Wish you could instantly change the look of a room? Throw pillows are an easy way to transform the way your room looks and make it more comfortable. Here are some tips to give your rooms that designer look:
– To add interest, the fabric on your pillows should be different from the upholstery fabric on your furniture.
– Tightly woven fabrics (like cotton and linen) in similar colors work well in modern environments.
– Velvets, silks, and jacquards look great in classic settings.
– Fringed pillows are a great way to vary the texture on your pillows.
– Choose feather-and-down fillers over polyester fills. They are more comfortable and look more natural.
– Choose an odd number of pillows: three, five, or seven usually work best.
– Select a matching pair of pillows and place them on the outside of your sofa and work your way in. We like 22- inch squares on the outside, and smaller rectangular pillows in the center.
– Choose colors and patterns that complement your decor, but vary the scale and intensity of the designs.
– Use pillows to introduce a pop of new color to your room.
– Use pillows to brighten up darker spaces.
– Use pillows in your bedroom: they add texture and color and they’re great for reading.
– Spice up your outdoors with indoor/outdoor throw pillows.
– Bring your travels home: pillows are great reminders of places you’ve visited …
