PILLOW power

Pillows allow you to change the whole tone and feeling of a room in seconds. You can introduce color to neutral upholstered pieces, add a hot accent color to feel more up-to-date with current trends, or experiment with multiple patterns by layering several different pillows in contrasting designs. Pillows finish out a room, and often two or three pillows in elegant fabrics like silk or velvet are all it takes to transform ho-hum into wholly gorgeous. An abundance of pillows signals ease and a sense of luxury, and nothing makes a room feel cozier than a series of soft pillows and throws spread casually about.

Pillow shapes have gotten very interesting-no longer simple square but circular, oblong, triangular, rectangular, rolled, oversized. Unusual pillow shapes add interest to basic upholstery. And let's face it, daring patterns, fabrics, and strong colors become easier risks to take when you're not covering an entire sofa. Pillows enable you to be a little wild with your decor, and they're where you take the design risks that pay big dividends. Basic transitional furniture becomes truly smashing with fashion-forward pillows. Changing pillows seasonally gives you even more options, too. For winter try animal prints, deep jewel tones, crushed velvets. For summer use stripes, fresh cotton, chintz, or silk. Juxtaposing styles for impact is another design trick, like formal velvet pillows on a canvas loveseat-or plain ticking on an elegant settee. Bullion fringe, tassels, cording, and other designer touches are well worth the prices and deliver a high-end look.
