Our top 9 patterned pillow picks
Minimalist patterned pillows
Price: $88
The classic cream and black color combo and simple yet elegant line pattern mean this pillow exudes understated elegance. The raised texture adds a luxe feel, meaning it will still make a subtle statement.
Price: $94
Minimalist decor doesn’t have to mean devoid of color – just take this pillow as an example! I adore the eye-catching green embroidered squares which add a bit of interest without taking away from the sleek, subtle design.
Price: $138
The fun geometric pattern and neutral colorway of this beige pillow mean it will make a playful addition to your minimalist scheme. It’s perfect for layering with other neutral-toned pillows!
Statement patterned pillows
Price: $31.99
The woven design and solid opaque blocks make this patterned pillow cover the perfect blend of modern and classic. With its embroidered detail, it feels far more expensive than it actually is!
Price: $50
If statement decor for you means a bold pattern and a bright pop of color, then this Nordstrom pillow is the piece for you! Again, it has that stunning embroidered detail which adds an elegant-yet-eye-catching edge.
Price: $12.99
And if you're not such a fan of bright shades, this smooth patterned pillow makes the perfect statement in a monochromatic scheme. It layers beautifully with other desaturated designs – standing out thanks to its striking black border.
Floral patterned pillows
Price: $77
If you can't tell by now, I'm a huge fan of embroidered detail on pillows – it just adds such an elevated feel to patterned designs! This bold floral piece is no exception. It will pair perfectly with similarly bright pillows.
Price: $98
And if you prefer printed to embroidered pattern, this olive green piece is the ideal choice. The high-quality linen features a block print which is hand-pressed on both sides for a striking effect and organic feel.
Price: $54.60
Finally, this luxe velvet pillow features an eye-catching busy floral pattern and round shape that will look beautiful at the front of your pillow stack. Style it with pink, navy, and yellow pillows for a colorful-yet-complementary set.
How do you pair patterned pillows?
It’s easy to play it safe and stick to just one statement patterned pillow among a stack of more muted styles, but where’s the fun in that? It’s actually pretty simple to layer different patterned pillows together, and here are some tips to help.
Firstly, take a look at the size of the pattern on each pillow. Mixing patterns of different sizes ensures they aren’t competing with each other, and makes for a much more cohesive arrangement. And don’t be afraid of mixing different styles of pattern together – florals and geometric shapes work surprisingly well together, for example.
When it comes to the shades you choose, clashing colors makes for a fun and eye-catching look – especially if you’re into maximalist decor. But if you prefer a more muted scheme, stick to patterned pillows of a similar color group, like neutrals, earthy tones, or different shades of your favorite color.
