Short dashes of red, aqua, cream and black are scattered across a plain slate blue ground. The bold, blocky pattern gives a plain sofa a strong graphic accent. This blue, red and beige kilim throw pillow measures 18 x 19 inches (46 x 48 cm) and is hand woven in Turkey, so no two are exactly alike.
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.
Add it to a reading nook, an entryway bench or a daybed. For a clean, modern look, use a pair on a minimalist sofa; for a relaxed boho look, layer it with throws, rattan and plants.
