4 Ways to Decorate with Accent Pillows
Deciding on size, shape, colors ,and patterns, and the overall style you are trying to achieve are the first steps in the accent pillow rental process. Brook Furniture Rental has made it easy with pre-designed, coordinated room settings through our home furniture rental packages, but you can also rent furniture à la carte and truly express your personal style. Here are four ways to get your space styled with accent pillows.
Select Your Color Palette
When choosing your color palette, consider the other décor that you are using in the room, such as rugs and artwork. There are no hard and fast rules regarding mixing patterns and solids as long as the hues complement each other. Bright, playful patterns will result in a fresh, modern feel, while more subdued colors are perfect for a classic look. If you’re starting from scratch, a good way to begin is by selecting a sofa style, then browsing for accessories that will work together to create a harmonious color scheme.
Add 'Em Up
In a modern environment, most design experts recommend to group accent pillows in sets of odd numbers, such as three, five, or seven. In working with non-traditional interior design, there is more flexibility in mixing things up a bit with textures and styles, like natural weaves and faux fur for an eclectic look. Again, keep in mind the style, size, and color hue of your sofa and your chosen color palette.
Arrange Your Pillows Thoughtfully
For a more traditional look, the one-to-one or two-to-two (cushions on each end of the couch) is a classic design treatment—preferably two solid pillows for the ends, paired with two patterned ones. Arrange the largest pillows in the far corners of the sofa with smaller pillows on the inside. Coordinate with accessories, ottomans, and accent chairs in matching fabric and patterns in both modern and traditional styles.
Mix Up Patterns & Sizes
Don’t be afraid to mix pillow types by combining rectangles with round and bolster styles. When renting accent pillows for both a sofa and accent chairs, consider them as a matching group regarding the palette and patterns to create a harmonious effect.
Try New Textures
In working with a neutral palette, choosing accent pillows in attractive, natural textures and fabrics is a perfect alternative for creating a sophisticated, polished look. Pillows can vary in size, and fabrics but should maintain a color scheme similarity, such as off-white, chocolate, and shades of taupe.

We’ve made the rental process fast and easy, so you can get the furniture you need to be delivered when and where you want it.
