Decoration 101
We don’t have to be an interior design experts, but here are some information and idea that will help you create your seamless dream home.
Spare enough space for your coaches
Note that decoration means using the available space in the most effective and aesthetic way. In this sense, it may be considered as the art of space designing. The available space in your room is one of the major factors that determine how you can and will decorate it. Therefore, try to use this space most efficiently. Give a considerable space to the comfort zones and furnitures. Your coach will probably be the largest piece of furniture in the room, so it will occupy the center of attraction. But if you don’t locate it in the right space, it will not demonstrate itself as a decorative figure. The best place for your coach is usually where it i exposed to enough light, directly meeting you from the entrance of the room. Give a considerable space (4-5 feet at least) between your coach and any other furniture.
Your coach can be your statement hero piece!
Located in the center or directly seeing the entrance, your coach will be the first thing to attract the attention. In a word, it will announce your style, taste, and characteristic like a statement hero. A very large, messy, worn out coach, for example, will immediately give a negative impression on the others. Besides, it won’t appeal to you as well and maybe trigger a reluctance to use it. But thinking of its basic function, it should comfort you in every ways. So, try to decorate it in the most neat and alluring way so that it invites you to its soft seats!
On the other hand, a tidy, reasonably located and elegant coach will address to your aesthetic taste while you are resting on it. The coach in the center of attraction will reflect your life standards, what you expect from functional and practical use of furniture. Plus, it will show your unique taste of decoration if you let it demonstrate on behalf of you. Never forget that comfort zones maybe the most private spaces, but they should also be mellow and inviting.
What about the statement color?
The color scheme of your living room is also very significant while choosing your additional decorative stuff, like your coach pillows or cover blankets. Because they constitude an actual part of your room in fact. If your coach is the statement hero, its appearance becomes its voice and manifesto! Therefore, study the effect of the colors.
While decorating your coach, Nur Pillow design recommends two options: The first is that, you can choose contrasting colors for your decorative pillows or covers with your coach or the walls. Although this requires a bit of knowledge about colors, a well-devised color scheme may create a genuine artistic atmosphere. Pastel colors trigger positive energy that brings livelihood into your interior. Here is the color formula: Try to match warm colors with cold ones. That is, for example, yellow goes with either blue or red shades. Green can be matched with orange. Pink and cream or grey make a lovely combination with your pillows.
The second option Nur Pillow suggests is that you can use complementary colors, which are different shades of a single color. This is less catchy than using contrasting colors, though, it is easier to make the combination. If your coach is white, for example, you can choose light-pink, soft powder pink, cream, latte brown for your pillows. Such a color transformation from light to dark or vice versa creates a soft and soothing appearance.
Note that if you prefer the second option, you should also consider choosing patterned designs in order to bring dynamism to the scene. Otherwise, your coach will appear dull and fade in the room.
A new fashion: Authentic Patterns
It is not without a reason that oldies are goldies. The oriental and authentic patterns marked by the eastern cultures were commonly used before. Yet the twentieth century brought a modern and plain style to the interiors, regarding the authentic designs as old-fashioned. However, there always remained a mystic atmosphere in the oriental taste, which the modern design lacked. The ethnic and oriental patterns usually reflected a harmony of red, orange, green, and brown. These colors dominate the eastern culture, the intimacy of a welcoming approach. In this sense, they are much more inviting than the single-colored decorations.
Nur Pillow has designed the Turkish Pillow set to combine the eastern culture with your modern furniture, adding unique patterns of the best quality. The Turkish Pillow set features the traditional line patterns and color combinations as the representatives of Turkish culture. Besides, the pillows reflect the specific divan fabric to bring a similar atmosphere. In this way, you can enjoy the mystic sense of Turkish culture.
How many pillows do you need to decorate a couch?
The color of your pillow when decorating your coach is one of the essential factors that directly influence the atmosphere of your interior. However, the shape and size of the pillows also equally state your style and taste. Plus, they determine how many pillows would your coach accommodate or require in decoration.
Large decorative pillows are usually practical and multifunctional, as they are more comfortable and may be used as your sleeping pillow other than their decorative function. However, a coach has limited space to accommodate large pillows, allowing usually two or three maximum. So, it is better not to fill your coach with large sizes to avoid reducing the part for sitting.
Small-sized pillows, on the other hand, give the opportunity to bring different patterns and styles together. As they occupy less space, you can make numerous combinations by using more than four pillows.
Of course, this is not an “either-or” option. Combining a large-sized pillow with small-size additions would be the best. Because it will provide comfort and aesthetic at the same time. As for the shape of the decorative pillows, the most common is square -probably the ones that you have in your house. Yet the new trend is rectangular or round-shaped pillows, which bring a different and fresh taste to decoration.
We recommend consistency in the shape rather than bringing various shapes and sizes together to make a distinct appearance. Because, while diversity in color adds to the stylistic value, different shapes may result in a messy impression. So, try to stick to a single shape but in different sizes.
Deciding the place
Before placing the pillows on your coach, fluff them up from every side to have a fresh and new appearance. In this way, you will give fullness to them and make them much more comfortable as well. Place two decorative pillows to the edges of the coach kind of at a 45-degree angle. Once you place the corner pillows, a little karate-chop will add to the fullness. For the most appealing decoration, the edges should feature at least two pillows. Then you may either add one more in a different size or just place one in the middle of the coach. If your pillows are middle-sized, two for each corner and a single in the middle is another option.
Now you are ready to enjoy the comfort of your decorative art! For creating your combinations according to your living room set or coach don’t forget to have a look at Nur Pillow design products.
