Our team is not messing around when it comes to sourcing pillows.
Tiffany, our purchasing lead, makes a yearly summer sojourn to coastal New England. Is she just relaxing in the summer breeze while she is there? Nope. Last summer, she stumbled across one of our new favorite partners for pillows, a small company producing truly unique pieces, made from hand-blocked and mud printed textiles. Their fabrics carry all those coastal summer vibes, but because they produce them in year-round colorways, they are still look just at home during the fall and winter months. And, Collected is the only place in the Midwest you can find these!
We carry these hand-blocked prints with a whole array of new solid pillows in a variety of textures, like velvets, boucles, linens. We love mixing textures, which is just as important as having a variety of colors and patterns. Varied textures bring interest and a cozy, collected feel to a space. For example, using a larger linen or boucle pillow as the base on a bed or sofa, then layering in smaller pillows with pattern is a foolproof layering strategy. Velvet works too! And we are fans of mixing patterns as well, but when we do, we always incorporate either two different patterns (i.e., a stripe and a floral) or those with different pattern scales, for example, a larger floral print paired with a smaller, quieter pattern.
Hope these tips from our pillow experts are helpful as we enter the season of frequent decor changes!
