Looking for vintage i.e. 1930-1950s pillows for my new retro lookin sofa. It's called dallas steele (which is a slate blue/grey color). In tryin to keep with my depression era vintage home decor I'm wonderin what color pillows for the sofa to use? I thought white..which really stands out nice against the color but then I have a hubby and two dogs and white might not be white for too long :) haha Any thoughts would be welcomed...for all your vintiquey people out there like myself...I'd love to hear from ya :) Thanks in advance! :D
Bright orange or maybe lemon or raspberry cusions. Not all together but anyone of these colours would look good. If you have towels teatowels clothing or anything in these colours just place them on the sofa and stand back and see if you like the colour against the sofa before you buy the cusions. I know this sounds strange but if will give you a rough idea on what it would look like in the cusions. Patterns look better as well and add another dimention to the sofa If it is too much pattern just have one or two pattern cusions and a couple of plan ones with a colour picked out from the patten ones. Hope you understand my meaning. Also a good idea would be to google: home decour what colour goes with blue/grey sofa
Hi, okorder / Decorate your room with Vintage style accessories Choose some Vintage style wall decals, photograph frames and other decorative items. Use Google to see the pictures of such items.
Yeah, white might get dirty pretty quick. :) You need to select an accent color, that you can use not only in the pillows, but in at least one or two other decorative accessories in the room (lamp, artwork, carpet or throw rugs). Some ideas for accent colors would be bold orange, daffodil yellow (not bright), lime green, pale blue, black. See website below for some retro type home accessories, including a few throw pillows.
