Home Décor: Cushion Ideas for Family Room

Home Décor: Cushion Ideas for Family Room - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. A lot of things need to be considered when you are picking cushions and pillows for the family room. Most important is the fabric. You want fabric that is durable and comfortable. You do not want to snuggle up to something that is going to scratch you or not be comfortable. Also you might want to think about what type of cushion you are picking, if it is going to be something that your going to sleep on or sit on or relax with; that is important, because it will probably be tossed around in the room a bit, so you do not want to have problems with the pillow inserts. Also you might want to pick a throw for those times when you feel chilly and you need to snuggle up to a blanket that will keep you warm. When picking elements for the family room, if you are worried about things being spilled or dropped on the fabric, you do not need to worry, because all fabric comes with a protective stain-resistant finish on them. Once you wash them you lose that, so you may have to refinish it with, for example, something that is like a Scotch Guard. This pillow here is great for putting behind your back if you are sitting on the couch. It is a nice long pillow that two people can sit up against, and it fits nicely in the crease of a sofa. This pillow here is great for the end of the sofa, also snuggling up to if you are watching a movie in the evening. You might want to have a throw on your sofa, so that in case you get chilly, this one is really comfortable and nice and soft. When you are choosing sizes of pillows, think about what you can use. Do not pick a small dinky pillow that is just for decorative look. You want a pillow that you can actually use. So think about something that is 16x16 or larger, or perhaps a rectangle that is 20x14. Do not go with something that is 12x12, because it is just going to be tossed on the ground. Those are my tips for choosing pillows for a family room.
