Colorful Custom Pillows

I just finished these pillows for a designer in New York City and I LOVE how they turned out!! 


We used the Chiang Mai Dragon fabric by F Schumcher on the front and piped it with a perfectly coordinating flame red velvet.  The Velvet Trellis print on the back pillow (also by F Schumacher) picks up the greens in the Dragon pillow and adds another great pattern to the room.



Both of the pillows were backed with Celerie Kemble's Betwixt fabric (in Spark and in Chartreuse) which complimented the face fabric perfectly. The Betwixt fabric coordinates well and adds interest without competing with either of the other fabrics.

These pillows are a great example of how to use bold, colorful fabrics together. The chartreuse color found in the details of the Dragon fabric was repeated in the Velvet Trellis pillow while the reds in the Chiang Mai Dragon fabric were repeated on both pillows with red velvet piping. It was the perfect way to coordinate the two bold fabrics.

I love it! What do you think?
