Ask the Designer: Throw Pillows to Coordinate with Starry Nights

Saffron Marigold - Updated: July 1, 2014

Natalie recently inquired about which throw pillow covers would work well with our Starry Nights quilted batik bedspread.

I immediately pulled our Memories of Shalimar print.  The pale green creates a lovely contrast, while the deep indigo accenting ties in beautifully with the darkest blue of the bedspread.  I love these two together.

Next, I was drawn to the blues in the border and detailing of our popular Spice Route pattern.  While not an exact match for the blue, there is a definite connection.  As well, the cinnamon red ground looks wonderful next to the natural green of Memories of Shalimar.

The final throw element I’d add to this mix is our mimosa yellow Waltz of the Vines throw pillow.  Again, the blues play well together with Starry Nights, and blue and yellow are always a winning combination.

Below, you can get an idea of what these might look like together on a bed.  Remember, Indian textiles are all about layering pattern and color.  These four prints will help to create a stunning, warm space in your bedroom.
