Should I keep these couch pillows?

The pic is a little dark, but the couch is actually an olive green ultrasuede.  Thoughts?

I really like the pillows.  They are more interesting than solid color pillows and add a good amount of color to the couch.  I also love your coffee table!

Thanks!  You can't see the bottom in the pic, so it's this one from Pier One:

i think they look great (i love your couch, too, btw).  what is your concern with them? why are you asking--you must have something that is bugging you about them.

Here's a more 'big picture' view:



Well, we've been looking for pillows for this damn couch for 3 months!  It seems like everything was too small, the wrong color, not firm enough, they only had one, etc, ad naseum. 


I found these at TJMaxx, but there was also another set there that I liked.  They were all sage/olive green, with a kind of patchwork/grid patter on the front and each of the squares was a slightly different color.  Does that make sense?  Anyway, I like them but thought they might look a bit drab with green on green on green.


I like these, but I guess if I was creating 'perfect pillows', maybe they'd have some brown in them .... or something ....

I see some rust or an orange-y shade of pillows with your couch!  It would bring out the color in your painting and candles.  That would be great for your little windfall and would add a great punch of color to your room!  Even just pillow covers to go over the pillows that are there so you can change it out when ever you feel like it.

i really like the lighter color--i like that it contrasts with the dark couch so they stand out a bit more.  totally keep them!

Oh I love them! I have the same exact pillows but in yellow/brown/white. You should totally keep them.

I like them! It helps the couch stand out a little more! And the whole room is pretty as well! I like it!

Yes, rust pillows!  What a great idea, MissMee.  It'll bring down those pretty colors from your painting and the contrast will make your lovely couch just POP!  I totally agree with changing out pillows, too -- I do it with my bed pillows every week, so I never get tired of the same ol' thing.
