The most challenging part of the decorating process often comes when the finish line is in sight. The final touches\u2014that last layer of personality\u2014are what make a space feel truly finished. And while finding the right seating for a space is difficult, finding the perfect pillow can prove to be just as challenging. We’ve rounded up our team’s suggestions for picking the perfect throw pillows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MATCHY-MATCHY<\/h3>\n

Sometimes the most elegant option is the simplest. Try selecting the same fabric for your chair and pillow, especially if your chair is dressed in a bold pattern like a black and white cabana stripe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

COMPLEMENTARY IS KEY<\/h3>\n

One of our favorite tricks of the trade: take the main color of your chair’s fabric and select a complementary tone. If you don’t know where to begin, look at a color wheel<\/a>, find where your seat’s color lives and look across the wheel to find an appropriate pillow color. Some classic pairings, as illustrated by the Clare V. designs<\/a> shown above, include greens with reds, blues with oranges, and purples with yellows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TEXTURED CONTRAST<\/h3>\n

Another classic designer move: mix contrasting textures. For example, if you have a smooth leather on your chair, opt for a highly textured pillow like this sheepskin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A POP OF PATTERN<\/h3>\n

If you’re starting with a neutral canvas, the world is your oyster. Shopping for a throw pillow<\/a> offers an opportunity to experiment with pattern. Go wild and consider trying a trend you’ve been eyeing. After all, a throw pillow is less substantial and more affordable than a piece of furniture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PUNCTUATION POINT<\/h3>\n

If you’ve fallen in love with a patterned chair, use an accent pillow<\/a> as a way to accentuate one of the colors in the motif. This will create a cohesive yet intriguing look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
