I have been thinking about fall and the 110 plus temperatures have just made it difficult to move or write. Design predictions or trends are all over the map. Think of all the stylist that work for catalog companies and you can just imagine how difficult it is for them or buyers for your local shops to think about fall and winter when the temps are in the hundred plus category. One item that can make a big change or impact on your decor is the addition of decorative pillows. Pillows make a big impact when considered to make seasonal change. Two types of pillows that will be everywhere this fall are crewel embroidered pillows and suzani pillows.

This little number from Cost Plus World Market is only $ 19.99. Added to other fall pillows will add that ethnic look that is so popular for fall.

Another category of pillows that add punch for fall is the crewel or the embroidered pillow.

These two traditional crewel beauties are from www.potterybarn.com and will add a touch of fall to any decor.
From Pier I Imports a softer crewel for $ 29.95.
For those with a modern approach to decor these crewels fit the bill.
These two are offered by www.PillowsandThrows.com for $ 120.00. Nutmeg and sage green inspire us to think about fall and cooler temps.
These two bright, happy fall beauties are embroidered and are from www.bedroomfurniture.com. They can add the right touch to any room for $ 75.00 - $ 85.00.
Be it crewel or suzani the search for the pillows, for the right room, for that fall pick me up should be fun to find. Start the search now. If you find the right one, let us know where and how much.
What is the difference between crewel and suzani? (and if you answered it above, forgive me. The heat has cooked my brain)
ReplyDeleteCrewel is fabric embroidered with loosely twisted worsted yarn. This fabric is domestically produced or produced in Italy. Susani is fabric done with loosely twisted worsted yarn in Uzbeckistan and other parts of central Europe and Asia. The suzani most times has a geometric pattern as even the florals are geometric and the patterns often resemble the rug patterns of the region. Good question. Most is handworked though now some is done with machine.
ReplyDeleteLove the pillows. I think I will go online and order a few to update my living room. Thanks for the prod. Just took out carpet and tile and installed wide-plank hardwood in the entire living area on the main floor. Difficult project but worth the results.
