Throw pillows are a great way to add that extra pop of personality to your bed. They can be seasonal and easily switched
out depending on your mood and ever-changing décor preferences. We love layering these pillows for added
texture and dimension. We’ve teamed up with Havenly, an online interior design service,  to give you some rules to follow when decorating with throw
pillows.

Mix and Match patterns appropriately. If you are
pairing patterned pillows with patterned bedding, make sure the patterns
complement each other.  Pair big prints with smaller patterns, and use a
color palette that meshes well. If an all
patterned pillow is too much, use solid
pillows in the back to tone down your look in a
stylish way. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different looks to find
that perfect pattern that pulls your room
together.

Go Bold. If you want to mix an array of colors, start by choosing your favorite piece of decor. Next,
match your pillows to the color featured in the chosen piece. Keep your colors consistent to keep your room from
feeling overwhelming.

Make them the focal point. If you love the look
of all white bedding but you want more to your room, throw pillows can be a
great focal point. Use your white bedding as
a blank canvas and make your throw pillows the center of attention. Not only will this keep your décor looking polished, but
it gives you the opportunity to change it up whenever you feel inspired.

Play with shapes. Don’t feel constricted to
stick to just one shape of pillow. Play around with different shapes! Circles, squares, and rectangles work well together and can add playful dimension to your
bedroom.

Stick to the “odds” rule. Pair pillows
in groups of odd numbers such as 1, 3, or 5 for the best formations. This
technique can help keep your pillow décor trendy and easy on the eyes.
