Designer Throw Pillows: Making Your Space Uniquely Beautiful
Robyn EdmondsHey there!
Let's talk about something that can instantly transform any room from "meh" to "wow" – designer throw pillows!
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and everything just feels perfectly put together? Like someone really took the time to create something special? Well, that's exactly what designer throw pillows can do for your space. They are a key element in creating a cozy and inviting home, as we discussed in our guide, How to Create a Cozy Home with Handmade Accessories.
I'm so excited to share this complete guide with you today because designer pillows are truly one of my favorite ways to elevate a home's style. And trust me, once you understand what makes these pieces special, you'll never look at throw pillows the same way again!
What Makes a Throw Pillow "Designer Quality"?
Let's start with the basics - what exactly sets designer throw pillows apart from the ones you might find at a big box store?
Well, it comes down to three main things:
1. Superior Materials
The fabrics used in designer pillows are simply luxurious. Think of our collection featuring premium linens, sumptuous velvets, and high-end cotton blends that not only look amazing but feel incredible too.
2. Expert Craftsmanship
Each pillow in our designer collection is thoughtfully constructed with careful attention to detail - from perfectly matched patterns to flawless stitching and elegant finishes.
3. Unique Designs
Designer pillows, like the ones you'll find in our latest arrivals, often feature one-of-a-kind patterns or artistic elements you won't find anywhere else. They're created to be statement pieces!
Quality Details That Matter
Let's get into the nitty-gritty of what makes these pillows worth the investment:
Fill Quality
The best designer pillows, including our selection, use high-grade down or down alternative fills that maintain their shape and comfort. No sad, flat pillows here!
Construction Methods
Look for details like:
- Hidden zippers
- Double-stitched seams
- Pattern matching at the seams
- Knife-edge or flanged edges
These little touches make such a big difference in how the pillow looks and how long it lasts. You'll find these quality details in every designer throw pillow we offer.
Choosing Your Perfect Designer Pillows
Here's what to consider when selecting pillows for your space:
Size Matters
- 20" x 20" - Perfect for sofas and chairs
- 22" x 22" - Makes a bold statement
