Let's have a pillow talk! Pillows are like the jewelry of a room. Pillows give you the option of creating understated beauty and appeal or adding a big statement to a room! Cushions and pillows in any space introduce color, texture, and form. It's time to talk about throw-pillow rules: what the guidelines are for pillow numbers, pillow placement, and pillow selection for color and texture.

Pillow size and shape

Decorative pillow sizes range from 14 to 20 inches square and from 12 by 16 inches to 16 by 26 inches rectangular. If you desire a modern look choose throw pillows that are uniform in size, shape, and color. For those who favor a more traditional or eclectic vibe, go for an assortment of pillow sizes, and shapes.

Pillows color palette

Colour palette hues for pillows can be determined by the colors you like, the style you are going for, Another tip is to pick a color from the artwork or rug in the space.

Pillow arrangement

When it comes to decorating with accessories, think of an odd number of pieces. This applies to the number of pillows on the sofa as well. For example, grouping pillows in a three or five pillow arrangement.

Choosing pillow inserts and changing pillows seasonally

Another tip is to change pillows seasonally, which means pillow covers are the best way to go when it comes to changing pillows every season. Choose a pillow insert 2 inches larger than the size of your pillow cover. So if you have a 20-inch pillow cover you will need a 22-inch pillow insert. Pillows are the easiest way to upgrade your home decor and they are a great bang for our bucks!

Chopping pillow!

There is a trick to chopping pillows for a finishing touch. When chopping pillows, chop in the middle not too hard and then lift up the corners of the pillows. It's just a fun little detail to add a designer’s touch.

To get the perfect chop a good down pillow insert works best in a pretty pillow cover!
