Pillow Talk

While decorating our place, I have been extraordinarily picky about the pillows.  It seems like a silly thing to be picky about since you can change pillows out whenever, but in the living room especially I felt that the pillows were going to tie the room together and be a big focal point.  The couch is the first thing you see when you walk into our place so it definitely makes a statement.  I searched forever for the perfect pillows and it has literally taken me up until now (we’ve been here for  almost 8 months now) to find exactly what I was looking for. 
The black pillow in the back is from Z Gallerie, and they are a splurge.  Luckily I had gift cards so it didn’t sting quite as bad.  The front blue pillow case is from etsy and I really needed the blue to tie in a blue bench I have in the room. 
By far my favorite pillow that the couch could not be complete with is my Arianna Belle Channels Ebony & Ivory pillow (c/o).  I bought the insert on Amazon (I always buy my pillow inserts at least 1-2 inches bigger than the actual pillow case so that it stays full without constant fluffing).

I could not be more in love with the grey abstract pattern on the Arianna Belle pillow.  Because it’s neutral, patterned, and not too busy, I know this will be a constant pillow even if I switch out the others.  It honestly goes with any pattern you can think of. 
Adding the pillows has made me feel like the living room is almost complete.  I have one corner that feels incomplete, and a mirror for the mantle to find, but once I figure out that it will be pretty much done.  I actually ordered a chair for the corner and it came in so much larger than expected – it was overpowering my couch, and my couch is pretty big!  Unfortunately I learned my lesson in buying furniture online — don’t do it.  It was not convenient to ship back and was quite stressful.
What do you guys think about pillows?  Do you place a lot of importance on finding the perfect ones or do you switch them out frequently?
