Square Throw Pillows

03/21/14 | Etsy, home decor, West Elm

THANK GOODNESS IT IS FRIDAY!!  Yes, that entire sentence did need to be in caps.  The weekend is finally here.  This has been one of the busiest weeks I can remember and even though I am a huge believer that sleeping eight hours a night works wonders this is one week I can tell you I fell short of that goal Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and last night.  Guess who has a date with their pillow tonight?

In writing this last night I almost wanted to stop the post right here, I found the strength to continue. (Mainly because I had already created the collage). In my current apartment I have a small tan couch that I do not use that often but if I did, and perhaps in my new apartment I will,  throw pillows are key.  I am sure by the time I actually move in late Spring you all are going to know what my apartment will look like you won’t even want a tour.  But until then, you will continue to get sneak peaks.

I may be jumping the gun a bit on this one because finding furniture to fit the space will certainly come first and then decorating will come second but after finding four pillows I absolutely fell in love with this week on Pinterest I decided they needed their own post.  (They also made me think of naps, which was very dangerous) I love the idea of mixing patterns and colors but am still traditional in that I want my throw pillows all to be the same shape.

I will definitely go for an odd number, like three or five, rather than more traditional pairs, especially as they will not match, however, I will be going for a few big, statement pillows.  Many interior designers say that big pillows create a cleaner look and that is something I am definitely going to be striving for.   Right now these are my 15 favorite throw pillows, obviously not all together:

Sparkles and Shoes - The Best Throw Pillows

Elephant Linen //  Rhapsody Feathers Chevron  // Coral Laal Decorative 
Orange Tribal Band //  Gold Sequin Waves  // Yellow Metallic Chevron
Natural Fez Print  //  Lismore Lime  // Teal Pebbles
 //  Baby Blue Sail Away  // Navy Cross Hatch 
 //  Navy Coral  // Purple Lattice  
I do realize this is the second post this week that has been organized in a rainbow chronology but to those of us with a bit of scattered OCD putting things in rainbow order is like alphabetizing, there is a soothing effect.  But in all seriousness, many of these pillows are out of my budget and even if they were not, $250 is crazy to spend for an 18″ x 18″ pillow, I know.  These are an inspiration so while I am shopping over the next few months have a reference! 
Here’s the start to what I am sure is going to be the cutest apartment ever!

    I love the scalloped one and the metallic gold chevron. You are not alone my friend, I would have definitely color blocked them too OCD at it’s finest 🙂 Have a great weekend!

    This is exactly what I need. I have a tan couch and it look sooo boring. A throw pillow is just the pop of color to make it look a bit more presentable. I really love the orange and khaki print! Perfect for livening the living room 🙂
