7 Chic Sofa Looks From HGTV Magazine Editors

"Since my kids use pillows as ‘islands’ when the floor turns into ‘lava,’ I never bothered to swap out the old pair I had. Pillows in different sizes and patterns reenergized my sofa, and now our family has the coolest islands in town." — Ridge Carpenter, Art Director

"My black-and-white pillow blend was due for a fun refresh, and a classic slipcovered sofa is a great blank canvas. I went in the opposite direction with pumped-up colors inspired by nature. The greens and yellows are like a citrusy cocktail in pillow form — instant happiness!" — Kate Doherty, Market Director

"I wasn’t set on a color palette when I moved in and my solution was white boucle pillows — a bit too quiet. My new saturated blue, chevron and pom-pom picks are so peppy, my mom keeps trying to steal them!" — Kathleen Knowles, Assistant Editor

"Sun-filled rooms aren’t easy to come by in New York City. I needed pillows that would help my taupe hand-me-down sofa and the whole living room feel less dark. Bluish-gray and neutral tones did the trick." — Caroline Alkire, Online Editor
