At our warehouse, we have a wall of pillows — sorted usually by color and crammed into our racking by our skilled associate, Judy Klassen. Judy is organizer extraordinnaire and I would post a photo, but I made a mess of them yesterday pulling inventory for a job and she would not be happy to have you see it!
But back to my point! I LOVE pillows and the magic they bring to your couch! Since we have a WALL of them in every color imaginable, I should limit myself from buying any more – but I just couldn’t resist these cuties I bought this week!
Isn’t it SO CUTE! Got it for only $15 too!
Now why, is this woman getting so excited over a pillow?
A few great pillows can make magic happen on your sofa! A few super pillows and presto — great sofas look even better, and if your sofa isn’t new–they can look great! Pillows add warmth, texture, and atmosphere to a room – and so inexpensively! We love great looks on the cheap – don’t you?
These pillows were $50 on Neublack.com — love them too – but not the price tag!
When shopping for pillows, you need at least 3 for the couch and some coordinating ones for your chairs. Less than 3 looks s-k-i-m-p-y — trust me.
Pillows with a bold pattern, geometric or a kick of color can make the most neutral and dull sofa come to life!
I work with clients every day who are preparing their homes for sale — often who have VERY sorry sofas! Here’s my secret for a stylish look.
- Add color (or hide problems) with a neatly folded, nicely contrasting throw. The “flung over the back or arm” look is out – neatly folded only please! (I love the nubby ones with lots of texture and don’t do this is the heat of summer.)
- Have up to five darling pillows on the sofa — I know some interior designers like them squared off like little soldiers . . . I like them angled into the corners. To me looks a little more comfy. I usually use three or four.
Sounds too easy? Wonder which pillows to combine or how to buy the perfect ones? That’s why you need to call me!
