Add A Little Flair With Faux Fur Pillows

By Michelle Lee


Creating something new out of an existing space can pose a challenge for some but often this can be done quickly and with little expense. Coming home to a dull space is no fun but often hiring a professional is out of the question or a person may not know where to start. This is why the use of faux fur pillows or a nice area rug can make a world of difference.

Adding these is often the ideal solution for those who want to add something special in little time or with just a few dollars. The good thing about using these is that they move around easily and the cleaning can normally be done at home, either by hand or machine washer. There are also many colors and pattern that can easily fit into any theme.

Sometimes sleek or simple designs may be the most appealing, or may be considered the safest theme, but a little contrast never hurts. Monotone or neutral colors may benefit from touches of pink or teal. Rooms that have a lot of color may try a decorative piece in a neutral or shade found in another object nearby, like a frame or placeholder.

Animal or abstract prints add a little vibrancy to neutral colors. Choosing faux fur mixed with other patterns with a similar color scheme is one way to liven things up within a space. When it comes to decorating, there are few boundaries, even when it comes to room themes or objects. People should feel open to experiment and only use books or magazines as a reference, not a template.

Sometimes decorative pillows are sold in sets of three or with an area rug or comforter set, making it easy to add more details. Usually these come in basic colors or patterns that are easy to mix and match. Though some can handle machine washing, a professional cleaning will definitely extend the use.

People who are not into decor may want to consider a happy medium by choosing items that also serve a purpose. These are intended for daily use so dry cleaning may not be necessary. Going with an area rug that nearly covers a floor makes it easy on hardwood flooring or reduces the time that a carpet will need cleaning.

When it comes to choosing a pillow, other practical options are the contour, a normally soft pillow that is longer than most bed versions but ideal for relaxing or taking a short nap. Firm, upright pillows are great for the back when sitting upright on a low surface. Floor pillows are also great for lounging while watching TV or reading. These come in many fabrics and patterns.

There are no defined rules when it comes to creating a personalized space. Sometimes the key is to start small and build on colors or patterns accordingly. Decorative or throw pillows are often the beginning and there are many colors and styles that can bring life into any space. It is just a matter of making a room more comfortable.
