Premium Pillow Source: Throw & Co.

Pillows are sort of like the earrings of a room. They are great for adding a dose of personality and color and can easily be swapped out to change the aesthetic direction of the room. Just as jewelry is used to style an outfit, a few pillows change up the look of a space. If a quick makeover sounds appealing and you need some of these impactful soft goods, then might I suggest you check out Throw & Co.

Launched by designer Meg Gabriele, this site offers fabulous pillows constructed with custom trims and pedigreed, trade-only fabrics including designs from Amanda Nisbet, Brunschwig & Fils, Carleton V, Clarence House, Katherine Rally, Kelly Wearstler, Kirk Brummel, Quadrille, Raoul Textiles, and Sister Parish. Here are some shots of what you'll find at Throw & Co.:

And I had to cherry pick a few favorites from the bunch...

Mary Pink Coral (Katherine Rally) $75 

Greyson in Navy $280

Sarah (Elizabeth Eakins) $300

Keeley $280

Heather (Lilly Pulitzer) $185

Molly (Quadrille) $200

Addison (Clarence House) $280

Melly (Amanda Nisbet) $250

Hasn't Meg put together a wonderful mix? Do you have any favorites? I love all of the fabrics and trims she's selected to create the current inventory. I'll definitely keep tabs on what's for sale at Throw & Co. because it can be cheaper to order ready-made pillows rather than having a workroom make them because most trade-only fabrics have a 2-5 yard minimum yardage order...so if you only need one pillow in a particular fabric, the minimum buy really works against you. Plus it's much faster and most of my clients like quick-turnaround!

Flower Power

I adore bold prints and while I usually fall for those of the geometric variety, lately I've been into florals. When it comes to floral prints, a little goes a long way so it's important to temper them with items that aren't fussy. I like to juxtapose bold floral prints with sleek modern elements so that the space doesn't end up being too feminine. There are tons of bright, floral pillows, rugs, and fabrics out there and below I've taken a few to show how florals can be used to add color and interest without looking girly (or granny)!
