Staggered dark brown blocks with ragged, comb-cut edges line up across soft stripes of mauve, ash gray and oatmeal. The bold, blocky pattern gives a plain sofa a strong graphic accent. Hand woven in Turkey, this purple, gray and brown kilim throw pillow measures 18 x 18 inches (46 x 46 cm) and brings a collected, well-traveled look.
Boho kilim pillows are one of the most loved ways to add global style to a home, because every handmade piece is different. The front is a hand woven wool kilim. A kilim is a flat weave, so the wool threads are woven tightly in and out by hand instead of being knotted, which gives the pattern its crisp, stepped edges. The hand-spun wool shows soft, natural shifts in color, called abrash, and with no pile to crush or shed it stays smooth and durable. It has a cotton back and a soft, hypoallergenic polyfill insert.
Try it on a dorm bed, a loveseat or a chaise lounge. For a clean, modern look, use a pair on a minimalist sofa; for a relaxed boho look, layer it with throws, rattan and plants.
