Using Modern Throw Pillows

These versatile modern throw pillows are both beautiful and comfortable. Pair patterned pillows with solid fabrics for a balanced display, and don't be afraid to mix it up. Most designers recommend selecting a palette of four to five colors per room and adhering to it when choosing your throw pillows. Following a color palette helps your space appear intentional and relaxing.

You can use simple, solid contemporary throw pillows to update a minimalist space. Or abstract modern throw pillows to add life and color into a modern chic area. With so many pillows to choose from, the options are endless.

Below, we've highlighted a few of our favorite ways to decorate with modern pillows in the bedroom and living room for your inspiration:

Living Room

Modern decorative pillows can dress up a plain couch or minimalist living room in moments. Choose modern accent pillows that work well with your color palette and arrange them symmetrically for the best results.

For example, you could use modern grey throw pillows, modern yellow throw pillows, and modern white throw pillows in a living room with a grey, white, yellow, and blue palette.

Bedroom

Adding a few mid-century modern throw pillows to your bedroom can make it feel chic and stylish. We recommend picking a few trendy throw pillows for the bed and any seating in the bedroom. A contrasting comforter can make the pillow designs shine.

For example, you could place grey, brown, and tan modern throw pillows on the bed with a white comforter and pine bed frame.
