How Do I Choose Pillows For A Grey Couch?

If you own a grey couch, you may find yourself struggling to decide what kind of pillows to buy. Here are a few ideas before purchasing your next set.

Consider Colorful Accents

Neutral colors like grey provide the perfect canvas for colorful accents. So don't be afraid to mix things up with some bright and bold hues. A few well-placed throw pillows can really add some personality to your space. Not sure what colors go well together? You can pull in some colors from your rug if you have one, or use some warmer tones to contrast against the cool grey tone. Just remember to stick to a limited palette, so your living room doesn't look too chaotic.

Play with Textures and Patterns

Another great way to add interest to your grey couch is by playing with textures and patterns. Try incorporating a few different pillows made from different materials, such as velvet, wool, or cotton. And don't be afraid to mix and match patterns. Just make sure they are complementary so they don't clash.

If you're not sure where to start, try using a combination of throw pillows that include a solid, a stripe, a block print, and a floral or geometric design. Or go for a more unexpected look with an ikat or animal print. Again, just remember to keep it within a limited color palette for a cohesive look. We suggest using between 3-5 colors on the sofa.
