One can liken the process of customizing pillows to approaching a blank canvas. Their simple shapes—be it square, bolster or boxed edge—await your vision in fabric and trim. The addition of a border, cord or fringe is what allows designers and workrooms to create and to craft one-of-kind designs made with an individual client and space in mind.

SIMPLE TO STATEMENT-MAKING

There are many paths to the perfect pillow or cushion depending on their role in the room. Some designs may begin with a distinctive textile, perhaps calling for a complementary cord or brush fringe. Sophisticated plains can provide a foundation for the pièce de résistance in a room when paired with an embroidered border or braid. No matter the complexity of your design, these bespoke details are undeniably what set your work apart from the rest and from anything ready-made.

GET CREATIVE

Consider customizing pillows the opportunity to flex your creative muscles. Imagine layers; combining multiple trimmings side-by-side or atop one another. Even the addition of what may seem like a simple cord can incorporate unexpected patterns, fibers and textures—think leather, linen, metallics or a unique cord wrapped in a colorful ombré ribbon. How will you set your next pillow apart from the rest? Will it be a pleated edge, fretwork created using French Grosgrain or perhaps a linen border, corners perfectly mitered.
