We get it—buying furniture can be tough when you’re on a budget.
But prioritising your savings doesn’t mean settling for furniture or a home you’re not in love with. And when it comes to your living room, there are many exciting ways to style an affordable sofa and make it look more chic. Whether you’re on a budget or saving for your next big holiday, the only thing missing between an affordable sofa and your dream home is a few expert styling tips and sofa decoration ideas!
In this blog, we’ll cover how to make your home look more expensive by dressing sofas up with just a few cushions and throws.
How to Style a Couch the Right Way
First things first, there is no wrong or right way to style a couch.
Some people love maximalist, eclectic styles and funky patterns, while others prefer to style their couches with minimal accessories and neutral tones. Whichever you prefer, the trick is to try and style your couch in alignment with your vision and in a way that matches with the rest of your home.
Luckily, this doesn’t have to be expensive. By dressing your sofa up with a few cushions and throws, you can easily take an affordable sofa set and make it look chic with just a few inexpensive items!
How to Dress a Sofa with Throws and Cushions
If you want to make your sofa look more effortlessly more expensive and styled, these sofa decoration ideas are a great place to start. Whatever your budget, adding some cushions and throws is an easy and inexpensive way to take any sofa up a notch.
But remember, your style ultimately comes down to preference, and there is no wrong or right way to dress up a sofa with cushions and throws!
-
Choose a colour palette
Some interior designers recommend picking 2 or 3 complementary colours that match the rest of your room. Neutrals keep it calm, while bold and vibrant tones bring a touch of fun and drama.
-
Mix textures
Textures are great for bringing a sense of depth and warmth to a space. Whether you choose velvets, knits, leather, or linens, combining different textures instantly brings more life and character without looking overwhelming – especially if you’re on a budget!
-
Layer your cushions
If you love the look of having a few cushions, try choosing 2 or more sizes, and place the largest at the back and the smallest at the front. Interior designers love using interesting shapes such as a mix of square and rectangular cushions, which instantly elevates the look to make it seem more expensive.
-
Place throws with intention
Like the cushions, throws are best kept in complementary colour palettes and textures. They’re the perfect tool for making sofas more cosy for you and making the sofa itself look even more chic. Try draping it over the arm, folding it neatly across the seat, or letting it fall casually for an effortlessly styled vibe.
