At Home: 'How to' for couples blending decors while keeping the peace
In some ways, it was simpler before. When Joy Lane Hicks wanted to buy a new piece of furniture or do some redecorating, she says, "I would start with, 'Hey, honey, I have an idea,' and he would drop his head, groaning and moaning."   She'd decorate, and eventually he'd learn to love the finished product. But much has changed in the decade since Hicks and her husband got married and bought their ...

Decorative Throw Pillow

Other than a fresh coat of paint, there is just no easier nor more cost-effective way to completely change the look of many rooms in your home than to add some new cushiony comforts with a few casually tossed and thoughtfully selected decorative pillows.

I have had three couches in my life over the last decade or so, but you’d think I redecorated my living room monthly. What’s my secret? Among my collection of personal home décor items are about 40 fabulous decorative throw pillows that suit my changing moods, changing seasons, and ever-changing mind! Whenever I get bored with the look of my room, which is about as often as I get bored with my wardrobe, I just change it all up super-quick by rearranging my decorative throw pillows and by playing around with the different colours, textures, shapes, arrangement, and styles available at FashionWindowTreatments.com.

My sofa is definitely a one-of-a-kind conversation piece, like a chameleon. It’s the cozy center of our home’s comfort and the place for all of us to come together, talk, play Scrabble, or snuggle up under a coordinating blanket. Your sofa, too, can add sparkling new life to the same-old-same-old whenever you redecorate this easy way. I like to call it “pillorating”. Allow me to elaborate upon my easy schemes.

I have been collecting decorative throw pillows for many years now. It’s much cheaper than buying new furniture, and it’s so much fun! Some of my good stand-bys are in solid colors that coordinate easily with all sorts of patterns. I have several classic damask prints, some in silk, some with fancy beaded borders, cottons, satin, and even a leopard print one that is reversible with solid black on the other side. I mix new with vintage, and the latest patterns with Granny’s floral cross-stitch. It’s an eclectic masterpiece! This same concept can be used in other areas of the home, such as the dining room using chair seat cushions or the bathroom by changing the patterns on your long shower curtains.

My favorite decorative throw pillow of all is in gorgeous black velvet, appliquéd with red roses and bright green velvet leaves that set off the red and draw the eye as a good work of art will do. This throw pillow adds so much texture to our otherwise ordinary, somewhat drab sage green velour sofa. And it cost a fraction of the price of a new piece of art!

I move my pillows from sofas to chairs, and even throw them in pile on the floor for some extra fun seating! Sometimes I use the sofa pillows upstairs in our master suite. And when guests come to stay, I dress up the guestroom, getting creative by designing a haven of delight for our houseguests. All with decorative throw pillows! I try to choose colors and styles I know will suit the tastes of our guests, and it always works!

I get excited just thinking about all the possibilities of looks that are achievable by simply adding a few new decorative throw pillows to your home’s collection. When you tire of them, simply store your decorative throw pillows in plastic until it’s time for a change again. And then, when you bring them back out later, you’ll love all the looks they offer all over again!

Recently I have started thinking about decorative throw pillows yet again, because I bought a mid-century Danish modern, low-riser sofa in turquoise and teak. Sounds like a hard thing to work into your room’s décor without having to start from scratch, right? Nope! All I need is ONE colour to tie it all together, and I can achieve this by finding decorative throw pillows with turquoise beads, piping, or fabric. Voila! A completely new room that’s all tied together! It’s going to look so designer chic. I can’t wait to find that next perfect decorative throw pillow at FashionWindowTreatments.
