity into your living room.

Vibrant red

Create a dynamic atmosphere with a bold statement color. The bright cherry red of the Rosette Center pillow couch set is a passionate, vivid choice.

Sunny yellow

Vibrant and optimistic, the yellow hues of the Sea Ice Left cushion bring a burst of sunshine to your space, injecting energy and effervescence with a touch of elegance.

Organic green

Immediately evocative of peaceful nature, green tones like those in the Pebbles Center pillow bring the natural world into your interiors, creating a calm vibe.

Regal purple

The color of emperors and kings, deep purple is a way to add instant luxury and drama. Paler shades tend to have a softer, romantic feeling like the pinky-lilac of Heart-Shaped Box Right.

Earthy brown

At once grounding and elegant, earthy terracotta colors bring an immediate warmth to your living room, such as the Terra Circa set of sofa pillows with its inviting ambience.

Pure white

Clean and simple, pure white and off-white tones like the background of the Whirlpool Left design are the ultimate expression of minimalist elegance, evoking notions of purity and enlarging a space.

Finding complementary colors for your pillow couch set

It’s not only about the single right color, it’s about finding shades that go well together. Do you want to create a vibrant contrast, or have one hue sliding seamlessly onto the other? It can be hard to know where to start when selecting a combination of colors to achieve your perfect and unique look. Here are some timeless, winning color combinations for inspiration.

Navy blue and mustard yellow

Try pairing a rich navy blue with a vibrant, bold mustard yellow. It’s a look that’s simultaneously classic and modern with high contrast and sober shades.

Teal and coral

A bold blend with cool tones and a fresh marine feel. Yet the pastel hues keep the combination feminine, even when matched with geometric lines, as in the Stained Glass design.

Emerald green and pink

Vibrant natural tones, evocative of bright flowers in a verdant tropical jungle. It’s a natural and organic combination, but one that is still full of drama. 

Sand and terracotta

Warm and earthy natural colors are a timeless choice, like the Terra Circa design, bringing classical neutrals into your home, and making it a welcoming space. 

White, gold and cherry red

Make a big bold statement with strong contrasts like the Cobra Center set, a vibrant choice of modern couch pillows designed for a dynamic and vivid interior.

Picking perfect patterns

Once you’ve got your color scheme in mind, it’s time to think about patterns. These can have just as much effect as color on creating a unique atmosphere; plus adding texture and depth to your living room and making a talking point for guests. The sky’s the limit when it comes to patterns. Here are some popular modern aesthetic choices, reimagined in a unique style for original home decor.

Solids with polka dots 

Polka dots are an absolute classic, given a new look here in the Pebbles set of sofa pillows, with natural shapes and vibrant colors taking the places of perfect circles.

Solids with florals

Feminine florals undergo a classy modern update in the Rosette design, with a contemporary, stylized flower motif in vibrant pinks and reds, for a warm ambience.

Classical patterns

With a repeating spiral feature in sage green on ivory, the Apollo set of pillows is deeply evocative of classical designs, with a modern twist to update the look.

Geometric shapes

Geometry is consistently pleasing to the eye, and is a perennially popular choice, especially when combined with muted colors to soften the impact, as in the Geo Roman throw cushions.

Whirlpool patterns

Both calming and inspirational, like the sea itself. Bring the color and motion of the ocean into your home with the abstract Whirlpool Right design.

Choosing the perfect designer cushions for your living room

Finding the right colors and contrasts; plus timeless, yet unusual patterns for modern couch pillows is one of the simplest ways to get a new look and to bring out the best in your living space.
