mix and match patterns and textures

One of the most popular trends in home decor is the art of mixing and matching patterns and textures. Don't be afraid to experiment with different fabrics and designs. Start by choosing a common colour theme or palette that ties your pillows together. For example, if your living room features neutral tones, you can introduce vibrancy by selecting pillows with various patterns and textures in shades of moss and taupe. Try combining solid-coloured pillows with stripes, florals, or geometric patterns to create visual interest. Velvet, silk, linen, and faux fur are just a few options for adding texture and depth to your pillow collection. Be sure to vary the sizes and shapes of your pillows to create a dynamic and inviting arrangement!

create a focal point with statement pillows 

Sometimes, all it takes to transform a room is a single statement pillow! Statement pillows are bold, eye-catching pieces that can serve as the centrepiece of your design. Consider selecting a large, decorative pillow with an intricate design or a vibrant colour that complements your existing decor. Place it on a neutral-coloured sofa or bed to draw attention and create a focal point. To enhance the effect, surround your statement pillow with coordinating accent pillows in complementary hues. This approach not only adds personality to your space but also allows you to update your decor seasonally or whenever you crave a fresh look!

embrace seasonal themes

Decorating with pillows is an excellent way to celebrate the changing seasons and holidays throughout the year. Swap out your pillows with each season to create a dynamic and inviting atmosphere. For spring, opt for pastel-coloured pillows with floral patterns to evoke a sense of renewal. In the summer, choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen in bright, cheerful colours. For fall, warm up your space with rich, earthy tones and cozy materials like wool and suede. Finally, during the winter, embrace the holiday spirit with pillows featuring stewart or tartan plaids. Seasonal pillow covers are an affordable and fun way to keep your decor fresh and inviting year-round.

Design Tip: If you’re looking to buy pillows in-store, always buy ones that have a removable insert. This way you can replace the insert with something higher quality if you’d like!
