Have you ever thought about the impact pillows have on your space? If you’re trying to sell your home pillows can make the whole space come together changing the feel of your space. Since you only get one chance to make a first impression let’s take a look at do and don’t of pillows to ensure your home sends "buy me" signals.
Something you should look for when choosing pillows is the size and scale compare to the sofa. You don’t want to lose seating because your pillows are too big. Pillows are meant to be an accessory. Like wise you don’t want the pillows to be too small either. Try to pick a size that will compliment your sofa. I like to layer bigger pillows with smaller pillows to give depth and variety.
Don’t be afraid to choose different textures and print, this is a great way to dress up a contemporary sofa. Use color blocks, often the same color scheme looks great even thought the prints don’t match.
Pillows are a bit of an investment so look for pillows that have a zipper, this way you change up color for the season or mood. I recommend down filled pillow because they can be washed and they will never lose shape lasting you a life time.
Don’t over due it; pillows with fringe, sequins and appliqué are to busy and too much. For staging I prefer to stick to solid color,so they do not distract the buyer. Don’t over due the amount of pillows either too many pillow tend to look messy and also take away from your seating. If you have to move pillows to sit comfortably you have too many. I like to group pillows in odd numbers as it is more pleasing to the eye.
