Consider to Choose a Pillow Before you Buy

This simple pillow buying guide will help you choose the right pillows for all the right places in your home. A pillow can change the look of any room. They come in big sizes, small sizes, and all colors you can think of. There are various things you need to consider before you go on a hunt for pillows. Here is what we think are the most important factors when it comes to choosing pillows for your home.

Which Room Needs Pillows?

When choosing pillows for your home, make a checklist of what room needs pillows. You might be wanting to make a living room cozier, or you might be looking to dress your bed in comfy, luxurious pillows. You don’t just have to choose the traditional places to place pillows but think outside the box. There might be a bench in the hallway that needs some color or a chair in the corner of the kitchen that needs brightening up.

Which Size Will Go Best?

After you have decided which rooms need pillows go through and think about how many and what sizes you are looking for. If your bedroom has a huge king size bed in the middle of the room, then choose oversized pillows with small pillows at the front. Pillows come in various shapes and size so try to choose the best type for each room. Small sofas will get lost under a pile of large pillows, and large sofas will look silly with twenty small pillows on them. Also, consider the shape. You don’t want your bed covered in circular and heart-shaped pillows because it will look terrible. Choose one shape and stick to it. Make sure the sizes don’t have huge differences either.

What Color Scheme Are You Looking At?

The color scheme of your room and the color of the pillows are more important than you think. The color can either add vibrancy to a room or make it look dull. Depending on the current decor and purpose of the room, you can choose from a huge range of color schemes.

If you want to brighten up a room, then go for brighter colors. Pastel colors have this effect without looking too over the top. If you want a room to look warm and comfy, then go for earthy colors like brown, cream and even olive green. If you have a room which has no color in it except white for example, then go with something bright like yellow, orange or even blue. You can also combine colors like blue, white and gray. Orange, yellow and white or even purple, lilac and cream.

What Will Material and Pattern Suit the Room Best?

You don’t just have to go with plain colors either. You can go with textured pillows made from silk or velvet. A lot of pillows have covers with flowers on or even writing. The pattern and the texture can also change the way the rooms looks. It also means you can add your own personal touch to your home. Silk pillows for the bedroom, velvet for the living room and cotton for the children's room! Be creative and choose with care and you can change your entire home around.
