Fabulous Finds Friday- Pillow Edition

Per request I have decided to dedicate this post to pillows. In my own personal opinion pillows are one of the most versatile, inexpensive ways to change your decor. Not only can pillows add class and color, but they can also make a room feel more cozy. Here are some of the fabulous ideas I have thought of on how to use pillows.

1. Pillows are a great way to add a splash of color to your decor. Add a bright colored pillow or pick one with a funky print. Pair these with some calmer solids and it will brighten up any room.

2. For a more traditional look use even numbers like 2 or 4 pillows that are placed symmetrically on the couch or bed. Also I would suggest trying to stick to larger square pillows to achieve this look. For a more eclectic look use odd numbers like 3 or 5. Also try to mix up the shapes, an oblong or round pillow thrown in with square pillows will create an eye-catching display.
3. Try making your own pillows. Or if you don't want to make a new pillow but have an old pillow that you're tired of then make a cute sham to go over it. That way you're saving money, reusing what you have and getting a cute new pillow. I also found this way cute idea on Country Living for pillow covers made from old button up shirts. You can find the directions here.


All in all pillows are an awesome way to add some creativity to any room. If you have anything you want me to post about feel free to leave me a comment and I'll be sure to post about it. Happy decorating!

I love COLOR but am so scared to use it in my home..I get sick of things really fast and change my taste with the season:) I love the idea of a sham I could change them whenever the mood hit without buying more pillows! Great post thanks:)
