Styling Throw Pillows: The 3-step formula for eye-catching combos

Throw pillows instantly update a space.

Want an easy and inexpensive way to update any space? The secret is throw pillows! The right mix of color, texture, and pattern can provide an instant transformation to any space.

Owner of Pride of Place Pillows, Caroline Prince, shared the formula for the perfect throw pillow combination.

 

Choosing Colors

When choosing pillows for a space, Caroline suggested looking at the colors already present in a space to determine throw pillows. Pull from the colors in an area rug, wall papers or wall colors, or drapery so there is a cohesive feel.

Choosing Patterns

When picking patterns, think about the size of the pattern and the size of the pillow. Mixing scale will create impact. Consider stripes and solids to help balance busy patterns.

Choosing Quantity

When determining how many pillows, Caroline said to work in odd numbers – three, five, or seven pillows creates the right mix.

Pillow Inserts

When you’re buying the inserts for your pillow covers, Caroline recommended down inserts. She also said to use an insert that is two inches bigger than your cover for a fuller look.
