Even with nice furniture, a tapestry, a painting, and a mantelpiece, some living rooms still seem cold and sterile. If you want to add life and color to your sitting area, then throw in some throw pillows! Pick colors, pillow style, and design style, and you’ll be sitting pretty with fashionable pillows before you know it.
Color says a lot in a room. There’s a whole philosophy behind choosing certain colors in certain places. Of course, you’ll want to pick colors that are complementary to the room you’ve already designed, but you should also consider how colors affect people’s psychology. Warm hues, for example, like red or orange, make a room look contemporary, energetic, even passionate. Cool hues, especially blue, make a room calm and comfortable, where people are more productive and more open. It has even been said to help lower a person’s pulse and blood pressure! Whatever you do, though, you’ll probably want to avoid yellow as a theme color to the room. It can irritate the eyes, which produces frustration among adults and a lot of crying among children.
A popular design is the bolster pillow, which is an intriguing style to guests and looks good on a bed or sofa. You can also get pillows with micro-beads, which are often very comfortable without being less fashionable. Whatever you do, pick a pillow style that fits in with the shapes in your sitting area.
Pillow designs are another thing entirely, though. Recently, retro styles have become more popular again. Many pillows have returned to the vintage look, with lots of embroidery and frills on them. You can write messages like love letters, or simple the words “Love” and “Peace” on your pillows.
Throw pillows are a great addition to a sitting area, making it more luxurious and relaxed. They are also a quality decoration, adding color and life to any room, especially a dull one.
