Few things have the ability to give a room an instant makeover like the throw pillow.  It’s not difficult to imagine the infinite variety of sizes, shapes, patterns, textures, and themes pillows come in.  Throw pillows are easy to store, easy to change on a whim, and even easy on your budget.  By following a few simple suggestions, you can make choosing the right pillows simple and fun.

First, use pillows to pull together other colors in the room.  Paint chips that match your furniture are an ideal reference to take with you when choosing throw pillows.  Avoid repeating patterns found in the room, but instead focus on specific colors

Try an assortment of pillows in the same color scheme.

If you can sew, choosing your own fabric to cover a plain pillow is a great way to get exactly the custom look you want.  Even if you can barely sew a button, however, you can still pick out fun throw pillows to change the look of a room with the seasons.  A splash of color for spring or summer, leaves for autumn, or anything else that invokes the feeling of a certain season while complementing or tying together elements already present in the room.

Whatever style you go with, have fun and try something new.  You’ll be surprised at how much of an impact a different set of throw pillows can have on a room!
