When choosing throw pillows for couch, the first thing to decide is the number and size of the pillows. Both these things completely depend upon the size of your couch. If the couch is big enough, creating a layered look by placing a mix of a number of small and large pillows, will do wonders for your living room's look. However, if the couch is medium-sized or small, go in for two or three small ones as over-sized pillows can give it a very cluttered and uncomfortable feel.

Once you have decided upon the size and number, next comes the selection of designs and patterns. If you want to give a rich look to your living room interiors, go in for red pillow covers made in silk or satin fabric. You will get a plethora of traditional Chinese and Thai designs in red, silken cushion covers, to choose from. Throw pillow covers which come with embellishments such as embroidery, bead work, ribbon work, laces, sequins, mirror work and patchwork, gel very well with a traditional décor too.

If you are someone who prefers minimalist accents in his room space, the cotton couch cushion with simple prints such as stripes, polka dots, diamonds, flowers on them, would be ideal. The same designs are available in other materials such as suede, velvet and linen as well. However, when it comes to everyday usage and easy maintenance, cotton scores over all the other fabric. To clean couch pillows, separate the stuffing and the cover first and then move onto cleaning the cover in a washing machine. However, if the fabric is delicate, consider hand washing it. That's why cotton is supposed to be the most convenient fabric for throw pillows as it can be easily washed at home. However, cotton throw pillows may sometimes look very ordinary, so to add a bit of fun element to the cotton cushion covers that you use everyday, get the ones which come with a fringe or tassels at the edges.

For contemporary homes, cushion pillows in white, black and all the pastel shades, look good. When it comes to modern throw pillows for elegant and classy, contemporary interiors, go in for the ones which have art designs on them. Pillows covers which come with some interesting words on them, such as "Om", "Peace", "Love", etc. are another excellent choice for enhancing and giving a unique look to modern interiors. Knitted and quilted, plain couch covers look great in contemporary settings too. So, add a few plain ones to your sofa, to increase the visual quotient of your living room.

When buying couch pillows, pay special attention to the stuffing. It should be either cotton or foam as both these materials are quite comfortable. These days couch pillows are available in some of the brightest colors such as aqua, fluorescent, orange and purple, which can liven up any kind of living room! Then there are those with faces of some famous celebrities on them, thus showcasing someone or something you are passionate about! So, add a few of these inexpensive accent pieces to your furniture and create a stunning, comfortable and cozy look in your living room!
