Decorative vs. Functional: Finding the Balance with Cushions and Pillows

Finding the right balance between things is necessary. In today’s rushing world where all of us are working most of the time, we need to find the right work-life balance to maintain our mental health. Balance is present in every aspect of life. Drak balances light, heat balances the cold, winning balances losing, etc. The same rule of balance applies to decor.

A balanced decor looks pleasing to the eye. Imagine your very own living room adorned with a beautiful multicolored carpet, flower vases, and tapestries with a bold pattern paired with curtains from the Persian design family and heavy flooring. Looks too much out there right? Now paint a different picture of your living room where you have a solid colored rug, slightly designed flooring, patterned curtains but with minimalistic paintings, and solid and subtle furniture. We know that you liked the 2nd one but it still seems slightly incomplete. Now add beautiful cushions and pillows to balance out the subtlety of the furniture. Yes, we agree with you that this indeed looks aesthetic.

Cushions and pillows are an essential element in interior design, adding both, balance in style and comfort to any space. They not only have the power to transform a room but make it more inviting and visually appealing. However, choosing the perfect cushions and pillows can be a daunting task for you, another thing that might haunt you is deciding your purpose. Whether you wish to create a decorative interior or a functional one. With so many options available, you need to understand the art of selecting the right pillows and cushions for your space and purpose that complement your overall design scheme. In this guide, we will explore the key factors to create a balance in your spaces.

1. Determine the area- More than anything, the placement of your cushion pillows Each room in your house has its definition. For the bedroom, you need to get cushions in monochromatic shades to maintain the subtlety of the area, something minimal and functional that matches the color of your bed sheets. In your living room area, an empty sofa is like an open canvas. It's the place where you host your guests. Here you need to make a statement and with the festive season approaching you can enhance the aura of your space with decorative cushions featuring vibrant colors and bold patterns.
   

2. Pick the color and pattern- Colors and patterns for your cushion pillows play a vital role in their placement. The right combination of both, paired with the decor of the room ties the room together and elevates the aesthetic. Make sure to consider the existing color scheme and pattern of your room. Eg- If you have a neutral theme area, choose a rug with vibrant or contrasting shades. This will not only add balance to your space but also make each element in your decor stand out.
   
3. The texture- The texture of your cushions significantly impacts the overall ambiance of your room. Cushions with smooth and silk textures create a high-end atmosphere while knotted woolen cushions enhance comfort and cotton cushions subtly add elegance. According to the use, functional or decorative, make sure to pick the right texture and material for your cushions to maintain the balance in your decor.
   
4. The Size- Size does matter when you incorporate cushions into your decor. While pickling cushion pillows for bedroom, you can choose rectangular cushions. These go well with your pillows and support you in case you are a slightly angular sleeper. For decorative purposes, pick cushions ranging from a size of 14x14 to 16x16 depending upon the size of your furniture in the seating area. Cushions and pillows of these sizes maintain the geometrical balance in your decor.
   
5. Mix and match, Be creative- Diversity is the spice of life. Feel free to mix and match patterns and materials. A combination of solid-colored cushions with patterned ones can add visual interest to your seating area. However, it's essential to maintain cohesion in your selection. You can do this by choosing a common color or theme that ties all the cushions together. After all, balance is the key to it all.
