Need ideas for throw pillows for sectional couch

6 years ago

Hello, we have a sectional couch and I would like to ask your suggestions for throw pillow colors/sizes/arrangements that would coordinate with the artwork above the couch. Thanks so much for any help and suggestions!!! We may also be looking to change the area rug under the couch at some time. : ) Thank you!!!

    I would do some soft grey blues and dark greys or chocolate brown. Mix solids and prints. A couple square and a few oblong to use for lumbar support.

    Thank you! Which color pillow would look best as the 'base' pillow...ie the biggest pillows in the corner? Should 'solids' or prints be the base? I'm not very good at visualizing this..haha! Appreciate it!

    Thank you! Any tips on arrangements? Print pillows overlapping solid....solids overlapping prints? Thanks!

    Check out my favorite Etsy shop, One Affirmation, for pillows. They are handmade and all the colors and patterns go so well together that it takes a lot of the work out of it for you.



    I even think the pillows in her photo would work really well with your arrangement.

    Not a Pro.

    Love what you have so far and love the pillow suggestions by @BeverlyFLADeziner

    I think you can do better than those two little shelves on that narrow wall behind the sofa.

    Some suggestions.

    Two pieces of art, one above the other.

    Narrow tall lamp

    pedestal with plant

    I always like to have a somewhat solid or textured pillow in the back with patterned pillows in front.



    I'm not crazy about the shelves either. They don't seem necessary and will only hold small stuff that isn't the right scale next to your sectional.

    Hello everyone! Recently someone had suggested that i change-up the small shelves behind the couch . What would be some ideas? thank you!

    Remove them and don’t replace. One you get some pillows, that wall will need nothing.

    I don't mind the shelves if you had something on them. maybe a small plant or little trinket. but if you aren't going to display anything, then remove them and keep them bare.


    did you get a rug? pillows? anything diff?

    I would remove the shelves and leave the wall empty so your eye can rest. Three connecting walls lined with something looks busy.

    thank you for all your suggestions....really appreciate it! I am working on getting a new area rug....still shopping around! ; ) I plan to get the rug first and then match up the pillows. Also i'm really reconsidering those shelves. Maybe eliminating them as suggested....right now i just cant figure out what to place on them without looking 'cheap' . Would a photo shelf work better? Or maybe just placing nothing on that wall would work the best. Help!

    take them down. they shouldn't be such a major design issue!

    place them somewhere else in the house.

    Agree on moving those shelves. Great to start with new area rug pulling color from art.

    This is from Overstock. Not sure what size you need.

    Thank you so much Flo! I found the rug on Overstock...and ordered it!. It looks perfect...can't wait for it to arrive!! Really appreciate your help!

  • 6 years ago

    Hi Flo! The rug you recommended arrived today.....and I love it! I went with the 8x8 size rug.....I think that is appropriate size....would you agree? The pics below aren't the best quality with all the shadows...but I just wanted to show you. Now I have to work on getting the throw pillows! Thanks again for all your help!

    Looks great. It could be a bit bigger so the furniture fits on top of it but I think the room size kind of hinders. So if you are ok with it, it passes muster. I looks great.

    Maybe you could slide it under long side of sectional just about 4”?

    sally VW thanked Flo Mangan
  • 6 years ago

    Thank you Flo. My past rug was larger, maybe a 9x12, so the room can handle it. I do have the 8x10 size ordered...and will give that a try as well. Just to be sure we are on the same page.....when you say 'slide it under long side about 4"', are you referring to the long side of sectional as the section WITHOUT the teal pillows on it or the other section? Thanks again.

    Yes the side without pillows. A 9 x 12 would be best.

    Kinda like this. Pull whole rug over. But if you are getting larger rug you can get all front legs of furniture in the grouping which is ideal.
