Pillow Talk

Does your couch have a case of the “borings?” Is your bed beyond blah? Good news! There’s a simple way to remedy all these problems – pillows.

Pillows can add color, depth and interest to your couch, bed, chair, or even your floor.

Pillows are perfect for the person whose tastes are always changing. You can change them with the seasons or on a whim.

When it comes to pillows, there aren’t a lot of rules, but here are some pointers.

• Make sure the size of the pillows is appropriate for your furniture. Pillows that are too large will overwhelm your furniture and take up sitting space. Pillows that are too small won’t make the impact you are hoping for.
• When adding pillows to your bed, keep in mind that you will have to arrange the pillows every day after you make the bed. If you’re already crunched for time in the morning, go for just a couple decorative pillows.
• Don’t be afraid of color. You can always change your pillows so go ahead and be daring with your color or pattern. Just make sure your patterns don’t clash. For an easy way to use a bold pattern, choose two pillows of the patter and a few solid colored pillows to coordinate.
• Don’t forget about the floor. A few large pillows stacked in the corner can add extra seating and a splash of color to a beige floor.

If you have a case of the borings, the blahs, or the beiges…get up and get some pillows.
