Guest Picks: Twenty Patterned Pillows For New Spring Looks
Tip one: Use one large pattern, one medium sized pattern and one small or solid pattern.
Tip two: For fluffy pillows, put an approximately two inch larger insert than the pillow cover. For example, use a 24-inch pillow insert in a 22-inch cover.
Tip Three: Foam inserts are fine for outdoor throw pillows but inside your home always use down and feather inserts for a more lush look.
