4 FAVORITE PILLOW SOURCES

If I could give ONE piece of advice when it comes to home design, it would be this: PILLOWS CHANGE THE ROOM. That may sound dramatic, but truly, designer pillows have the ability to elevate a space. Today, I am sharing my favorite affordable pillows that mimic high design pieces. I shop these sources often. You can find many of these pillows in our home!

First, let's talk about a few things that differentiate pillows. When shopping high design pillows, here are a few things to look for:

• Fabrics:
  • Linen - linen elevates a space and brings texture
  • Wool - Ty is allergic to wool so we do not have wool pillows in our home, but I wish we could! Thanks a lot,  wool allergy! ;) 
  • Unique textures - killim, indigo, mud cloth, cactus silk 
• Down feather inserts (these inserts are excellent and are very affordable)
• Fringe - (like the lumbar pillow in the first photo)
• Tassles
• Vintage - I love to incorporate a vintage (or faux vintage) visual in each pillow vignette

​
Here are my all time favorite pillow sources! 
​

1. TSHAJ on Etsy

I have been ordering pillow from Tshaj for years. The blue pillows you see in the first picture of this post are from this shop. They are one of a kind, from Thailand. 

2. LUVTEXTILES on ETSY

I recently discovered this shop when hunting for a specific pillow for a real estate client of Ty's (who I am helping design a space). I am SO impressed with this collection. I love vintage pillows that are perfectly imperfect. It was tough not to "add to cart" a few times while creating this blog post!

3. H&M

I ordered the first 5 of the 9 pillows shown below for our bunk room reading bench.. Ty is not a big fan of the quirky bunny pillow, which might make me love it more, ha! Gotta keep things interesting! 
​

4. TARGET

Target has some excellent pillow options at unbelievable price points, specifically through their designer collaborations. I bought several pillows from the Studio McGee collaboration (had I known they would sell out so quickly, I would have bought more!). The Hearth and Hand line by Joanna Gaines has some great pillows, too. Hopefully they launch another collaboration too! Often these beautiful items are less than $29, often at the $20-25 price point, which is hard to beat! 

There you have it! I highly recommend a mixture of 3-5 pillows on each sofa or bed, mixing patterns. I like to incorporate one solid, one or two stripes, and something vintage to create balance, incorporate textures and depth. 

Happy shopping!
