One of the simplest ways to brighten up your living room, family room, or bedroom is to use throw cushions. And considering how many fairly priced, appealing pillows are available, it would be a shame to limit oneself to just two or three solid-coloured pillows, or, worse still, the set that came with your couch. Keep in mind that your pillows don't all have to be the same colour. If they don't, you'll appear more affluent and competent. The tips below will show you how to mix and match various patterns and/or colours to quickly refresh your space with a coordinated but not matchy-matchy look if you lack confidence in your ability to choose pillows.
