Designing With Pillows

Designing With Pillows - reviews and guide

Craving a new look in your living room or den? There is no need to replace all the furniture. For a quick makeover, you just need to add some pillows. It's amazing how fresh a room can look by simply changing out this one accessory.

Pillows run from simple to extravagant, and the style you'll choose depends on the look of your sofa. If you have a solid or subtly patterned fabric on the couch, you can go bolder in the pillows. For a busier sofa, choose one color in the pattern and highlight it by getting solid or tone-on-tone pillows in that hue.

Pillows come in every shape, from the common square or rectangle to the more exotically shaped oval. You can even get pillows custom-shaped to highlight a theme in the room or bring out a shape in your sofa's pattern.

For additional seating in the room, scatter oversized pillows around the fireplace or coffee table. This adds to a cozy, relaxed atmosphere.

Adding attractive accent pillows can also give old chairs a new appearance by hiding deterioration, adding texture, and giving the entire room a splash of color. Choose fluffy, comfortable pillows, and an old chair can become your new, favorite resting spot.

Don't be afraid to mix shapes, sizes, and patterns. Contrasting shapes, colors, and sizes is what brings interest and excitement to a family room.

Pillows, of course, also finish off a beautiful bedroom. Decorative shams, pretty pillowcases, and coordinating accent pillows are an impressive part of an inviting bed design. Mix and match with your comforter, dust ruffle, and accent throw.

Want to know the designers' secret for plumping a pillow? Gently slap the right and left sides, and then give it a swift karate chop to the top for definition.

Redecorating a room is quick, easy, and fun when you use pillows!

Today's question is soft pillows vs firm pillows. What you do rather. No idea why I thought of this, I guess it is a little look into how my simple brain works. Either way lol.
