Thanks, Porter! Definitely appreciate all your help and NOT trying to ignore your suggestions, promise! I feel like the fur pillow is just not really my style. And I love the darker teal colored pillows but feel they look too dark when in I put them in the room. Wish I could have you come see the room in person! I sometimes feel like the photos don't reflect accurately. :/ i definitely agree that I need a lumbar or two in the mix in a neutral color, just need to find the perfect one in the perfect color! I promise once I do I will take the geometric print pillow off the couch! I just feel like it needs more than a couple pillows since it's so big! (Also had a thought... that floral pattern pillow I have comes in a lumbar - possibility?) ok so earlier today I bought a third blue pillow and cream/tan throw blanket at C&B, and I bought an off white throw blanket at Pier 1. Looking at the throw only (since the pillows are still a work on progress), which do you like better? here's the C&B throw... its cream with tan along the edges and tassels on the ends. Super soft... And here's the Pier 1 throw... I'd say this is more of an off white/oatmeal, not as much cream... it also has tassels on the end... Thoughts? And are the three blue pillows too much blue?

Junco-Thanks! Bronze/gold/silver/glass add a few more “colors” to my base accessories! I’m trying to give my mother-in-law a good idea of what to look for (she wants to buy me some gift she for the home) and want to give her an idea of basics she can’t go wrong with. That way, I can choose my own seasonal themes and not feel bad if I do a different theme the next year.

Good suggestions here. I do like the color though! It doesn't look like mud. :) I do think you need more color contrast. The gray pillow looks too similar in color to the comforter. It's like you tried to match and it didn't work. Either try removing it, or replacing with something that ties into the rest of the room. I'm guessing the right color is not gold here, but something more related to rest of the room or perhaps white with some of the same dark colors in it. The floral pillows in front don't do anything for me personally but if you like them, keep them.

If your sofa is yellow, you probably don't want yellow pillows. If your sofa is gray, perhaps you would like a pop of yellow on the sofa. And if your idea is to hang that nice grouping of art OVER the sofa, then you probably don't want prints on your throw pillows (or at least, prints of the same scale/designs). I would focus on a couple of pillows that are simpler, but have great texture, such a velvet with some sheen to it, and a solid pillow with tassels. Maybe white, or black would be nice. As for across the room over the TV, (you said "behind the tv", which sounds unusual, so not sure what that means), but if you have a wall like this with smaller grouped art, then I would choose something large for the opposite wall. Maybe a black and white or one of those liquid acrylic pour paintings, in your palette, like this: Or, it might be better to go in a different direction than just the "modern" vibe of abstracts/patterns and go with something else. I came up with this, since it reminds me of a painting my SIL did. You see how wildly different these are, and may not be right in your space. You haven't shown us your space, so don't know how "tight" your palette is, or whether your design style is more modern, or what. Are you a college student, or parent with a houseful of kids?
