Filling the sofas with pillows do not overdo it: the optimal amount is from 2 to 6. Otherwise, you will have to throw them on the floor to sit!
Decorative ornaments are recommended to be sewn on only one side of the pillow, so that it is convenient to lie on them. It is better to make a pillowcase removable, so as to wash it.
What color should pillowcases be? They should overlap with the main color of the room. If you are looking to relax in the living room, then choose a material darker than the main tone, and if you want a festive atmosphere in the room, make pillowcases of light and bright colors.
