For centuries, pillows have been used for decoration. The Greeks, Romans and Egyptians were experts in the
art of decorating their houses with throw pillows as they add joy and warmth to people’s lives by adding flair to their homes. Decorative accent pillows will brighten a drab room, define its mood or just help you and your friends get more comfortable on your sofa – without breaking the budget.
Throw pillows can remake the image of every room in your home. Pillows are individual statements of art that co-ordinate all aspects of the room. They can be made in an unlimited range of colours, textures and fabric which can be easily coordinated with different solids, stripes and plaids. So when it comes time for a makeover, there is no limit as to what can be achieved with accent pillows – so let your imagination go.
As a rule of thumb, never decorate a room without setting aside a portion of your overall budget for throw pillows. You would be surprised at how dramatically your sofa will be accented and transformed from dull and dated to modern and eclectic with the right toss cushions.
Throw pillows which add fun, function and style to any design, can be used to decorate your favourite chairs depending on their size. Small size pillows are used for decorating smaller chairs while larger chairs require larger pillows.
So maybe all your room needs is a new atmosphere that can be created with a few decorative pillows and a little TLC.
Cushions! Wow, never thought of it as a home decor idea, but so practical when one stops to think about it! I could use some colours that contrast with my existing slipcovers together with some exciting textures and create something amazing!
Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you Rita!
It is amazing what something really basic can accomplish! I love using contrasting slipcovers on couches or chairs in the same room. Pair these up with some amazing textures in cushions and one has a very unique look
