Here are a few tips;

- Start with organic prints that have earthy/natural tones, that naturally flow together. This is going to be your basis. These colors are either white, brown or another neutral color. This will allow you to create that high-end look. Do not use more than 5 colors.
- Move to geometric. Continue placing the pillows that have either lines, grids or any other repetitive pattern. Play with the different scales of patterns to add contrast and balance out the organic print.
