Colors

• You can make floor pillows one of the room's decorative features by choosing bright colors that contrast with the subtler hues of larger furniture pieces. Jewel tones like aubergine and turquoise will stand out impressively stacked against a chocolate brown sofa or placed across the floor to provide additional seating for your loved ones. If the family room is decorated in muted shades like gray or a stark white hue, eye-catching colors like Kelly green or cobalt blue floor pillows will add visual appeal to the room without being too overwhelming.
  
  

Materials

• Floor pillows covered in cotton fabric add a simple comfort to a room; these over-sized pillows are available in solid-color and patterned designs to match the room's decor theme. Gold or silver floor pillows are an elegant addition to a room adorned in mostly brown, and floral or paisley-patterned pillows will complement wallpaper or throw blankets that feature the same design. Velvet floor pillows are demure and plush, and give a space a feel of refined relaxation, regardless of color. Floor pillows made of faux fur can enhance the jungle or safari theme in the room or lend aesthetically pleasing texture to the room, as well as a comfortable seating alternative.
  
  

Accents

• You can show off even more of your decorative insight by creating floor pillows that are colorful, comfortable and accented with a border or fabric enhancements that make the pillows stand out. Add a lace strip to the center of a pastel-colored floor pillow for a Victorian style living room, or sew gold or bronze tassels on the corners of floor pillows in pronounced hues like burgundy or royal blue to give your Moroccan-themed den even more flair.
  
  

Positioning

• Since the floor pillows will be used for both style and comfort, it's best to position them where they are easily seen and accessible. Floor pillows in the front of each of the armchairs in your home office or library makes the seating look even more inviting. Two or three large pillows on either side of the sofa make for attractive breaks in texture in the main section of the room, and indicate that friends and family are welcome in the room, as the pillows provide more than enough seating.
