Fab floor pillows you can buy or DIY!
Floor pillows and poufs are in. Okay, they have been in, but I’m slow to catch on. They make perfect alternative seating for informal dinner parties, game nights, patio garden parties, or just kicking back to watch the latest on Netflix. Lots of home decor shops from West Elm, One Kings Lane, IKEA, and many others, are offering up plenty of options to suit your style and budget. There’s also a plethora of DIY pillow tutorials around the Interwebs if you are the type who likes to get your hands crafty.
Back in my day, floor pillows were just for kids. It was my parents way of not feeling so badly about the fact that they got to hog the couch on TV nights. Fast forward to the present day, and floor pillows aren’t just for kids. Many discerning grownups are choosing to get lower to the ground. And I say, why not be more informal? It’s what we all really want anyway.
Whether to have extra “seating” on hand for entertaining, or just for hanging out, choose from this roundup of our favorite floor pillows.
