A great way to get around buy pillow cases

Buying fancy decorative pillows can be expensive and occasionally they may not all match. A great way to get around this problem is by buying some fabric and sewing your own pillow cases or pillow coverings. If you choose to make your own pillows, sew the outside of the case and then use stuffing from your old and unwanted pillows to fill the new ones.

When buying furniture, stay away from couches, sofas, chairs and recliners with busy upholstery. Buying items with floral print, geometric shapes and patterns can pre- determine what your home decor must look like. Buy your furniture in solid tones such as green, brown, blue, black or beige and use your accessories to benefit your furniture. You can mix and match patterns with your throw blankets and pillows, while keeping the effect of the patterns at bay.

Dressing up pillows for a young adult's room can be very simple. Take some old clothes such as band shirts, shirts with cool designs or an old pair of jeans; cut them to size to fit your decorative pillows and sew them together. This can make a great personal addition to any teenager's room, and give their room a bit of personality.
