Types of Decorator Pillows
There are different types and shapes of decorator pillows. Here are some of the most popular.
Knife Edge Pillows
Knife-edge pillows are not uniformly thick. Usually, the edges of a knife-edge pillow are thinner than the center of the pillow is. You can easily identify a knife-edge pillow by looking at the seams around the edges of the pillow. If there is only one seam that holds the front and the back of the pillow together, and the seam runs along the outer edge of the pillow, it's a knife-edge pillow. Keep in mind that the seam might be embellished with fringe or other trim.
This type of pillow construction is popular, because it is simple and versatile.
Box Edge Pillows
As the name suggests, these pillows are typically boxy in shape. The construction is a bit more complex than the construction of a knife-edge pillow; the shape is created using more seams. Unlike knife-edge pillows, box edge pillows are uniformly thick. Think of the box pillow as a sort of rectangular or square block of foam with an attractive covering. Round and triangular variations exist; these are similarly structured to the rectangular version.
Bolster Pillows
Bolster pillows are cylinder-shaped. They are constructed using circles of fabric on the sides, connected by a tube of fabric in the center, also called neck roll pillows or tube pillows. Bolster pillows add variety and visual interest to groupings of rectangular and square pillows.
Uses for Decorative Pillows
Use pillows to add color, texture and visual interest to the room of your choice. Change them with the seasons to enhance your décor; they are an affordable way to dress your home up for a holiday.
In the Bedroom
Pillows create the focal point for your bedroom. They add a touch of softness and luxury to the bed. Use them to express your own unique personality.
In the Living Room
You can change the whole mood of your living room using pillows. For example, using a plain leather couch as the starting point, you can make the entire room look trendy or traditional, country or contemporary, depending on the pillows you use as accents.
