Pillows are originally used to hold the head and dates back to the ancient times. Egyptians used pillows made of stone and decorated their pillows with lavish ornaments. It was only during the industrial revolution that pillows with different decorations and fabrics were mass-produced and became common in every household.

Aside from pillows being ubiquitous in the bedrooms, pillows have also became a staple in the living room where they not only serve comfort but decor as well. Here are the types of pillows being used that you can also use for your own sofa or living room:

Tasseled- Asian-inspired pillowcases usually have them. Tassels are the knotted silk attachments sewn onto the four corners of a pillowcase.

Cording- Corded pillowcases have braid-like material sewn at the edges, or the trim can be made of the same fabric wrapped around a cord. Rich tapestry or embroidery can grace the center of the pillowcase to achieve a country look.

Tufted- A tufted has a indent a the middle topped by a button. Aside from being an accessory, tufted pillows can also be used as cushions for chairs.

Flange- This is the flap you see at the sides framing the pillowcase, its width can vary depending on what suits the pillowcase’s design.

Kidney Pillow- These pillows are rectangular that you can place at the sides or in the middle of your sofa to mimic an armrest.
