Decorating with Pillows
Home decorating with decorative pillows is a simple and effective way to enhance the overall look and feel of a room. Decorative pillows come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, making them a versatile and flexible decorating tool.
There are many different types of decorative pillows, including throw pillows, accent pillows, lumbar pillows, and euro shams. Throw pillows are the most common type of decorative pillow and are often used to add a pop of color or texture to a sofa, chair, or bed. Accent pillows are smaller and often used to complement throw pillows. Lumbar pillows are long and narrow, making them ideal for use as back support on a sofa or chair. Euro shams are large square pillows that are typically used to decorate a bed or to provide additional back support on a sofa.
When it comes to choosing materials for decorative pillows, there are many options to consider. Cotton is a popular choice for its softness and durability, while silk and velvet are ideal for adding a touch of luxury. Linen and burlap are great for a rustic or casual look, while satin and silk are ideal for a more formal or elegant look. A designer tip is to use different fabrics on the front and backs (with the same color theme). You can change up the look by just flipping the pillows.
Decorating with multiple pillows can be a fun and creative way to enhance the look and feel of a room. Here are some tips for creating an effective and beautiful display:

Sizing the Insert
Sizing an insert for a decorative pillow involves measuring the pillow cover and choosing an insert that is slightly larger in order to ensure a full and plump appearance.
Tips for Sizing a Pillow and Stuffing
Before you buy an insert, measure the width, length, and depth of your pillow cover. It is important to choose an insert that is slightly larger than the cover, typically about 2 inches larger in each direction.
If the pillow will be used for comfort or as a cushion, choose a firmer insert. If the pillow will be used primarily for decoration, choose a softer insert like feather and down or the more preferable microfiber pillows.
Once you have your insert, begin by placing it inside the pillow cover. If the insert is too large, you may want to go to a insert that is less fuller or go to a smaller size.
To ensure a full and plump appearance, fluff the insert and adjust the filling as necessary. You may also want to use a pillow fluffing tool or shake the insert to help distribute the filling evenly. A common technique is to chop the pillow on opposite sides and then do the same on the other two sides. Doing this repeatedly will cause the insert to fluff up.
Once you have stuffed the insert into the cover, close the cover using the zipper or other closure method. Make sure the cover is snug around the insert, but not too tight.
If the pillow does not look as full and plump as you would like, add or remove filling until it has the desired appearance. Sometimes adding a little batting in the corners will do the job.

Remember, the goal is to have a pillow that is both comfortable and attractive, so take the time to ensure that the insert fits well inside the cover and has the desired level of firmness. With a little care and attention, you can create beautiful and functional decorative pillows that will enhance the look and feel of any room.
