How HGTV's Emily Henderson Adds Instant Flare To A Boring Sofa
By JAHAIRA ARTHUR
HGTV star Emily Henderson recommends decorating the back of a sofa. This area, often pushed against a wall or hidden by a table, is a canvas for pattern and color.
Remove the detachable pillows and tuck your desired throw blanket into the base of your sofa. Drape the excess behind the furniture for a new backdrop and return the cushions.
Henderson also shared some of her best design tips that you can apply for picking a throw. “Texture is so important and helps add character to a room,” the creative expert said.
The throw blanket on your sofa should add dimension stylistically. Chunky knit blankets, faux fur fabric, and pieces with pom poms or tassels are textured throws.
She suggested a color for your throw that pops against neutral tones and complements warm shades. “[Blue] is calm and inviting while still being timeless and not trendy,” she said.
