Help me decide- Decor

rosesforme · November 2009

I have recently decided I do not like the pillows I made for my couches when we moved into this house 10 months ago. The fabric is non-compatible (too formal) with the microfiber couches. I also just got an off-white shag rug and it needs to be tied in with my scheme somehow.

So I want to buy new pillows but I haven't found the perfect pillows anywhere. But now I found a ton I love on etsy. So my walls are a medium brown, my couches are black, and my rugs is off-white, curtains are gray. My accent colour is a leaf/green apple green.

So first here's a picture of my room

I am wanting two different patterns I think. One bigger print and one smaller.

These are some of my favourites

These (above) come in a pair, and I'm not sure I love the green.

The dark in this one is black which could work well.

I really like these but I would want a more colourful one as my second.

Could 3 and 4 work together?

But then again I have some blue in the kitchen and I could go for this...

Please help!

The etsy site that I love so many pillows on is

So if not these options then which others? I'm pretty open and fairly adventurous with matching prints.

TIA

I posted on D&R too. 1 and 4, 3 and 4, 2 and 5. You would want at least something with the green to tie in with the art on the wall right?

IMO the greens in the pillows don't match the green in your room so I wouldn't get the one's with green in them. I really like #3.

since you can sew, maybe you'll find a print you like here? ?(I think one of the two prints you posted is a marimekko design)

Some very fun fabrics on there.

I can sew but I'm not very good at cutting or sewing straight. And... these pillows are only 10 dollars each (being sold 20 for the pair plus shipping is pretty reasonable). I think this time it might be worth my money to buy. If I got a really good deal on fabric it might work out to be okay but then I have to deal with my uneven sewing which is part of the reason why I want to buy.

I love 3 and 4.

I like 2 & 4 but not together..I personally would go with only one pattern.

Good Luck!

BTW - You room looks great...where did you get that rug? I've been looking for one like that for LO's room but I was worried about the "shedding"...is it more than normal?

Thanks for posting this, I am looking to make cushions for my living room!!!

Ohhhhh...I LOVE that Etsy seller! I do find, though, that it's hard to tell from pics what color the green is in your LR and in each of the individual cushions. For that reason I'd do with 3, since all the colors are very neutral, and if it doesn't look the same in real life as it does in the online pic, it won't matter. You could get a second pillow type at a local store to incorporate your green, or go to a fabric stores with a swatch of your green color and match it that way.
