If you want to renew the living area, or you think it lacks charm, consider a simple change… With these guidelines for combining cushions, you will achieve a more attractive look, you will be surprised.
The secret of a stylish sofa is many times, in the right combination of cushions.
Clues to not fail: the color of a painting, the curtains, the rug, or the chairs in the dining room can be the basis and starting point for choosing the color scheme of the quadrants.
When choosing them, think that they can be seen, but they can also be touched, and felt… so their texture must be pleasant to you. It can be useful to take photos of your own living room and sofa from stores, but also of the combinations of cushions that you liked the most from the reports that we publish. Luck!
Contrast
The smooth cushion in a sparkling lime, from the firm C&C Milano, enlivens the Tigris print, by Pepe Peñalver, in shades of green. The composition, balanced but very striking, is completed with the pastel yellow of the blanket, from Zara Home, where the side table (€59.99), the leaves and the gold details also come from.
Black and coral
An unusual chromatic duo that also mixes the elegant Prince of Wales painting, by C&C Milano, in linen -distributed by Macarena Saiz-, with the Darwin monkey print, by Alhambra; and in contrast, coral velvet, by Andrew Martin -distributed by Pepe Peñalver-. Blanket, glass vase and candle holder, are sold at Zara Home.
Mix of motifs
If you mix, it is convenient to maintain a single color range in the fabrics. Keep in mind that if they belong to the same sampler, they will be exactly the same shades, as here, with the three prints from the Amazonia collection, by Coordonné. In contrast, the luminous Derby velvet, by Pepe Peñalver. Blanket, clock and vase, from Zara Home.
Red on
A bet with character, which is lightened with shades of white. All the cushions are from Zara Home, except the smooth coral velvet one, from Andrew Martin. Blankets, figure and candle holders, from Zara Home.

Ocean style
Your usual cushions feel wonderful about a change… Combine them with a new one that stands out for its summery print and gives a new, more summery air to the living room. In this proposal, the look is changed with a cushion with fish in crystal clear waters, which evokes the purity of the sea. Rhodes print, by Manuel Canovas, in Gastón y Daniela. In contrast, the ultra violet blanket, from Zara Home.
Cactus garden
The motifs that triumph outdoors also do so indoors. The sofa stands out with a cactus pattern with a collage of shades of turquoise, lime, emerald… Lighting them with a yellow tone in a mango tone is a success.
