Does your living room look boring and dull? The living room is often used as a space to put all kinds of homeowner goods that have just been brought from outside. Often the task of redecorating your living room is considered as too big project to consider so that before you get stuck in repainting, rearranging the carpet or putting back your old sofa, consider the idea of using a few cushions to add the joy of your living room. If chosen correctly, the cushions can bring together all the elements of the room and bring harmony to a room that was once busy or mismatched. Choosing the right cushions for your room can be very difficult one.

Be it your living room or your bedroom, cushions add a sophisticated touch to any room. Adding cushions to your living room is a great opportunity to add color and texture to the room. If you add a few cushions that complement the other colors in your room and are in sharp contrast to the color of your sofa, it can be just as effective as adding new artwork to your wall. Or in other words, your livingroom would be ‘alive’ than before. Just make sure that you choose the right cushions color for your livingroom.

This is probably the most important step in your process of choosing the right cushion’s color. The reason for this part is because, if chosen carefully, your cushions can bring together all the elements in your room and help create a stylish and harmonious look. Often the living room is full of lots of colors and patterns. The color of your walls, patterns on your curtains, artwork hanging on your wall, and some decorations such as vases, porcelain, or other knick-knacks. Those add colors and textures to your living room. Now, choosing your cushions based on the already colors in your living room can subtly unite all the busyness in the room and help the colors that complement each other instead of working together. There are plenty of cushion stores online these days so you can browse for your cushions while referring back to your colour palette to ensure you get the right colour.

Next is to arrange your cushions on the sofa or chair. There are no standard rules on how to arrange cushions on your sofa, but there are a number of things you can do to maximize the effect. If you like traditional style, then you want to choose a classic style that is placing one or two cushions on each end of the sofa. This can be a very good way to reach classic or traditional living room.

While if you want more modern look, then you have the freedom to mix everything. Actually there are no rules in terms of cushions arrangement on the sofa for modern or traditional look.
