Nothing makes a chair or sofa more inviting than a heap of decorative throw pillows. There are many styles to choose from - tailored, tasseled, buttoned or beaded - in all sorts of fabrics and prints. There can never be too many!

Whatever the style selected, decorative throw pillows can complete the lived-in look of the furniture grouping selected.

Buttoned Decorative Throw Pillows

Buttons are used not only to fasten the pillow fabric together, but also to add that extra decorative touch through contrasting texture and colors. They emphasize rather than hide, their fastening function and are easier to attach to decorative throw pillows than zippers. Buttons can be a range of materials, from wood to nubby fabric to metal, their style and colors dictated by the style of the space they decorate.

Trimmed Decorative Throw Pillows

Fabric borders, piping and frills sewn into the edges of toss pillows can create an interesting effect to an otherwise plain pillow. Contrasting materials and colors can add an extra dimension that makes for an interesting combination of colors and texture when pillows are combined on the surface of a chair or sofa.

Outdoor Throw Pillows

When made with weather-resistant material, toss pillows can be used as outdoor throw pillows to add comfort and color to a grouping of outdoor furniture. Outdoor throw pillows make very effective decorative pieces to add warmth and comfort to outdoor wicker, metal or wood furniture.
