I definitely must have a love of all things nostalgic because I am a sucker for needlepoint and embroidered decor accents. My grandmother was an amazing woman who had a such a talent for needlepoint, crochet and embroidery, and I have pieces that she created in my small space. Full of color and interest, embroidered pillows are a fantastic addition to any room.

Check out these 20 pillows that would look lovely in your own home. — Rebecca from loving. living. small.

One of my favorite design elements for a small space is using and enjoying negative space. You don't need to fill up every single inch of your space. This throw pillow repeats this idea by showcasing the pretty embroidered pattern on only part of the pillow — very cool indeed.

Don't you love piping? It's such an awesome design detail that can make a throw pillow even more special.
One way to make a small space feel balanced is by integrating lines into the mix. This pretty blue throw pillow with embroidered lines is a neat way to continue this design element in a space.
Like the blue pillow above, here's a version with a rounded embroidered pattern. This style would work perfectly in a space with round decor, like a round mirror or coffee table.
