Patterned Pillows to be Mixed & Matched with Wild Abandon

Any and all of these throw pillows work together, but for the pattern shy, may I suggest choosing just two?

• stripes • polka dots • floral • texture • monogram • pow!

p.s. Too crazy? A little color-shy? Try these.

    I really like Pow!
    By the way, I found some cute things that might work for your dollhouse in this site: http://www.etsy.com/category/dolls_and_miniatures/scale_dollhouse_miniature (you’ll have to look, but there are some interesting things!)
    Must confess I am excited to see your doll house project!

      Oh, I certainly wouldn’t stop at two! I own three of the above (all the ones on the right), and I’m thinking of adding the one with stripes too.

    I wonder if those JA pillows are easy to DIY without making things jenky. Hmmmm…. With Christmas coming up, it’s hard for me to spend so much on a pillow. Love the post!

      It’s a pretty simple pattern. I’m sure something similar wouldn’t be too difficult.

    Holy cow, I love that striped pillow. I don’t have anywhere to put it in my house, which works out, since I can’t afford it anyway!

    I love this!! Please do more of these! It’s so helpful to have pillows put together.. I’ve been struggling to do it for my living and family rooms for waaay too long!

    I agree with Avery. Please do more! Maybe in a different color story each week?

      I don’t know about each week, but I can do more of these, sure!

    Maybe next in the series you could do a ‘cheap and cheerful’ round up? The thought of spending $140 on a sofa cushion makes me choke, even if I could afford to do so. Even $50, the cheapest in this list, is high for a lot of people’s budgets.

      I’ll do one soon with more affordable options too.

    I love them all, especially the stripes and monogram. They are so cute! I definitely become a little pattern shy but these are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

    I love the POW!! If anything, I’m the opposite of pattern-shy, so I keep having to remind myself not to put too many patterns in my tiny apartment… but they’re just so much fun!

    I love your “textured”, “monogram” and your “pow” pillows. I really need to do something about my couch and this gives me a little inspiration.
