Let’s Talk Throw Pillows

Throw pillows can be an affordable way to refresh your space and add coziness to any room. They’re also one of our favourite decor items to add! Don’t over complicate or over think when selecting and styling throw pillows. Have fun, don’t be afraid to mix and match colours, patterns and texture. The flexibility is why throw pillows are one of the easiest ways to change up the look of your space.

When choosing and styling your throw pillows we tend to follow a few basic rules:
One - Pillow Size. It’s important to remember that pillows are accents to a piece, not a piece itself. On average, we start with a basic 20”x20” pillow.
Two - Number of Pillows.
Always in odd numbers, like three or five, but when styling a sectional, we suggest five or seven pillows.
Three - Pillow Fill Insert.
If you have purchased a throw pillow with a ployster fill insert, we recommend switching it out for a down insert. It fills out the cover, elevates the pillow and allows you to do the signature pillow chop.

We’ve selected and created three throw pillow combinations for you to get some inspiration from. We’ve also done a save and splurge portion for each combination.
