Top Ten Throw Pillows

Lately I’ve been obsessed with toss cushions because I’m selecting fabrics for the pillows that will be on my new sofa and in the bedrooms. I never design a room for a client without them. Here are my favourites:

1. Love this big floral for the drama and the way it pulls together the kelly green and turquoise.

2 & 3. Here are two of my favorites on the same sofa by Eileen Kathryn Boyd. The raspberry cushions with the one inch flange in a contrasting colour and the long one in the light and dark green. If you are not crazy about pattern, it’s a great way to add more than one colour on the same cushion.

4. In this space designed by Tobi Fairley in House Beautiful, I love the knife edge cushions with the flat braided trim for contrast.

5. I also love cushions with bands and contrasting buttons like the ones I designed for this client in Yaletown.

6. These solid, knife edge cushion are more contemporary than the the standard 1/4” piping found on most off-she-shelf pillows. I love the way she has the pink on one side and orange on the other.

7 & 8. I really like this way of dressing a bed. Keep the pillows in the back that you sleep on and have the decorative European shams in the front with a rectangular cushion in a contrasting pattern. Fabulous!

9. Wide striped fabric sewn like this blue and white one is another look I love. Keep in mind, you need a lot more fabric for your workroom.

10. Last but not least, I also adore this look (also by Sarah Richardson), the square pillow in white with the contrasting square insert!
