Curating a Collection of Designer Throw Pillows

At Ashley Morgan Interiors, we know the smallest details often make the biggest impact. Designer throw pillows are one of our favorite tools for finishing a space — not as afterthoughts, but as carefully curated layers that bring warmth, color, and personality into every project.

Here’s how we approach building a collection of pillows that feels intentional, elevated, and uniquely tailored to each client:

We Start with the Room’s Story

Every project begins with a story — a color palette pulled from a rug, a piece of artwork, or an architectural feature we want to highlight. Pillows are chosen to echo those tones, layering in shades and accents that feel connected rather than random.

We Layer Textures with Purpose

Texture is everything. In our projects, you’ll rarely see a sofa styled with all linen or all velvet. Instead, we mix silk with wool, velvets with linens, or embroidery against leather. This layering makes the collection not just visually dynamic but tactile and inviting.

We Balance Scale and Shape

Our collections always include a mix of sizes and shapes. Oversized pillows ground the arrangement, medium squares provide structure, and unique shapes — like lumbars or bolsters — add personality. We think of it like composing music: each piece plays a different note, but together they create harmony.

We Use Pattern Strategically

Patterns bring energy, but too many can overwhelm. At AMI, we like to combine one bold statement print with a quieter pattern and then layer in solids for balance. This keeps the collection lively while still feeling elegant and cohesive.

We Prioritize Quality Over Quantity

Our clients deserve the best. That means investing in designer textiles, premium down inserts, and craftsmanship that lasts. A few well-chosen pillows can completely transform a room — and unlike mass-produced options, they age beautifully and remain timeless.

We Add Personal Touches

What makes a pillow collection yours is the personal detail. Sometimes we use a fabric sourced during a client’s travels, commission a custom design from a local artisan, or reimagine a vintage textile. These touches ensure the collection tells the client’s story, not just ours.

For us, curating designer throw pillows is about so much more than decoration. It’s about layering comfort with beauty, creating balance in a room, and infusing personality into a home. At AMI, every pillow we place is chosen with intention - designed to elevate the space and reflect the people who live there.
