Decorating with throw pillows may seem like a small part of the design process, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. They’re the best way to elevate a house to a home. Even though they are soft and comfortable, they’re not all fluff. When it comes to living room seating, hallway benches, and pretty much anything in the bedroom, adding a throw pillow will pack a ton of punch and bring out the subtle design features in a space. In order to harness the full potential of these decorative do-gooders, we’ve rounded up a few tips that will make the styling process a lot easier.
From color schemes to arrangement formulas, this set of styling suggestions will have you decorating with throw pillows like a pro in no time. Even better, we’re including plenty of visual aids alongside each tip to guide you through the process and provide a little design inspiration if you’re feeling lost. Scroll through to get the full details.
Pick an Anchor Color
CHRIS PATEY FOR MYDOMAINE If there’s a piece of furniture in your room that brings in a pop of color, make sure the rest of the room highlights it without outshining it. In the example above, the soft rose gold accents and striped linen pillows pick up on the tufted raspberry ottoman. This makes the overall look much more cohesive. But to keep things exciting, there’s also a cool new color introduced to the pallet vis-Ã -vis the printed square throw pillows. Their steel blue details contrast with the anchor color and accentuate the light gray paint in the kitchen.
Mix and Match
TESSA NUESTADT By mixing and matching styles and prints, you’ll elevate the intrigue to keep the eye engaged. This vignette is the perfect example for decorating with throw pillows of different styles. You have your graphic chevron print, a few neutrals for balance, and then, for the standout, a floral-print pillow that ties in most of the colors in the room. Again, when choosing your throw pillows, it’s best to think of them without the context of the entire space. So you can see how some of these pillows flatter the crisp white walls while others are flattering the blue cushion and carpet. Together, they also bring out the natural textures of the hardwood floor and stone wall. As you can see, these pillows are also artfully curated in their own right, so the artwork above is a more muted tone.
Talk about eye-catching! When you deconstruct the room and break down the design elements of each item, it’s hard to imagine how they all work together so well. The answer lies within the decorative throw pillow, of course, as its mustard print details reconcile everything. Notice how each piece is unique in shape, style, and size. Thanks to the tiny seat with an angular base, organic stool, disc-like lamp, and triangular table, this bedroom gives quirky proportion play a whole new meaning.
Don’t shy away from experimenting, and never underestimate the power of a pillow.
If you want to play with shape and proportion, opt for a round cushion that can break up traditionally-shaped pillows on a sofa or chair. You can also use it as a floor cushion!
Cover All the Bases (Surfaces)
This living room achieves a thoroughly grown-up look without sacrificing all of its childlike excitement. How? No two pillows are alike, which keeps the aesthetic warm and playful. If you imagine this room without the throw pillows, it may feel more formal and harsh, which can be just as beautiful—it really just depends on what kind of environment you’d like to create. We love how every seating option in the room has a throw pillow on it. Not only will the lumbar pillows on the chairs ensure that guests get all the back support and comfort they deserve, but it also maintains the edgy style.
We’d definitely like to show off this crowned jewel front and center for a royal statement.
Stay Neutral
For another bedroom look that’s totally different in color but on the same page regarding symmetry, consider going colorless. Since a bedroom is the space in a home that feels the most personal and relaxing, comfort should be prioritized over style. But the two don’t need to be in competition either. Transforming your bedroom into a sanctuary is all about channeling an environment that inspires and calms you. If bright colors overwhelm you or you simply resonate with neutrals more, you can still allow your personality to show through with things like texture, material, wall art, and shape.
Experiment With Texture
Arrange Them by Style
Once you’ve purchased your pillows, you might wonder, what now? Arranging your pillows by style is one way to ensure your space will look effortlessly chic. An easy way to start is by picking an odd number of pillows, with a unifying aspect, like a color or theme. If mixing patterns is not your thing, consider mixing textures of the same hue instead. Arrange the larger pillows to the side, with smaller ones in front, like on this outdoor couch that has a textured white pillow and mustard yellow pillow on each side and an earthy patterned pillow in the middle.

Do you love wabi sabi interior design? Then Alena is your designer!
I have been following Alena on Behance and love every single rendering visualization she made. To my surprise, she made one of the famous dining room of Casa Cook Hotel, with the oversized rattan pendant lights just look very similar with the real photos.
Personally I have been dreaming of having large rattan lights over my dining table, with the whole ambiance feels wabi sabi, and hopefully Alena would make one design for me too.
I couldn’t imagine having my custom designed furnitures and home decors to be rendered and visualized such a way it feels so laid back. In Bali, we have Maximilian Jancquel to transfer all the visualization into reality. His interior design taste is something I would love to for my vacation home.
Some people calls it primitive, though. But with modern touch, you can’t feel the creepiness of living inside the home. It feels nature friendly, eco living, with lots of natural resources like wood, rattan, cement concrete and indoor plants. It’s more like brutalist and grunge design, instead of primitive. What do you think?
Being a lighting designer push me to my limit most of the times. But the wiseman says, it makes you grow.
With Nantucket rattan pendant light, I think we have this hundred discussions on how to make it better and better every time.
From the rare best materials to use, to the accessories it takes and how to assemble, it’s been a constant modification, a continuous improvement, I would say.
Some interior design clients want it with chains, some with rods, others with sling. And like it says that the devil is in the details, honestly I try hard not to make it stressed out 😀
My design team for this consists of 6 persons including me, and I am kind like a little bit satisfied with it for now. The metal has now went through powder coating for ocean side use, and carefully select the rattan materials.
Am I a demanding designer? Yes I am, however I am so sorry if I haven’t satisfied you. There are some limitations in the industrial process as we keep to maintain sustainability slow home decor.
It’s been our mission to keep people working with our brand to continuously being productive, there is wisdom in making slow furniture and maintain the handmade process all the way. It’s relationship, the thing that industrial manufacturing might miss.

I’ve been following Yana for quite some time, as I am looking for a designer that may be able to convince me with what design to pick for my future build.
I’ve been loving wabi sabi style for the past five years, however as this future home is going to be my show room in the future, I will also have to cater my clients who may use my lighting design into their aesthetic. Thus, trying to fit the rendering into broader look, such as farmhouse style, coastal, mediterranean, Hamptons, Scandinavian, Nordic, japandi, rustic, beach and more.
Not to mention the clients from hospitality industry, with hundreds of aesthetics to match on. From luxury restaurants to small town cafe bistro. From a high end executive club to local coffee shop.
There are times it’s difficult to pick which interior design style I need to go to when it comes to attach my rattan pendant lights into making the photo rendering. But for now, let forget about it and pick this wabi sabi rendering by Yana Prydalna and be inspired!
Her beautiful and meticulous rendering has birthed out more of my creative craftsmanship. It’s been a while since I designed furnitures and home decors in addition to lighting, but never dare to go serious about it. I just kept the prototype in the warehouse, knowing it takes so much energy to do interior styling with them.
I have throw pillow styles for photo shoots, another prototype lamp shades being idle in the warehouse, coffee tables, stools, base lamps, decorative bowls, painting, and much more itty bitty details of home decors. I would say it takes the whole village to do styling with them. So, in the meantime, let them sit and let’s think later how we can have them all rendered by Yana, rather than me getting sweat and exhausted, and loosing my breath due to the hard work it takes. I’m in my mid 50s and yes, constantly designing and crafting with 33 degrees Celsius feeling like 43 in Bali, thus I need to wait until winter hits Australia for us to have a cooler air being pushed up to the region.
Enjoy Yana’s work ladies! She’s an awesome interior designer whose taste I cheer dearly.
