Update d茅cor with a few contemporary decorative pillows. It is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to change the look of a room. Decorative pillows come in so many different shapes, sizes and colors that there should be a combination that goes with any type of furnishings and makes the room look magnificent.



Color

Decorative pillows can enliven a contemporary room with bold color or streamline the furnishings with clean lines. Use throw pillows as a form of art. Modern pillow fabrics come in bold geometric designs, stripes, botanicals, and beautiful prints. There are even those that are hand painted to give an even stronger artistic flair to the room. Brighten up a neutral chair or sofa with a few artistic pillows in each corner, or stack them up between the seating cushion and back to introduce color into the d茅cor. Incorporate colors from the room into the pillow configuration. Draw a sage green from a vase in the room and place a sage green pillow on a cream colored chair. On the other hand, use contrasting colors to create drama. If your main color in the room is blue, use peach-colored pillows to create excitement. This will pull everything together in the room and make the finish look professional.



Metallics and Contrasts

Contemporary furniture has clean lines and is often embellished by chrome and other metals. Decorative pillows, covered with metallic fabric to match, make a strong statement in a room. Choose from silver, gold and bronze or find patterned pillows with a little metallic thread running through the fabric. Stay true to some contemporary design using solid colored pillows against a solid colored sofa or chair. White pillows look clean and neat with black furniture, but for different flavor, try red pillows instead. They will infuse color into the room. White pillows lend comfort to a white sofa, especially when using different textures.



Layering

Mix and match pillows for a layered look. Stick to square and rectangular pillows for the contemporary style. Place the largest pillows at the back and gradually place smaller pillows in front. Experiment with positioning of pillows. They all don鈥檛 have to lie on their flat side. Try turning them to sit on a point, making a diamond shape instead of a square. Mix different textures by combining silk with upholstered pillows.



Stripes

Pillows with stripes can make for a delightful optical illusion in the room. Place the stripes horizontally for a small or thick sofa to make it look more streamlined and turn the stripes up and down for a sofa that sits close to the floor to make it look a little taller. Mix and match the pillows with solid colors to emphasize the design.



Once the look gets to be a little old, change it up by using new pillows instead of buying new furniture. Decorative pillows are an important tool to create atmosphere with any kind of furnishing, but it embellishes contemporary style with luxury and comfort.
