Design 101: Decorative Accent Pillows!

The collection of pillows below are all found in the Travis and Company showroom in Atlanta. For more on this great company, see our preceding article on all the great fabrics they sell.  The pillows are all from companies in their showroom and hopefully you can get an idea or two!

This set of coordinating pillows are perched on an antique French sofa. The fabrics are textured linen weaves with beautiful trim. The floral is trimmed in a wide braid and the plaid pillows are trimmed in a ball fringe.

Both of these pillows are in a beautiful flocked pattern, trimmed in tiny fabric trim that outlines the pillows.

This floral print is surrounded by a raised velvet pattern in cream in a modern boxed style. All trimmed in small brown velvet braid.

One pillow in a beautiful tone on tone green velvet with fringed trim and the other pillow is silk striped fabric sewn in a unique pattern, trimmed in green glass beads.

I love this pillow! The unique modern print is trimmed in a small coral braid. There is just a hint of coral in the pillow. Designer secret: Choose the smallest amount of color in the fabric and play off of that color, for instance the coral.

Two pillows in a charcoal modern pattern and mixed with a silk stripe with fringed trim. Notice the modern pattern on the sofa. Who says modern has to be dull!

This beautiful linen fabric is trimmed in the same tone in a wide braid.
