4.  How about lots of pillows on your bed for color, comfort and interest?  I keep at least 7 on mine at all times.  They look incredibly inviting when I enter the room.

5.  If your pillows are plain, try  embellishing them with trims, tassels, ribbons etc.

7.  Pillows are designed to fit all design styles, so choose the perfect fit for your mood or theme.  There’s Formal, Traditional, Funky, Fun, Asian, Moroccan, Casual, Pet-friendly, Elegant, Fluffy, Smooth, Satin, Silk, Embroidered, Ruffled, and the list goes on and on.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for; there’s a fabric out there for you to create your own.

I love this image from jpm design’s blog post.  The gray and yellow really work well together and the room exudes a casual elegance that I’m fond of.  Take a look.

 

Pillows are fun and easy accessories,  So go for it without restraint when you update yours.  After all, they are easy to replace and can enhance your chosen theme or mood.  If you need fabric and trim to make your own, we have many to choose from and can bring samples right to your home.
