Need Help pulling it all together

10 years ago

I need help with throw pillows. Getting beige sectional with clean lines in place of green sofas. I also have purchased a light aqua rug and artwork that will hang over short side of sectional.

I have chairs that are covered in this japanese fan print.

these are some fabrics I like but hubby says it all doesn't go.

Need advice if i should do throw pillows on the chairs, if so which fabric(s)? and what and how many pillows for the sectional. The beige fabric in the pic above is the sectional fabric.

Please help! I am driving myself crazy.

If you have anymore of the fan print, I would definitely do two pillows for the sofa in it. Welt them in the green fabric.

The orange fabric...lumbar pillows for the two chairs in the fan print.

Love it all, but I choose the greens/oranges over the pinks.

I love the green, the orange and the bright plum. Lovely combination.

I would use them all - use the 3 fabrics on the couch and the green on the fan print chairs (Lombard style if they suit). Your art is impactful and I think the pillows should be as well - you will have a stunning room that is not ordinary. In regards to how many, it's personal and so dependent on the style of couch. Try to find picture of your couch and see how it is accessorized when trying to decide.

There is a lot going on here - you have a lovely eye for colour but be careful that you don't mix too many designs (contemporary/graphic in artwork and Japanese in chair fabric) and textures. Can you post photo of sectional, chair style and area rug? It is not a good idea to take suggestions without showing these other key elements. If you post them, I will check back and make some recommendations. Off the top of my head, For the sectional, I would find fabric in same colour as chair fabric background for the throw pillows to lighten it up and tie in with the chairs.
