Step aside shoes, pillows have moved into the obsession category and it’s easy to see why. Like shoes, pillows are that fun little accessory that delivers major impact to an ensemble. They’re also a lot more comfortable than a stiletto.
Despite a mix of pillows, they link together from shared patterns and color. Bring in coordinating accessories with a rug, art and coffee table accents to unify the look.
Mixing Pillow Styles
Uniforms may work for students enrolled in Hogwarts but a looser design treatment shows more originality. Begin by composing a color story, we chose yellow and turquoise, and bring in corresponding motifs. Group by size and you’ll have a compilation like no other.
The classic style of these Stamattina pillowcases are bold enough to act as decorative pillows, tying in the entire scheme of the room.
Dressing the Bed
A bed can also break away from its matching set for a more designed presentation. Keep a clean foundation, whether it be a bedspread in a simple pattern or color, and layer on the pillows in a variety of shapes and complimentary shades.
