As an interior designer, I typically order fabric directly from the fabric showroom and then send it to my workroom to get made into pillows. Sometimes though that isn’t the fastest or cheapest scenario. I’m not the only designer my workroom does business with so when my order comes in there are typically people ahead of me. Moneywise with some showrooms you need to order more than one yard and shipping typically costs around $20-$30. It starts to add up and that is how you get to $300 pillows. When I’m working with smaller budgets I head to Etsy! They are a treasure trove of so many pillow shops especially ones that feature designer/to the trade fabric! Recently I found etsy shop Pillow Fever. Pillow Fever is run out of NJ, which is amazing for this New Yorker because the shipping was so fast! Even better is the quality. I’m always a little uncertain when I order from a new pillow shop, but this one was up to all of my standards. Pattern placement was perfection, the piping was beautiful, the zippers were invisible, and the backs of the pillows were in coordinating colors not plain white ground cloth. All wins in my book! I highly recommend them!

You can see them here in my sister’s apartment: I don’t like everything to match, but I do like a common thread. So, I used the striped linen pillows from etsy shop Pillow Fever to flank the sofa and be visually easy on the eyes. Then I paired them with different accent pillows. The floral pillow is Honshu by Thibaut and the velvet ikat is called Bella Luna by Pierre Frey. It doesn’t seem to up on the shop anymore so, I would message them about it if you are interested.

I’m in love! They fill the sofa perfectly, work perfectly with the color of the sofa and the artwork on the wall. There is a common blue thread throughout all of it. The whole apartment is pretty in pink with a modern twist!
