Lauren's Method

The Goal:

Create a collected, cohesive and balanced pillow-scape, without being too matchy-matchy, that incorporates a mix of solid textures, and both small and large scale patterns.

There's no right way to create a pillow collection that is perfect for you, but it's always a good idea to echo the tones in your existing space so that it feels harmonious. Either way, make sure start by choosing pillows that you love, and then build your perfect combo by following this mantra.

The Mantra:

"Same colour, different look"
