This blog is on the less practical side, but I thought it would be fun to mention decorative pillows and how versatile and important they are. Pillows can personalize a project, bring in lots of fun color and pattern, and add a true finishing touch to upholstery or beds. Sofas and chairs are often upholstered in neutral fabrics and textures, and pillows add lots of accent colors and pop.
For many projects, when I’m helping clients choose new sofas and chairs, or reupholstering furniture, I’ll select custom pillows and wonderful fabrics, or I’ll select prefabricated pillows from some of my favorite trade resources. Here’s a look at pillows I’ve created or selected for clients.
