How to place cushions on the sofa: 5 tricks

A frequently asked question when it comes to decorating a space is: How to place the cushions on the sofa? The arrangement of these is essential to renew the appearance of your living room to create that feeling of comfort that every good sofa should offer.

Who doesn't enjoy curling up on the couch to enjoy a movie, immerse yourself in a book, have a drink, chat, or just take a nap?

The sofa is not only a place to rest and entertain, but also a social meeting point. And from a design perspective, it is the central element of any environment in which it is located .

Today at Pummba we want to share with you 5 tricks to keep in mind when positioning the cushions on the sofa. Prepared? Let's take a look at them!

1. First we position ourselves

A great way to start decorating your Pummba is by placing the sofa cushions from the corners towards the center.

We recommend using larger cushions on the edges and smaller ones in the central part.

If your goal is to create a more spacious atmosphere in your living room, cushions are your perfect allies: Place them only at the ends of the sofa and keep the center clear to achieve this effect.

An extra tip! It is not necessary for the cushions to always be perfectly aligned. Try placing sofa cushions at an angle, adding a touch of dynamism and style to your Pummba .

2. Size does matter

The proportion of the cushions for your sofa is essential when choosing them. A back cushion is a safe bet for most modular sofas.

It's fun to mix cushions of different sizes , as long as the difference between them isn't too big and they all stand out equally on your sofa.

The important thing when decorating with cushions is to achieve a visual balance, making your Pummba look cuter.

And if you're wondering about the shape, square cushions are the most common , but that doesn't mean you can't experiment by combining square, rectangular and round shapes to make your decoration more varied and dynamic.

3 . Don't go overboard with the quantity!

There is a very simple rule to determine the quantity of how to place the cushions on the sofa, it is to always use one or two more cushions than your Pummba can accommodate.

For example, for a two-section sofa , opt for three cushions; and for a three-section sofa , choose at least five cushions.

Have you noticed we recommend placing cushions on the sofa with odd numbers? It is because it is one of the keys to creating a visually interesting space.

Although you may think that even sets are more symmetrical, in the world of interior design odd numbers are excellent for capturing the brain's attention , generating more dynamic and attractive arrangements.

4. Freaking out colors and patterns

Now, when selecting the colors of your sofa cushions , it is crucial to take into account the color of your Pummba and the elements that accompany it in the place: curtains, rugs, blankets, walls, floors, etc.

The cushions do not necessarily have to be the same color as these elements, but they do have to harmonize with tones that complement the environment.

If you want your living room to have that distinctive and elegant touch, combine cushions of different colors (Be careful! Don't go overboard with more than three different shades), or mix cushions of a single color with other prints.

If you opt for different prints, make sure they share at least one color in common . This trick is great for creating a stylish environment that will make your visitors envious.

5. That it fits well and is comfortable

This is the last point and also very important, since a good cushion must not only be attractive to the eye, but it must also be comfortable .

Now, the secret sauce of a good cushion depends on these factors.

Quality fillings

Choose cushions with high-density memory foam fillings that not only maintain their shape, but also provide the necessary support for those moments of relaxation on your sofa and adapt to the different postures of your body at different times on your Pummba .

Pleasant to the touch

Let's be honest, a fluffy and soft cushion is very cool, and that is why the texture of your cushions plays a crucial role in comfort.
