Cool classics

Of course, you can't change it with pillowsmodern interior into a classic one. But it is quite possible to update the boring classics. The first thing decorators advise to do when choosing fabrics is to understand the color palette of the style you are interested in. It is not that simple. Traditional English style is a combination of elements from different eras, which we perceive today as classics. If you decide to act in accordance with the strict canons of the classical style, get ready for difficulties. The fact is that textiles in a classic interior are distinguished by a motley pattern. Sofas are usually upholstered with fabrics with a complex pattern. It is very difficult for a non-professional to select pillows for such a sofa. Therefore, it is better to sew covers to order, and select fabrics for them together with the decorator, providing him with a sample of the upholstery of your favorite piece of furniture or its photo. It is much easier to select pillows for a leather sofa. Its somewhat office rigor will be well diluted with accessories made using the needle point technique. This traditional English handicraft is almost forgotten. So, having bought such a thing, you can safely consider yourself a collector of rarities.How to sew a pillow with your own handsHow to sew a pillow with your own hands
