YAY OR NAY? pillows for new sofa - UPDATED with decision

This is the new sofa. In Mocha.

OK.. I HATE the 80's print of the back side of the pillows.


I love this pillow. Would it go with the new sofa?

I like those too but I don't want to be too "froufrou".

The wall is BM Bradstreet beige

Floor has red in it.

Fireplace surround is in multi color slate (with grey, rust and reds).

************************
ADDED QUESTION:

Would those pillows go too with just the 1st one and drop the bird pillows? Or should I also look at similar type fabric. Those are chenilles.

*******************
UPDATE:

This is what I bought. While I loved the birds, yes, I may get tired of them soon and they may be too girly for DH. I may return the 2nd one I got (#2 below) if I change my mind once I see in person. I love the #1 I had posted originally.

I think I will pick some of the colors like smoky blue, red, maybe orange and a tan to bright it up at bit with a few more pillows

I cant see the sofa pic, I guess its blocked at work, but I LOVE the pillows. I can see a little color swatch though and if thats the color of the sofa, it definitely goes.

Can't see the sofa pic either but I LOVE the first pillow you posted. I'm not too crazy about the bird pillows.

Where did you find the first pillow?

It's from Pottery Barn.

I like all of the pillows and the sofa. I think I would get tired of the bird pillows quickly, but I like them now.

Love the first pillow, not a fan of the birds. Maybe find two other plain pillows that have one of the colors in it from the first pillow (maybe a subtle stripe) and you could also do two charcoal or chocolate pillows as well.

Yay on the first pillow with some other solid colored pillows that go with it.

Nay on the birds

I totally agree with Jess. Love the first pillow. Play off of one or two colors from the first pillow. Very nice sofa too. Love the color.
