Etsy finds: Plush pillows

If you’re looking for a bold pillow to offset a neutral-coloured lounge or chair, this one fits the bill. The simple yet eye-catching pattern stretches across both sides of the pillow, which is 18 x 18 inches in size. The navy blue and ivory colours hide a multitude of sins, and as such, this pillow can be thrown around on outdoor furniture as well. In terms of features, the cushion has an invisible zipper enclosure and is overlocked stitched for that flawless, professional finish. WillaSkyeHome has a whole range of decorative pillows in her shop — it’s definitely worth a visit.

Do you lean towards slick, modern interior design? Do you love decorative accents that make a statement? If you answered yes to those questions, then you need this pillow in your life.

The suzani design is printed on a white background and the combination of colours used means that this pillow will suit most modern decors.
