I found this helpful little article via Real Simple, which demonstrates how you can update your look in an instant by adding throw pillows to your sofa. I happen to be (a little) obsessed with pillows and am constantly adding, switching out and re-arranging the ones on my giant sectional. It’s the easiest way to freshen up your decor when you’re craving change! Here are some helpful tips straight from Real Simple’s interior design experts…

For a Traditional Look: Two or four large pillows arranged on either side of the sofa is key for balance and symmetry. The right size depends on how big your sofa is, but try pairing square pillows measuring 20 to 22 inches across with smaller squares or circles. Layering a variety of textures, patterns, and colors keeps things lively. A print and a coordinating solid will work, too.

For a Modern Look: Go for an odd number of pillows, like three or five, rather than traditional pairs. Use larger pillows, around 18″ to 24″ in size, to really showcase a pattern or solid color. Keep the color palette simple and select large geometric patterns.

For an Eclectic Look: Aim for three or five pillows to create a pleasing asymmetry without cluttering the sofa. You want your pillows to look “as if they just happened to be there.” Try two pillows in one corner with a third at the opposite end. Aim for sizes of 18″ – 24.” For pattern, you can have a couple of pillows that match or five pillows in five different fabrics, but make sure there’s at least one color in common to give the arrangement some unity.

Be sure to check out our collection of brand new pillows just added to the shop!

All the Best,

Our Weathered Gray Ellipse Table was just featured in the Washington Post / Home & Garden Section under their “House Calls” Make-over article. Readers send in a photo of their most challenging space to be critiqued by a professional interior designer. The designer then creates a new plan for the space, complete with a rendered drawing and suggestions on what to purchase. Designer Beth Gularson of GG Interiors in Darnestown, suggested placing a set of (2) Elliptical Tables side by side in front of the sofa. A big thanks to The Washington Post and Beth Gularson! This is so exciting!!!

Wish, Dream, Hope…the Inspiration Bottles make a fantastic accessory in many ways!  I staged a pair of the bottles on a bookshelf mounted above the desk in my home office to give a visual on how one might use them in a space. As you can tell, these bottle are fairly large in scale (approx. 17 1/2″ tall x 4″ diam.). I adore their clean, sleek design and think they look fabulous! What do you think? How would you incorporate these bottles into your decor?  To purchase one or all three, click here ($25 each).
