In design, pillows are like icing on the cake. Cake is good without icing, but it is even better with icing. In design, a room can be pretty without pillows, however, pillows are the final touch that make a room dance. Pillows contribute to a room’s decorative geometry. One key element to the perfect pillow is to make sure it is “well fed.” It is important to make sure that the right combination of feather and down is used to stuff the pillow. Down is softer and lighter but doesn’t hold its shape well while feathers give it a firmer structure. The size of the pillow form must be two inches larger than the finished size of the cover. And lastly, treat your pillows like a piece of art. After all, they are the icing on the cake.

Great post and points! Would love to know which pillow is from whom! Thanks, Lisa.
Thanks Lisa. If you clixk the pinterest link at the bottom of the post, it will take you to my pinterest boards with links to the pillows’ origin.
Decorative pillows are a easy way to update your decor without breaking the bank. I love how a bright colored pillow can really liven up a room. Great post!
Kim,
You are absolutely right. Throw pillows can give a room a totally different aesthetic. Thanks for sharing!
