Throw Pillows & Throw Blankets

How to style throw pillows and blankets

How many throw pillows should I put on a sofa?

For a standard three-seat sofa, use an odd number, typically five: two larger throw pillows in the back corners, two mid-size in front, and one accent in the centre. For a loveseat, use three. Mix sizes rather than matching everything, so the arrangement looks styled instead of staged.

How do I mix throw pillow colours and patterns?

Build around a palette: start with one patterned pillow you love, then pull solids and textures from its colours. Layer Bouclair's cushions in off-white, beige, sage, green, and vintage pink, using woven and textured fronts to add depth. Vary the texture, a smooth weave against a nubby knit, even within a neutral scheme.

What size throw pillows work best?

Go bigger for a more luxurious look: anchor a sofa with 20- to 22-inch throw pillows in back, then layer smaller 18-inch or lumbar pillows in front. Insert one size larger than the cover so pillows look full, not flat, the single easiest upgrade to a tired sofa.

How do I style a throw blanket?

Add a throw for instant texture and warmth: drape one loosely over an arm or corner of the sofa, or fold it in thirds across the back for a tidier look. Coordinate it with your cushions, throws, and rugs by matching undertones, not exact colours. To style a sofa in one move, shop a curated collection we have already pulled together.
