Splashes of color and intriguing displays of fabrics can set off a room’s style by using accessories created by gifted artists and reknown designers. Simplicity is the key and textiles the form in the modern production of comfortable art portrayed by modern pillows and other accompaniments, now taking the world by storm.

The Swedes were one of the first to arrive on the decorating scene using textiles in artful design. Designers Eye, formed in 1997, is a textile manufacturing firm geared toward using only the finest in quality materials while working with artists, such as Lena Bergstrom. A combination of felted, virgin wool with clean lines and flowing floral mixes make their designer pillows stand out with distinction.

Madeline Rogers, founder of Mibo, is a TV and Film Art Director who saw a need for a refreshing new tone in home decor accessory products by taking inventory at her own flat in London. British seaside resorts dotted with lazy striped loungers gave her the idea for pillow jackets with large blossoms that resemble a painting instead of oversized flowers. Shaded greens, beiges and grays with only a touch of red create a mellow tone with just the right hint of fun. Handmade and quality fabrics give Mibo’s pillows a charming and chic appearance at the same time.

Nothing spells fun like a pair of friends who can envision a dream, have a great work ethic and absolutely love detail and textiles. Modern Basics came to life when Page Ikeda and Rhonda Holloway, at the wheel, decided to begin a business of bright, stylish and witty accessories for the home. Located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, the functional, comfortable and very attractive pillows and bedding line have taken the nation by storm since 2001.

Although there are some of us who consider fabrics with style a new and exciting addition to our homes, Japan has been decorating with floor pillows, known as zabutons, for centuries. Popping up in American homes and bringing an inviting change in entertaining friends or just plain lounging, the zabuton is made of muslin but can be covered in virtually any type of material to show off an artist’s popular work or a beautiful textile design.

Art no longer just belongs on a wall as a way to enjoy the best of beauty and creativity. With the flow of new designers discovering a different type of canvas in material, pillows can become dramatically stunning. The modern age is booming with fresh ideas and energetic inventiveness in home decor and pillow covers are a perfect route to take in providing the public with functional, mood pleasing workmanship. Allow yourself to browse the invigorating artists of today in textiles and let yourself live comfortably with art.
