Pillows as an item for interior decoration

Sometimes, looking around and examining your home, you may find that it lacks a hint of warmth. This is easily fixed with decorative pillows. They will help to decorate the interior and give it a special, home-like cozy atmosphere.

Someone may consider that the pillow has a place in the bedroom on the bed and it should serve only in order to make it more comfortable to sleep. Some people do not think so and successfully ennoble the pillows of the interiors of not only bedrooms, but also living rooms and even kitchens.

How to decorate the living room with pillows

When choosing decorative pillows for a living room, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

1. living room size;
2. furniture size;
3. color saturation of space;
4. texture of fabrics.

Based on the size of the living room and furniture itself, you can choose the size of the pillows that will fit most harmoniously into the interior. So, for example, it will be impossible to furnish a small living room with oversized furniture. Most likely, in such a living room there will be miniature sofas and armchairs. Therefore, decorative pillows should be small in size. The maximum pillow size in a small living room can be no more than 50 * 50 cm.

If the living room is spacious with a wide sofa and armchairs, then it is quite possible to place decorative pillows on them up to 70 * 70 cm in size.

It is very important to take into account the color saturation of the space. If the interior is designed in fairly calm colors, then it will be quite possible to dilute it with colored pillows with bright prints.

If the interior of the living room is quite expressive and fully saturated with bright colors and details, then it is better to choose pillows that will have something in common with the details of the living room. It can be pillows to match the sofa, curtains or walls. Such a solution will help maintain the style of the living room and will not create the impression of a designer vinaigrette when several styles, colors and directions are randomly mixed in one space.

The texture of the fabrics should also be given attention. If the furniture is covered with velor or linen, then it will be more appropriate to make decorative pillows from the same material. This move will also help preserve the unity of style.

In addition to the decorative function, pillows in the living room can be used as a soft ottoman. Putting 1-2 pillows on the floor, it will be convenient to sit at a low coffee table.

Decorative pillows in the bedroom

General rules for choosing pillows are the same as when choosing them for the living room. Here, the overall proportions, the conformity of the textures of fabrics and color schemes must also be observed.

Decorative pillows in the bedroom can carry a functional load. So, for example, on the bed, sitting comfortably with a pillow behind your back, you can read a book. And if decorative pillows will be used for these purposes, it is important to provide that the back of the pillowcase is made of fabric resembling bedding. Such a decision will make the evening reading of the book more enjoyable, since the front side of the pillow is not always made of fabric, which is pleasant to touch with the skin.

Decorative pillows for a nursery

Decorative pillows in a nursery are not only an element of the interior and a way to give comfort to a room.

For a small child, the pillow can be made with the print of your favorite cartoon character or in the form of a soft toy. In adulthood, children can use pillows for games. Therefore, due attention must be paid to the strength of seams and fabrics, so that a beautiful decor item during the next game does not turn into a room strewn with down.

If we talk about wishes regarding colors, textures and sizes, then the children's room in this case falls into the category of exceptions. Here you can combine the incongruous, giving a flight of design thought a chaotic flight. There remains only one rule: the main thing is that the child is comfortable and pleasant to be in such an environment. And how the child will dispose of these elements of decor - this is his discretion. Pillows in a nursery are no longer just pillows. They turn into castles, barricades and other game details in the children's imagination.

Using decorative pillows in the garden

Garden furniture is made of moisture resistant materials and does not include upholstery. But, one cannot fail to notice that spending time on such furniture is rather inconvenient. In order to make relaxing in the garden comfortable enough, you can also use pillows.

Sizes, colors and textures can be for every taste and color. Indeed, in such pillows the most important functional component. Decorative pillows for garden furniture should be comfortable enough, and the material from which they are made should be easy to wash and dry.
