Boho throw pillows add instant color to a plain sofa, bed, or floor nook without a full room redo. Our patchwork and boho prints mix warm terracotta, blue, and multicolor palettes so you can layer two or three together.
Styling boho throw pillows
Patchwork designs (in blue or multicolor) read as more eclectic and work best mixed with solid-color pillows already on your sofa. A round mandala pillow or a boho print pillow adds a single bold accent instead. For a floor seating area or reading nook, group three or four different prints together rather than matching a single pattern.
- Sofa: 2-3 patchwork or boho prints layered together
- Bed: one bold print centered against solid shams
- Floor nook: mix round and square shapes for texture
Styling Boho Throw Pillows Around the Room
An odd number usually looks more natural than an even one, so three pillows on a couch or five in a bed pile-up tend to read better than a matched pair alone. Mixing a patchwork print with a plain mandala or solid-color pillow keeps the arrangement from feeling too busy, while grouping two or three similar prints together on a floor cushion nook creates a cozier, layered corner instead.
If you're adding a pillow insert separately from the cover, a slightly fuller insert than the cover's stated size generally gives a plumper, less deflated look once it's stuffed inside and zipped shut.
Common Questions
- How many throw pillows should you put on a couch? Three is a common starting point, mixing a couple of prints or textures rather than matching every pillow to the last one.
- Does this pillow cover come with an insert? That varies by product, so check the listing since some covers are sold with a filled insert and others are the cover alone.
