Rug + Pillow Pairings: Discover a Scale and Texture for Each Area
I contemplate texture to be like a sample after I’m mixing and matching. A few of our rugs are extremely textured like our Judy rugs, whereas some just like the Briggs rugs have have a decrease texture however a high-pattern design on them. Each of them will be handled as a sample. You probably have a big sample like our Polly rugs, you may need to combine that with a smaller patterned pillow like one of many ruffle Dinah pillows. Or attempt a stable velvet Liza pillow to offer the area some calming options.
When a rug or pillow has a free texture, that may additionally learn as a sample. For example, the Bradley assortment has some choices with a high-low pile. To that, I’d herald a heavier sample in one of the vital textured pillows — just like the Ellery — to create a dynamic really feel with extra sample play.
Store Polly’s Room
You’ll see the Judy Pure/Ivory rug in Polly’s room: it’s a extremely textured rug and has a large-scale sample. So I paired it with a set of two matching Dinah pillows in a mushy colorway and a textured Harvey lumbar pillow. That makes them secondary to the bolder rug. And the rug is secondary to the wallpaper, let’s be trustworthy. Every particular person factor works collectively whilst they stand alone within the area.
Listed below are a few of my good pairings for CLJ x Loloi rugs and pillows, together with some primary ideas you may apply to any mixture.
Polly Graphite/Pebble Rug
Polly Graphite/Pebble Rug | Ivory/Black Pillow | Ivory Velvet Pillow | Cinnamon Velvet Pillow | Pink Textured Pillow
As a result of the rug is darker, I like to usher in some lightness. I selected a stable cream velvet Liza pillow and a smaller patterned black and white Dinah pillow, which echoes the test sample within the rug. To finish the look, I selected a contrasting colour to steadiness all of it out. This heat merlot colour is beautiful within the stable velvet and the patterned pillow gives a unique scale than the test.
Francis Spa/Granite Diamond Rug
Francis Spa/Granite Rug | Plaid Fern Pillow | Moss Dinah Lumbar Pillow | Grey Velvet Liza Pillow | Blue Harvey Pillow
This diamond-patterned rug has greens, blues and lotions in it. I actually needed to carry out the greens but in addition spotlight the little bits of spa blue within the rug. I pulled in three totally different patterned pillows in impartial tones. They work collectively as a result of they vary from small to medium to massive patterns in related colorways.
Briggs Rug in Mist/Ivory
Briggs Mist/Ivory Rug | Blue Textured Harvey Pillow | Blue Velvet Liza Pillow | Plaid Fern Pillow
The Briggs rug is so versatile that it might probably learn virtually like a stable. There’s a actually small sample in it, so you may go wherever with this rug. I introduced in a creamy large-patterned pillow with a darker blue and lighter blue to play up the blues within the rug. Any colour velvet pillow will work with this rug!
Polly Smoke/Sand Rug
Polly Smoke/Sand Rug | Textured Poe Pillow | Harvey Lumbar Pillow | Ivory Velvet Liza Pillow
That is one in every of my favourite mixtures as a result of it has a very huge play on texture. The rug has a large-scale sample that makes it learn virtually like a texture. The lumbar pillow is a stable colour, however it’s enjoyable to pair this cream texture with one other cream “texture” within the rug. Full the look by bringing in a single different pillow in a contrasting sample.
Judy Rug in Pure/Ivory
Judy Pure/Ivory Rug | Dinah Ivory/Black Pillow | Cinnamon Velvet Liza Pillow | Dinah Ocean/Blue Pillow
This assortment relies on the essence of major colours with a twist. The jute within the rug can learn as a yellow, and we’ve got pink and blue pillows to spherical out the colour wheel. It’s a very easy colour scheme that doesn’t need to be juvenile or too saturated. I saved the patterns smaller within the pillows because the rug is so daring.
Jules Ink/Terracotta Rug
Jules Ink/Terracotta Rug | Plaid Cricket Pillow | Ivory Velvet Liza Pillow | Dinah Chocolate/Latte Lumbar Pillow | Rust Velvet Liza Pillow
This vintage-inspired rug has a variety of heat tones in it. Plus it has a very natural sample so it pairs nicely with geometrics. As a result of the rug has a variety of smaller motifs in it, I needed to begin with a grounding colour just like the darkish brown. (You probably have a sofa in a stable, that may additionally act as your grounding colour.) Then I needed to usher in a enjoyable plaid to counteract the extra natural shapes. Lastly, the 2 stable warm-toned pillow colours play nicely with the rug and steadiness out the entire sample.
Bradley Rug in Ivory/Beige
Bradley Ivory/Beige Rug | Dinah Ocean/Blue Pillow | Ellery Clay Pillow | Harvey Lumbar Pillow | Blue Plaid Earl Pillow
This pairing gives a complementary colour scheme and vary of sample scales. Blue and orange are complementary colours and can pop towards a impartial rug. You probably have blue pillows in a room, herald an orange tone to heat up the area. Since every bit includes a sample, I made certain we used a variety of sizes. The rug has a very massive geometric sample, so we steadiness that out with smaller patterns within the Dinah ruffle pillows. The lumbar is a stable texture with a small sample. The plaid gives the medium-scale sample for a seamless move.
Humphrey Forest/Multi Rug
Humphrey Forest/Multi Rug | Inexperienced Velvet Liza Pillow | Grey Velvet Liza Pillow | Ivory Velvet Liza Pillow | Cinnamon Velvet Liza Pillow | Textured Poe Pillow | Dinah Chocolate/Latte Lumbar Pillow
The rug has a large-patterned flannel look together with extremely saturated colours. One trick I like to recommend is to tug out your entire colours from the rug to coordinate in pillows. This might work rather well with a impartial couch to carry these colours again into the room. Most of those pillows are solids to steadiness out the excessive sample on the ground. The small ruffle Dinah in a darkish sample grounds all the pieces. Then I introduced in a single medium sample that ties nicely with the smaller ruffle pillow to increase the colour out.
One ultimate tip that you will have seen: When mixing and matching pillows collectively, I like bringing in a single from each assortment. That’s why you’ll typically see a velvet Liza pillow with a ruffled Dinah pillow. Or a textured clear lumbar pillow with a bolder sq. colour or sample. There are such a lot of mixtures to fit your area in the case of matching pillows and rugs!
