They look great! That trim is a nice finishing touch. A 24" pillow sounds big, but I agree it looks perfect for the length of the couch. Is it about 8'?

Yes it is a tad over 8ft. My mother bought it in the early 60s, and when my parents downsized to a condo in the city she gave the sofa to my brother, and his (third) wife did not like it so he gave it to me. Everyone has kept a swatch of each fabric used to upholster the sofa in a ziplock bag under one of the cushions....it is a living history of sofa :-). Originally it was an olefin fabric in green, brown, orangey red, reupholstered in blue, green and brown floral chintz, then in a coral cotton, then yellow canvas duck, then green chenille, so it has been reupholstered about every 10 years.

When it is redone we are going to have new cushions made. The original ones are real foam rubber that we can't get now :-(

Score! You are on a pillow roll! The toile is perfect with your sofa and side chairs!

Those are gorgeous Lisa! I would love to bring coral into my decorating, but would need to change out the whole main floor since everything co-ordinates.

And i'm gonna have to correct you on the fabric. When the print is Oriental it's called Chinoiserie. Don't ask me why. ;)

Love them!

Oh, I'm so jealous! I love Scott's and really wanted to go this weekend but didn't plan well. It's a bit of a hike and an overnight stay for me but I love to go once or twice a year. Great find - I love the pillows and they look great in your room!

Funny, I was just thinking that toile meant only two colors. I never knew fabric like this existed. Leave it to you kswl!

As usual, another perfect selection for your beautiful home:)

Perfect!!

Gorgeous pillows! I liked them so much that I Googled just 'toile fabric' and the fabric came up in an image just searching for that! I have never seen that happen before.

But if you need more for anything, it's Robert Allen Neo Toile in Coral. It also comes in Indigo, 'Cove' and Red (which has more very dark gray than red in it). Check out all the all the images at the link below to see it on furniture, walls, shower curtains, drapes, etc. HERE.

Those pillows are soooo beautiful! It will be breathtaking if you reupholster the sofa in a matching color. Hope you do this soon so we can see the results :)

Gosh it is amazing what a pillow can do for a room, isn't it??

Lol, patty cakes, I love all things oriental and you are correct this Is chinoiserie toile! I have Chinoiserie toile wallpaper in one bathroom and in my laundry room, and some very old chinoiserie pillows from Pierre Deux on a LR sofa.

My3dogs, the pillow fabricator had all three fabrics made up into pillows on display, and the friend I was shopping with bought two in the same print in the blue/ grey colorway! His LR sofa is dark gray and he was just about to have it recovered because it was so "boring" and his gorgeous new pillows have totally revved it up. The fabricator is from Charlotte NC, he and his sister had and still have a workroom, but they began making and selling pillows about 15 years ago and he said that their retail pillow business has outstripped the custom work by a country mile. He was a really nice, friendly guy and said he cuts the fabric and his sister sews.

Honestly, I would recover the whole sofa in the fabric but it would be TOO much, I think.

Ellendi, you are correct, toile is traditionally a monochromatic print with a repeated scene but the definition has expanded over the last 20 years and as patty pointed out this is a special case of toile. I guess this is Evolved Toile :-)

i have toile in the MBR with the traditional complement of a similar colored check fabric, and toile pillows in the blue bedroom and LR. My daughter had a blue and white toile suite (two rooms and a bathroom) in our last house. I just LOVE toile.

Nice!

Pillow shopping is my least favorite and I so love a good find! Those are perfect.

pretty room

Very nice-- Loving that rug BIG TIME!

I could go crazy at Scotts with the pillows! TONS!!! I have seen that fabric and like it. Many designers are using larger pillows, especially as the "anchor" pillows on a sofa.

I believe that is the same toile Emily Clark used on a bedroom wall in her daughers' bedroom. She is a designer/blogger (emilyaclark.com). You should check out the bedroom.

So pretty! I love that fabric!

Thanks for the length info. My sofa is 8' and my pillow are too small so it was helpful to see a larger size.

I have always loved that fabric. Gorgeous. And I would TOTALLY do a couch in that fabric!!!

Perfect find!

those pillows look like they were made specifically to go with your rug!! perfect!

No idea how I missed this earlier, except that I must have been lost in Chairland myself. I love, love, love those pillows! They are absolutely perfect in your room! You really ARE on a great pillow roll lately! Very nicely done.

I am in love with these pillows so thank you for all these kind comments!

The upholsterer has given me an estimate on the sofa that includes new seat cushions about 1.5 inches higher than the current squashed ones, no skirt and new turned legs in a fruitwood finish. Now all I need is to find the fabric!

Our curtains are solid green with a decorative edge trim and luckily they are not faded (because of their heavy lining and an interlining with baby flannel), so I def want to find something that works with them. My mother is campaigning for coral. I have no idea what I want and will eventually call ID, I guess.

What a lovely room kswl! And I'm lovin' though very pretty pillows! The changes you have planned so far for the sofa sound perfect.

I would consider a gorgeous, deep blue... :)

Busy, I thought of that......after all, blue is in the rug border and children's portraits and now the pillows. It sounds silly, but I have now confined all the blue in a single bedroom in our house and it would be a huge departure for me to put blue on a piece of furniture so large. Also, the walls are BM Golden Straw and all the woodwork is BM Linen. In in this northeast facing room it all looks very gold. What blue would you suggest?

I would look at fabric options that are along the color tones/depth of the deep tomes in pagoda roof in the small pillow on the right of your pillow picture... other options I would consider would be a deepish blue gray or possibly even a med charcoal gray, tho I would be afraid that might suck some life out of your chairs... but, swatches are free (or refundable!) so I would give it a try...

Your Neo Toile pillows (well, pillows in your colorway) are in a full double page ad for Thomasville Furniture in the October issue of Elle Decor! See pages 34 - 35, although they have muted the colors. You have REALLY made it in the world of decor, Kswl2, NOT that it was ever in doubt!

I'm ordering some fabric now to make pillows, so I can be one of the cool kids!

Really odd feeling, to be "cool" at last, my3dogs! I am usually in the "nice older lady who still wears pearls" group :-) I think the genius of this particular colorway is that it sort of adapts, chameleonlike, to different settings.

I love the sofa/pillow combination in the picture, 4boys2, and that may be the color of my next re-upholstery of the sofa in that room. I have looked at a lot of blues and given the overall off white/gold hue of the paint, woodwork and other furnishings, think I'd best stay in the coral/green/gold range.
