18 Fun Throw Pillows for Every Room

by on 1,435 Comments

After months of searching, I finally decided on a sofa for the in-progress playroom.  My husband kept questioning my need for a sofa in there, but I was adamant that we adults needed a place to sit.  I came up with a great solution, but you’ll have to wait to see it.  I have some “alterations” to make to our new sofa – you know that I can’t just leave something alone.

I want to add a few throw pillows to the new sofa, but I’m going to have to make sure they are the right choices.  Because I know that they will always end up on the floor, used as trampolines, or supports for a blanket fort, I need them to be durable.  Something tells me that my kids are going to really put the “throw” in throw pillow.

Though my great pillow search of 2012, I’ve coming across a ton of fun pillows that I wanted to share with you.  There are really some gorgeous patterns and creative ideas out there today.  Take a look for yourself.

For the Quirky pillow lover – These are pillows that will make you smile every time you see them.  Each of these pillows are handmade and promise to be different than anything your neighbors have on their sofas.

1.  Plush Bacon and Eggs Pillows  2. Customizable Texas State Pillow (other states available, too)  3.  Mr. Maple Tree Pillow  4. Woodland Squirrel on Bicycle Pillow  5.  Cone Dog Pillow

 

For the Detailed pillow lover – These pillows are made exciting by their details.  Embroidery work and fun fabric textures take these a step beyond ordinary printed pillows.

1.  Hedge Embroidered Pillow  2.  Round Smocked Vintage Inspired Pillow  3.  9 Square Pillow  4.  If…Then Pillow (check out the back)

 

For the Patterned pillow lover – These patterned pillows give a nod to worldly culture while staying modern through the use of color and gradients.

1.  Masai Mara Ikat Pillow  2. Red and Black Ikat Pillow  3. Black Chevron Pillow  4.  Blue Ikat Pillow

 

For the Unexpected pillow lover – These pillows make a statement without being over the top.  Their designs keep them interesting and the color combinations make them unique.

1.  The Curiosity Shoppe Pillow  2.  Patch Woodgrain Pillow  3.  Marimekko Kurpitsa Pillow  4. DIY Vintage Brazil Map Pillow  5.  Patch Owl Pillow

What’s your favorite type of pillow?  Do you go for the unexpected or do you prefer something more simple?  Do you have matching pairs of pillows, or do you prefer to mix and match?

    I love to change my pillows every season. Its such an easy & inexpensive way to make the room feel brand new. I usually go for bold patterns with a little piping to pull it all together. Though I haven’t yet decided what I am going to do this fall… I guess I better get busy!

    I love pillows! As for which one I’d go with ….it would depend on the room, really! For a playroom, something fun, whimsical, and definitely durable! One I wouldn’t feel so bad about if it got markers or snot on it LOL So it definitely needs to be able to be thrown in the washing machine if need be! I wouldn’t spend a fortune on such pillows, either. Now in my family room it’s all about comfort and yes it can purty too! I love details and patterns, that’s for sure! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!

    Wow those pillos are realyl beautiful. I love pillows and cushions, they really brighton up a room and make seating areas more comfy. At one point I had so many cushions on my bed that there wasn’t enough space for me to sleep on there!

    All these great posts about chevrons walls on your blog are so helpful. I just went through the “how to” page and your original bedroom post too. I am getting ready to paint a chevron on the wall that goes up my stairs. It will be seen from both the downstairs and when you are upstairs. I’m a little nervous about how it will look but that wall has stumped me since we move in 7 years ago. It needs some fun. Luckily I am not afraid of heights since I will be on a two story ladder (with my hubby’s help). If this does not work I will be eating crow! Wish me luck.

    I am so sorry Lindsay, I have no idea how I ended up posting about your chevron wall on your pillow page. I must have hit the home page, oh well… I love the pillows too 🙂

    I personally find that this platform exceeded my expectations with accurate charts and stable performance. Great for cross-chain swaps with minimal slippage.
