I love our living room furniture we purchased back in June, but it needed a little pick me up. I still had the pillows that came with it, I just hadn't found any toss pillows that I really loved yet. A couple nights ago, I was staring at my living room wondering WHY I didn't like it. I liked my furniture, my rug, my cabinets, antiques, everything...except the pillows! I take that back, I do like them, but they were to matchy matchy on the sofas. I scanned my room, and borrowed from other areas, and this is what I came up with. It only took me about five minutes, and now I can use the original pillows on my leather chairs downstairs. Change doesn't have to take a lot of time, or cost a lot of money.
The proof is in the pictures...
This is my couch before. I love the brown and creme tweed pillows, they just were too matchy matchy. So I scanned the room. Here's what I came up with...
I left the brown herringbone pillows that match the couch. I guess they are really more of a mocha, but anyway. Then I borrowed this great wool blanket from the chair. I had a couple of old blue ticking pillows tucked in a basket. This one found a cozy home right here.
The other blue ticking pillow got tossed on my loveseat with this cream throw.
I love the simple result and added color of the blue ticking. If you aren't happy with a certain area of your home, try sprucing it up with simple things you may already have.
