How to Nail Decorating With Throw Pillows
How to Nail Decorating With Throw Pillows
If there’s one thing you should know about Eloise Trading Co., it’s that owners, Melissa & Betsy have a pillow addiction — and if you’re here, you totally understand why. Pillows are beautiful, affordable and plentiful, and accessorizing with pillows is one of the easiest and quickest ways to infuse style into just about any room in your home. But when faced with our wall of pillows of all shapes and sizes, how do you choose? The snuggle is real. Here’s a quick guide:
-
Play Matchmaker: Pillows should complement each other, not be mirror images. They might share a common element like color, texture or pattern, but don’t think you need to limit yourself to a collection of solid colors — or worse, play it safe with the set that came with your sofa. Don’t let the options scare you! Unlike changing your paint color, swapping out curtains or even changing up your wall art, adding new pillows is a low-commitment way to get a new look. Want to know more? Here’s an in-depth guide to choosing colors and patterns.
-
Play with Size and Shape: An 86-inch-wide sofa calls for four fabulous pillows to reach its peak aesthetic potential. But they shouldn’t be the same size and shape. The scale of pattern matters, too — you don’t want your pillows to compete. Get more tips on picking the right sizes for your space.
-
Prioritize Quality: We all have that one pillow that’s been with us for a decade or more — and it probably didn’t come from a big box retailer or discount shop. A high-quality cushion with a high-quality insert from a design store like Eloise Trading Co. will serve your space for as long as you want it to. Don’t see a color or pattern that fits your home? We offer custom pillow creation in a vast selection of fabrics and trims — like Thibaut, Madcap Cottage, Laura Park, Magnolia, Schumacher and Bassett. See why fill matters.
