Let's have a pillow talk! Pillows are like the jewelry of a room. Pillows give you the option of creating understated beauty and appeal or adding a big statement to a room! Cushions and pillows in any space introduce color, texture, and form. It's time to talk about throw-pillow rules: what the guidelines are for pillow numbers, pillow placement, and pillow selection for color and texture.

Pillow size and shape

Decorative pillow sizes range from 14 to 20 inches square and from 12 by 16 inches to 16 by 26 inches rectangular. If you desire a modern look choose throw pillows that are uniform in size, shape, and color. For those who favor a more traditional or eclectic vibe, go for an assortment of pillow sizes, and shapes.

Pillows color palette

Colour palette hues for pillows can be determined by the colors you like, the style you are going for, Another tip is to pick a color from the artwork or rug in the space.

Pillow arrangement

When it comes to decorating with accessories, think of an odd number of pieces. This applies to the number of pillows on the sofa as well. For example, grouping pillows in a three or five pillow arrangement.

Choosing pillow inserts and changing pillows seasonally

Another tip is to change pillows seasonally, which means pillow covers are the best way to go when it comes to changing pillows every season. Choose a pillow insert 2 inches larger than the size of your pillow cover. So if you have a 20-inch pillow cover you will need a 22-inch pillow insert. Pillows are the easiest way to upgrade your home decor and they are a great bang for our bucks!

Chopping pillow!

There is a trick to chopping pillows for a finishing touch. When chopping pillows, chop in the middle not too hard and then lift up the corners of the pillows. It's just a fun little detail to add a designer’s touch.

To get the perfect chop a good down pillow insert works best in a pretty pillow cover!

How to create a clutter-free study zone for kids at home

pinterest pin- homeschool.jpg

Homeschooling is challenging for every parent and if you're working as well, the last thing you want to deal with is clutter! Often books and school supplies create a storage challenge. In this blog, we will talk about how to end homeschool clutter by exiting furniture and also adding furniture depending on your needs. If you are balancing working from home while schooling your children, try creating a shared workspace. That way you are not doubling up on resources and space.

Using dining table as desks

BLOG IMAGE-2.jpg

 When your kids are using the dining table as a desk, it can be a chaotic mess with no dedicated space for all the books and school supplies. The solution in this case would be having a dedicated bookcase or a cabinet with deep drawers.

Cabinet and drawer organizers

If you have a big kitchen with lots of cabinets, another option could be to use upper and lower cabinets for storing supplies in storage boxes and file folders as well. Also, you can store small supplies in a dedicated drawer.

Rolling cart

If you have limited storage space, another option could be to use a rolling cart to stock school supplies. This can be an added advantage for flexibility, kids can even wheel it and use it in their room.

Remodeling options-  banquette  storage

If you are thinking of remodeling, adding a banquette seating will definitely provide added hidden storage under the seating area.

Workstation in kitchens

If you have extra open space in your kitchen why not create a workstation with storage for your kids. It will also eliminate the clearing of study materials from the dining table when it's dinner time.

Lastly, begin to train your kids for sorting, organizing, and cleaning up their own school supplies. Another tip is to sit down with your kids and make a list of chores they are capable of doing. This will teach them to not only be organized but also be responsible which will help them maintain mental sanity!
