Textile Tuesday

I've had a lot of requests about throw pillows lately. Last week when I decided to start Textile Tuesday to switch up my usual Trending Tuesday a little, I knew that I just had to share my thoughts and love for throw pillows.  Who doesn't love a good throw pillow? Come on. They're great.  They make your space look and feel just so much more comfy than without.

A few things I always stick to when it comes to throw pillows:

  • Always start with two base pillows - I love 20" x 20" squares.
  • Always end with one pillow that is slightly smaller but don't be afraid to get fancy with it! Sequins, bows, a pop of color or even a crazy shape {like a bolster pillow}
  • For sofas - Don't be afraid to frame the sofa with 2 base pillows and throw in an uneven amount of pillows.
  • For beds - Lay you're standard bed pillows down flat and stack them if you have 4, then add your throws on top and layer them down to the center of the bed.
