Clash, Mix, Match

The Pillow Talk You Didn’t Know You Needed

Forget the beige-on-beige lounge look. Life’s too short for bland sofas and sad scatter cushions. Pillows aren’t just for comfort — they’re your ticket to bringing personality, sass, and serious colour crush energy into your space. And guess what? The “rules” about matching? We’re tossing those right out the window.

Start with a Base, Then Go Bold

Your couch is the stage. Keep it neutral if you want (cream, grey, soft oatmeal tones), then let your pillows be the headliners. Think hot pink gingham flirting with teal fish prints. Stripes can sit happily next to florals, and checks don’t mind chilling with geometrics. If it feels a little “too much,” you’re doing it right.

Play with Scale and Shape

Mix up sizes — a big, square cushion paired with a cheeky rectangle or even a round pillow adds instant depth. Don’t forget piping or fringe details; they’re the accessories of the pillow world. You wouldn’t wear one piece of jewellery, so why should your sofa stop at one statement?

Colour is Queen (and King)

The trick is not to fear the clash. Pair highlighter brights with earthy tones, pastels with jewel shades, or pick one colour and run it across different patterns. That electric magenta check? Pair it with a moody olive or a punchy tangerine. Think of your pillows as a cocktail menu — the more adventurous the mix, the better the vibe.

Break the Rules, Make Your Own

Forget “everything must match.” Forget “two of each.” This is your home, not a showroom. If your pillows make you smile when you flop onto the couch, you’ve nailed it.

Everyday Normal Takeaway

Your pillows are the quickest, cheapest way to remix a room — and they’re meant to be lived with, squished, and loved. Don’t save your colour for “special occasions.” Lean into bold choices every day, because nothing says main character energy like a couch that refuses to blend in.
