Pillows are one of the first things you see when entering a room. It is an easy way to finish up a room to make it look special with a big impact. If you have a simple fabric on the sofa, no one will notice, but add exquisite fabric on the pillows, now they are front and center! When you think about completing an indoor and outdoor space, you think about accessories. Pillows are that final touch that make a room feel complete. They can add color, texture, and comfort that will welcome you and your guests. Arranging pillows, pairing color combinations and choosing great texture and patterns are easy as long as you follow a few simple rules. The key is balance.
Something to think about when choosing pillows for a room.
- Use an even number for a more traditional, and classic design. They look more symmetrical and visually balanced. But be careful not to display them too symmetrical so they don’t look forced.
- For a non-traditional rooms, or a little more modern use an odd number. Asymmetric grouping create a more eclectic and contemporary feel.
- Mix different types and styles, for example, a bolster, lumbar, square, and round for interest and drama.
- Your pillows should be different sizes in relationship to the size of the room, the number of pillows, and the size of the furniture
- Add fringe. banding, or welting on the for custom details.
- Large floor pillows are another option for comfy ambiance and offers more seating
- Use different colors. Choose colors that speak to you. You may want to match a painting or an accent rug. Good design and color repeats itself throughout the room.
- Use different patterned fabric and textures to add to the rooms visual space.
- Pillows don’t always have to be placed on a piece of furniture, put them in a wicker basket or on a bench.
- Change out your pillows for different seasons and holidays
- there are 3 choices for fill: down (the best), no-allergen/poly, and poly/down mix.
- Finally, if in doubt…go for 3!
