Accent Pillows Done Right - Shelter Pop

Found this article on Shelter Pop about using accent pillows. Here are just a few of the great suggestions that I have condensed for you reading pleasure:

* Pillow can not only be used to to bring color and texture but they can also be used to draw interest.Changing up the sizes and fabrics as well as the prints can completely change the look of a room, Placing a grouping of pillows on your sofa can make the room instantly seem brighter or cozier.

*Pillows are a great way to introduce prints and patterns into a space without overdoing it or committing permanently to a bold color. A neutral sofa in or bed , decorated with pillows in gray, taupes, whites and chocolates as a way to bring it to life. This is where the color, texture and fun comes in or the richness and plushness, if using a monochromatic scheme."

*It's important to consider the fabric from which the pillow is made. For example, if you have pets and young children, silk probably isn't going to be the wisest choice unless you enjoy going to the dry cleaners every week. More family-friendly fabrics include cotton, linen and similar blends.

DO:
-select a color palette
-mix and match prints using your selected color palette
-use a lot of pillows for a lush and comfy feel
-use your pillows as inspiration to find the perfect wall color by selecting a color that is very small in scale on the actual pillow

DON'T:
