Decorating your interiors should reflect your personal tastes and a sense of the unique. I know we at GHID take pride in making each and every project a little different than the rest, and a lot of that has to do with our clients adding their own personal touches to each of their spaces – however, we as their designers have the opportunity to help them amp up a few decor items, one being their throw pillows.

Decorating with Throw Pillows:

You’ve seen it before, a sofa dominated with pillows in every corner, crevasse and seat cushion alike, so much so that there’s seemingly no room to sit. We say that, more often than not, pillows scattered all over your furniture piece is just not very practical.

Your throw pillows should enhance your furniture piece and the overall design aesthetic in the space. Pillows are the icing on the cake, the cherry on top and the sparkle we like to add, and potentially even customize, for every room. It’s our way of telling the color story and overarching design theme, and by adding a few extra detailed touches to your throw pillows, you have the opportunity to create the unique look we were talking about above.

Adding Trimming Details to Your Throw Pillows:

There are so many ways to add those detailed touches to your throw pillows. Flange, double flange, contrast welt, brushed fringe, flat tape…the list goes on. AND, not to mention how you choose to use these trimming details on your pillows – flat tape down both edges of your pillow, or just one? That list goes on as well…

Contemporary and Causal Decorative Trim Options:

Many times our client’s assume that trimmings mean over the top, intricate detailed bead work they’ll transform their contemporary space into an old Victorian parlor. This is just simply not the case. Today we wanted to share a few trimming options in ways we would use them.

So next time you’re looking into changing up a few pillows in your space, remember these trimming details, and the options you have when using them. The options are endless and will add that touch of uniqueness to your space.
Enjoy!
