All it takes is a little bit of ingenuity to create unique throw pillows for your home. Here are some easy throw pillow ideas that you can keep in mind when it comes to buying or sewing accent pillows are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric:\u00a0 The fabric you choose should coordinate      with your sofa, bed, chair or bench as well as the overall color scheme of      the room.\u00a0 Choose floral, stripes,      checks, geometrics or solids and mix them up for an interesting look.<\/li>\n<li>Trim:\u00a0 Next time you decide to purchase ready      made pillows at your local discount store, take a close look at the trim      details.\u00a0 Inexpensive pillows will      have a simple seam while more expensive pillows will have details that      include buttons, piping, flounces, appliqu\u00e9s and embroidery.\u00a0 These designer details give pillows      personality and provide a custom look for your home.<\/li>\n<li>Stuffing:\u00a0 You can purchase ready-made pillow forms      in many different sizes.\u00a0 They may      be stuffed with foam, batting, feathers or a combination of all      three.\u00a0 The stuffing you choose      depends on both your budget and the look you want.\u00a0 Feather and down is the most expensive      but provides a soft and squishy look that many people enjoy.\u00a0 Be sure to choose a feather pillow form      that encases the down in muslin to prevent stray feathers from poking      through the fabric.\u00a0 Foam is      available in many different densities, is usually firmer than feather and      springs back into shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now for the fun part: designing throw pillows for your home.\u00a0 Pillows can be made out of many different items.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you have a favorite scarf that you never wear?\u00a0 Back it with a coordinating fabric, add some trim and you have a one-of-a-kind pillow.\u00a0 How about old sweaters, flannel shirts, blankets and quilts that have seen better days?\u00a0 They make great pillows that might even tell a story about your family.<\/li>\n<li>If you can sew or embroider, you can make custom pillows for any room in your home.\u00a0 Appliqu\u00e9 a monogram onto a special pillow for the bedroom or embroider sentimental comments onto a pillow for a student leaving for college.<\/li>\n<li>Photo transfers are a fun way to personalize a space.\u00a0 Sew pillows that feature each family member\u2019s picture to use on family movie night.\u00a0 If you have a parent in the military, create a special pillow with their picture on it for the kids to sleep with at night until they return home to make the long absences more bearable.<\/li>\n<li>Be daring with color and trim.\u00a0 Large ball trim in bright fuchsia adds a feminine touch to a black and white room for that sophisticated teen.<\/li>\n<li>Use those old buttons you have been saving; just be sure to secure them tightly to keep younger members of the family from swallowing them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When it comes to creating unique throw pillows for your home, you are only limited by your imagination.\u00a0 Be sure to check out the many fabric manufacturers at Hickory Furniture Mart.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy Canthook.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throw pillows are one of the easiest ways to add color, texture and style to any room in your home, and it is fun to change them out for the seasons.
