Find me pillows?

[peach]

These are my drapes in my living room.
Everything is pretty neutral - griege walls, brown sofa and dark brown leather chairs. I have a bit of that robins egg blue color mixed in with a painted oar on the wall, a throw blanket, etc.
I have a couple of throw pillows that are cream with blue grain sack stripes but I need a whole ton more as we just built a big window seat.

I am thinking of adding some navy? Or yellow? I have a very hard time mixing patterns so I need some help! I am thinking some pillows in a stripe, and some in a small geometric (nothing too
Modern though) and maybe one or two that are plain...

Halp. Cheap is also good. Etsy, west elm, ikea, Walmart, target are pretty much my options.

The window will be painted white, it's not quite done yet...

What about more cream but with an actual picture on the pillow, not just an abstract pattern.

Varying shades of light to dark blue would also give you the texture and dimension you need but would allow you to mix and match patterns effortlessly. Blue usually matches each other no problem. I am also really loving polkadots and stripes together lately. Classy but fun and easy enough to coordinate with each other.

I don't know how I feel about yellow with the greige and brown TBH.

Target actually has great throw pillows all of a sudden. I was all burned out on them for awhile, but last week when someone suggested I get some red/white grainsack stripe pillows I strolled down the pillow aisle. They're obviously not grain sack material but they were also $20.00 for the pair.

Does Kohl's ship to Canada? I love their selection lately.

My Mom is really great at pattern mixing so if you want some advice to get started she always tells me: Same pattern different colors. Different pattern same colors. It's basic but really works to get started.

Texture also helps too. I can see you loving some of those cable knit sweater pillows with the big button.

I like pillows with both texture and color - I like the blue theme and sounds like you like ocean/water too. How about some of these all together...

Yes cable knit would be totally up my alley! The advice from your mom is awesome!

Ha. She's so good at those things. It's not really what the designers "would say" as it's not always of full of depth and creativity and blah blah blah blah...but IRL in normal houses, it has worked well for me numerous times. It's a good starting point if nothing else.
