DIY: Inspiration for Throw Pillows on a Denim Couch
2:54 PM
Here are my denim couches.
We have had them since we were married 4.5 years ago, and will have them a little while longer while the hubby is in school. They are super comfortable, hide stains from my kiddo nicely, and are BLUE. I am constantly trying to figure out how to make the couches look less country and more modern/chic. Here is a little bit of inspiration for what I could possibly do.
Please Please honestly tell me what you think!! If there are any ideas out there I would love love love to hear them!
And the colors that I think might look good are:

Here are few of the ideas for what the pillows might just look like as well.

OK, they are not ALL going to have ruffles and flowers, but a couple will I think. What do you think??

the more ruffles and flowers the better!! super cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove them all. I'm anxiously awaiting a tutorial because I have been wanting some throw pillows for my nursery and haven't found any that fit the bill, and these are exactly what I've had in mind. As far as color, I would probably do a mix of white and gray. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pillow pictures of the 5 are 2, 3, & 4. I'd do white and light blue, but all of the colors look good.
ReplyDeleteYou should do mustard yellow and white. Mustard yellow is so in right now:)
