Recently, a high school classmate in my hometown (yes, the one who asked her wife to go to the mall to buy clothes a few days ago) changed her wife's note to "always chopping" because she often chops with her wife to change carpets, roll up sheets, hang paintings, buy a vacuum cleaner dog, etc., and her hands are chopped so many times that she doesn't have time to grow back.

He came to harass my wife at midnight yesterday, asking, " How come the sofa I bought from a magazine turned out to be a buyer's show after I moved it into my home? It's so ugly ?! "

The wife saw that the sofa was simple and basic, made of vintage velvet, and the color was versatile. The walls were high-grade gray, and the floor tiles were also pretty good, but...

They are not ugly, they are just not matched well ! You have chosen a sofa, but when you move it into your home, it is left naked, how can it look good?

Whether it is pictures in magazines or home pictures on the Internet, many of them are posed, and the soul is the pillow .

Friends often say in the background that they want to renovate their homes, but don’t know where to start.

Change the temperament of your home

Start with the sofa pillows

[Sexy pillow]

When it comes to matching pillows and sofas, color is the key .

The sofa below is ok, and it has the element of pillows, but it just feels weird, right? That’s because the pillows and the sofa are too similar, too monotonous! My friend’s sofa has the same problem.

Refuse to have your throw pillows and sofa in exactly the same color.

Look at the one below. Two bright white accents appear in the large area of ​​gray, making the entire space come alive.

However, the matching of sofa and pillow is not as simple as changing the color of the sofa to a different color.

My wife has her own set of simple and outstanding home furnishing matching methods . Let’s take the living room as an example today:

First, look around the living room and decide on a main color .

The main color can be the color of sofas, curtains, carpets, decorative paintings , and other things can follow the same color.

1. Follow the decorative paintings

Don't underestimate the role of decorative paintings. Hanging them behind the sofa or TV means that they serve as the visual center. Therefore, it is a good idea to choose pillows that follow the decorative paintings.

But it doesn't mean that the colors have to be copied exactly, as long as there are the same elements .

A bit abstract? Take a look at the picture below and I guarantee you will understand it in seconds.

2. Follow the carpet

The furniture is in a simple Nordic style, the carpet is in a lively Bohemian style, and the pillows on the sofa are the connecting line between the two styles.

If you take away the pillow, it will feel like something is missing in the living room...

There are 6 pillows on the sofa below, 3 of which are light-colored, following the tapestry on the wall, 2 are ethnic-style, following the brown sofa (but not exactly the same) , and 1 is navy blue, following the carpet.

They seem to have no connection, but in fact they are closely linked.

3. Follow the Curtains

My wife once said that curtains are so important that “a piece of cloth can determine life or death”, so it’s always right to let the pillow follow the curtains.

You see, my wife’s reputation as a “constant shopper” is actually misplaced, because matching means shopping rationally .

Don’t just take home a nice-looking ornament as soon as you see it. Calm down first and see if the color matches your home. Otherwise, you will definitely let it gather dust after you buy it.

As shown in the demonstration below, all the colors of the sofa can be echoed in the paintings.

4. Follow the chandelier

If you have a particularly fancy chandelier, you can also choose the color of the cushions based on that, such as the brass color in the picture below.

The black cushions echo the black table lamp behind

Gold cushions and two leather poufs match the brass chandelier

If your sofa is colorful, welcome to the 3-minute home color matching crash course for Mrs.

Since ancient times , red and blue have been CP

If the sofa at home is blue or red, you can match it with red or blue pillows accordingly. (Ignore the wallpaper in the picture below...)

The combination of blue and red also has a unique sense of high-grade mystery and modernity . The blue and red do not necessarily have to be pure blue against pure red, you can just choose from these two color systems.

For example, my wife thinks that orange looks better than pure red, and it couldn’t be more perfect when paired with grayish blue.

yellowBlue combination is super modern

Among the colors, yellow is the color that is most likely to make people feel warm, and it is the best combination with the cool blue.

Some of my friends bought fully furnished houses , but they were very upset by the dark red floors or checkered square tiles with white floor tiles, and they had no idea how to match them to create a sense of fashion.

To be honest, the yellow and blue combination can be saved. The turmeric with grayish blue is full of retro feeling.

The yellow and green are so fresh that they want to dance freely

Green is a very elegant color, while yellow is a color that brings warmth and positive energy. The collision of the two is surprisingly harmonious. Even large areas of pink are inferior to it!

【Changeable pillow】

The materials of pillows include cotton, linen, nylon and so on.

The material you choose depends on your personal preference, but the pattern on the pillow is also important. (Color and pattern complement each other, and the color of the pillow will also be mentioned below.)

The principle of selecting patterns is: decreasing layer by layer

Step one: Think about what solid-colored pillows you have on your sofa at home, and then use that as a base to string together other different colors and patterns.

Step 2: No matter what pattern you choose on the pillow, one of the patterns must be the color that appears on the first pillow .

Step 3: The pattern of the third pillow can be more detailed and complex.

As usual, one of the colors on top must match the first pillow . Did you notice that the area of ​​both the color and the pattern decreases from large to small?

Putting aside the "formula" above, the actual style when placed on the sofa is like this. Tip: big tree on the pillow and small tree on the pillow.

However, my wife would like to remind you not to blindly like a color.

If your sofa is neutral colors such as gray, white, brown, or some light colors, you can decorate it with bright or ethnic-style pillows.

If the color of the sofa is bright, you need some lighter pillows to balance it out. In fact, it is not just the sofa and the pillows, the color matching of the home also needs to be coordinated in this way.

【Active pillow】

Once you have mastered the color matching mentioned above, you will be able to find the tricks to arrange them.

1. Fill it up as you like

It seems simple to pile it up, isn't it?

You can put as much as you want, but it's actually very difficult.

If you are not careful, it will be too messy to read.

Hold the whole scene at once

2. Intentionally symmetrical

Symmetrical placement is very common and not complicated.

There are two pillows on one side of the sofa. Look carefully.

The four pillows are actually different

But it's all a style

Of course, you can also have one side larger and one side smaller symmetrical.

Look below. The base color of the patterned pillow is consistent with the tone of the sofa. The solid-color pillow is consistent with the color of a certain part of the wall and the color of a part of the painting. It looks very design-oriented.

3. Carelessly occupy a corner

In terms of composition

I think the easiest way is to put it on both sides of the sofa

Choose one side to stack the pillows

Just throw all the pillows on the sofa in a corner

The whole space looks much more cheerful.

A slight change in style

Just throw it in a corner of the sofa and it will match

• Tips for wives

Adding a blanket will make the sofa more lazy and comfortable, what a thoughtful move.

When choosing the color of the blanket

Just think of it as one of your pillows.

Choose according to the above categories, and then spread out

When buying pillows, don’t just buy colorful or cartoon-patterned pillows. Don’t just fall in love with every one you see. Each one looks beautiful when viewed individually, but putting them all together will make you feel...

At least stack them together and look at them before buying~

Home furnishing is like love

Pairing can last a long time
