5 Different Types of Throw Pillows

It may appear to be a little matter, but if you want to add a few throw pillows to your living room or bedroom, it's critical to understand the various types and what they're good for. Throw pillows aren't only for décor. Rectangle pillows and bolster pillows can provide lower back support, and all of them can provide neck and head support if needed.

Below are five different types of throw pillows that will make great accessories for your sofa.

1.    Square pillows. This is the most common style of decorative cushion, and it is suitable for a wide range of applications. They can add a splash of colour to your existing decor or provide a layer of comfort to your seating space.

2.    Round pillows. Round pillows are primarily used for decoration. They usually are round and have a tufted button centre. These pillows are ideal for adding a pop of colour to a couch, chair, or bed. They can be used to provide support for floor sitting or as head and neck support while lying down if necessary.

3.    Bolster pillows. These pillows are cylindrical and available in a range of lengths and diameters. They may have flat sides or sides attached with cord trim and ribbons. These pillows are ideal for providing lower back or neck support while relaxing.

4.    Rectangle pillows. Aside from the bolster pillow, the rectangle pillow is one of the most versatile cushion shapes. A rectangle cushion can be used for decorating, lower back support, head and neck support, and even leg support. These flexible pillows can reside on your couch, chair, or even in your bed, depending on your needs.

5.    Novelty shaped pillows. The novelty pillow is the final sort of toss cushion. Their main feature, besides being stuffed with cotton, is their distinct forms. You can have a unique pillow shaped like your cat, dog, or whatever you like. A novelty cushion is primarily used for decoration, although it can also be used for support.

How to Mix and Match Colors and Patterns

1.    Bold solid for a pop of colour. If you prefer neutrals and soft colours, you can add a splash of colour with a more daring shade. This year's colour is classic blue, a rich jewel tone that will complement any decor.

2.    Mix and match prints. When it comes to interior design, it is possible to mix and match patterns. In most cases, an organic image will go well with a plaid or abstract item.

3.    Solid and complementary print. You can start with the image or the solid because they are the easiest to mix and match. If you begin with a photo, choose your favourite accent colour from the pattern and utilise it for complementary solid-coloured pillows.

Shopping for decorative pillows can be a lot of fun, especially if you know what you're looking for and how each type of pillow can add value to your environment. Don't be afraid to mix and match pillow shapes and prints for a one-of-a-kind, fashion-forward look.
