Many interior designers will tell you to avoid following trends, but if there’s anywhere you can embrace trends in your home it’s with smaller decorative elements like your couch pillows. Changing up your sofa is the perfect way to give it a new lease of life, and make it feel brand new, even if it’s a few years old by this point.

Pillows are brought in to introduce color, texture, and form in a living room but it doesn’t just stop there. Pillows also add warmth, movement, and layering to a room, so it’s no surprise that changing them up can have a real effect on a space.

These days we are bombarded with all kinds of styles and shapes of pillows but there are a few styles and designs that are on every designer and homeowner’s checklist. If you want to give your living room a new and on-trend look, then take a look at these trends designers are loving right now.

10 COUCH PILLOW TRENDS FOR 2023

If you’re wondering how to design a modern living room, while lights and furniture do make up the heart of the space, don’t forget that the best-finishing touches are from pillows. These add that much-needed layering, texture, and depth to the space. Use these little tools to add a pop of hue to the space, or even change up the room’s look but in a non-permanent way.

ROUND PILLOWS

Round and curved shapes have an inherent softness to them. For a cozy living room, a small, round pillow can do wonders to soften a space to break up a straight-lined sofa.

These little pieces are great for adding a little pop of color to a room that already has other furnishings such as a throw or large square pillows. If the shape entices you, consider long, rounded bolsters. These can be used across the seating or even along the handrest for a super comfortable feeling.

‘It’s always good to consider the room as a whole and the sofa’s color and style before adding pillows,’ agrees Susan Spath, principal designer of Kern & Co. ‘It is always nice to mix the sizes of the pillows using rounds and kidney pillows. Right now a lot of modern sofas are shown with round ‘ball’ pillows. They add a fun touch to the sofa.’
