Finding the Right Throw Pillows
The right pillows in your living room or bedroom can add illuminating accents that create a more luxurious and elegant atmosphere.
You can’t go wrong with earthy tones. This pillow from Pier 1 is around $30 and has a lot of detail in its flower embroidery. It’s also very colorful, which adds to the aesthetic appeal. This type of pillow would sit perfectly on top of a neutral toned couch. The fabric is also a key component to which you should consider–this type of soft, carpet-y feel wouldn’t suit a leather couch. The fabric has to be a little similar.
Alternatively, for instance, this plush, red pillow (also from Pier 1) is a great choice for a fancier couch or for a silky bed spread that already has a lot of work on it. You don’t want to overkill—so if your couch or spread already has embroidery or detail on it, then go for plain pillows. It’ll still add a lavish touch. You can even mix and match if your furniture is really plain. This one’s on sale for only $20.
Another great choice on sale is this fun, colorful square embroidered throw pillow on sale for $22 at Pier 1. This would look great on a dorm bed or on a college apartment’s couch. The squares add a chic, modern look and the colors make the atmosphere more fun.
Finally, if you want to go for something a little different, yet still classy, you should go for this ruffled pillow for $38 at Pier 1. It’s a bit pricey but you’ll get a very unique look for your living space. I could see this placed on top of a classic, white couch. It adds an unusual and vintage charm to your living room.
