In the first step, it is important to know what arrangement we choose Sofa Throws for. If you want this product for the comforts of the living room, it is better to be big and soft so that you can put it on you whenever you want and use it as a blanket.

Choosing sofa throws according to the cushions

A little higher, we explained the selection of the number of Sofa Throws and its compatibility with the cushions, but in this part, we will explain its color combination in compatibility with the cushions. If you have sofa throws that completely contrast with the color of the furniture, it is better to choose your cushions in the same color as the furniture. But if you are not looking to create a color contrast, you can use cushions and sofa throws of the same color as the furniture, provided that their texture is different, for example, wool or cotton are very suitable for this. For furniture with patterned and busy fabric, Sofa Throws and simple and same color cushions are the right choice. For patterned furniture, it is better to use monochromatic sofa throws with the color of the sofa itself.
