Decorative pillows are SUCH a crucial and important part of any room we design. They are a wonderful way to add pattern and color without committing on a larger scale to upholstered furniture or rugs. You can swap them out when the mood strikes and move them around your home with ease to mix things up.
We make custom pillows for our clients day in and day out. And they are EXPENSIVE. On average our custom pillows range from $275-$450 PER pillow. Labor costs in Boston are higher than they may be where you live, so that makes things pricey, but there are still some great options for both retail pillows and even some designer fabric ones made for you on Etsy. The key to getting a punch of designer pattern without paying through the nose is to have the pillows made one sided with a solid fabric on the back, as most Etsy vendors will offer. Mix them with off the shelf solids or border trim pillows and you’ve got a clean, classic look at a more affordable price point.

I love throw pillows as a quick change up makes my home feel fresh and seasonally appropriate. I once heard someone say that throw pillows are the adult version of stuffed animals and judging by collection my inner 7-year old agrees! Great post!
Probably worth adding you want feather or down inners unless you are deeply allergic…. so devastating when you find beautiful throw pillows and they’re rock hard, cheap inners.
Erin, these are great but as you can see from previous comments, we are really more interested in yours! Please, please let us know when and where we can purchase your pillows again? Thanks in advance!
Pillows are like jewelry…I have a fetish! Rarely, have I met a pillow I didn’t like. franki
Great post! However, there doesn’t seem to be a link to patterned pillows 10 & 11. Help?
I’m also interested in patterned pillow #10 but there is no link. Would love to see it!
You didn’t include my favorite velvet leopard pillows you designed for Wayfair. Alas, they’re out of stock. But I use them nearly year round and love them. Wonderful quality. Think you need to bring them back next fall.
The line is no longer going to be on Wayfair :( Sorry!
Love this post! Etsy can seem like a black hole so it’s helpful when you are pointed in the right direction. Thanks!
Love this. Erin – post idea – could you do something on tech accessories. iwatch bands, iphone covers, laptop covers… Would love your edit!
Oh yes good one. In the market for a new Apple Watch band.
Erin – are you planning on offering more throw pillows on wayfair? I noticed theyre out of stock and love them.!
