When you curl up on the sofa with your favorite throw pillow, it’s easy to forget the artistry, craftsmanship, and dedication that went into its creation. At SanVia, every pillow tells a story - a journey that begins with inspiration and ends as a luxurious accent in your home. From the first sketch to the final stitch, each pillow embodies a blend of design vision, artisan skill, and thoughtful quality.  Step 1: Inspiration and Concept  Every pillow begins with an idea. Designers draw inspiration from global trends, timeless architecture, textiles, and the natural world. Earth tones, intricate embroidery, geometric shapes, or cultural motifs become the foundation of a new design. At SanVia, the goal is always the same: to create a pillow that feels timeless yet fresh, complementing both classic and modern spaces. Sketching the Design Once inspiration takes shape, it’s translated into a detailed sketch. The sketch defines proportions, embroidery placement, fabric textures, and overall form. This stage sets the creative tone and ensures that the pillow will not only look beautiful but also function as a practical home accent. Choosing Fabrics and Textures Fabric selection is where the design comes to life. SanVia’s curated materials range from handwoven cotton and soft linens to richly textured fabrics sourced from skilled artisans. The right textile determines the pillow’s personality—whether it feels casual and cozy, or elegant and refined. Craftsmanship and Artistry  Skilled artisans transform the sketch and fabric into a tangible product. Hand embroidery, precision stitching, and careful finishing ensure each pillow reflects the highest level of craftsmanship. This stage preserves the authenticity and unique character of every design. Quality Testing and Refinement  Before a pillow reaches your home, it undergoes rigorous checks for durability, comfort, and finish. Zippers, seams, and embroidery details are inspected to ensure the product is built to last while maintaining its luxurious look. Styling for Your Home  The final step of the journey is where the magic happens—your living room, bedroom, or cozy reading nook. Whether styled as a single statement piece or layered with complementary designs, SanVia pillows add warmth, elegance, and personality to any space. Each SanVia pillow is more than a cushion—it’s a piece of art, crafted with intention and care, designed to elevate your home. 

One of the most effective ways to create a sense of calm and balance in our homes is by embracing earth tones in home décor. From warm terracotta to soothing sage, earth-inspired colors instantly ground a room, making it feel serene, inviting, and timeless. Whether you’re styling a living room, bedroom, or even a reading nook, incorporating these hues can transform your home into a retreat. Here’s how to use earth tones to design a calming interior that feels both modern and enduring.  The Earth Tone Palette: Nature’s Inspiration  Earth tones are drawn from the natural world—think sandy beiges, soft ivories, muted greens, warm browns, and rich clay hues. These shades work beautifully together because they reflect what we already see in nature. Unlike fleeting color trends, neutral and earthy palettes remain classic and versatile. Balance Warm and Cool Shades To keep your space feeling grounded rather than dull, mix warm tones (terracotta, caramel, ochre) with cool ones (sage, stone gray, soft taupe). This balance creates depth and prevents your décor from leaning too heavy on one side of the spectrum. Layer Textures for Dimension Texture brings earth tones to life. A beige linen pillow, a chunky knit throw, and a handwoven jute rug may share similar shades, but their textures create visual richness. Incorporate Natural Materials  Earth tones pair beautifully with organic materials like wood, stone, and clay. Consider a reclaimed wood coffee table, stone pottery, or ceramic vases. These tactile elements enhance the organic feel of an earth-toned home. Add Greenery for Freshness No earth-inspired home is complete without plants. Greenery not only complements muted tones but also adds a sense of life and renewal to the room. From small succulents to large potted palms, plants make earth tones feel vibrant rather than flat. Keep It Minimal Yet Inviting  The beauty of earth tones is in their simplicity. Avoid over-accessorizing—let the colors and textures speak for themselves. A few well-chosen pillows, a woven throw, and natural wood accents can be enough to make a space feel complete. Earth tones in interior design connect us to nature, calm the senses, and create spaces that feel timeless. Whether you’re refreshing your living room or designing a bedroom retreat, incorporating earth-inspired shades will bring warmth, comfort, and a sense of grounding to your home.  At SanVia, we believe that home décor should blend artistry with tranquility. Our artisan-crafted throw pillows in natural palettes are designed to help you achieve that calm, elegant environment with ease. 

Throw pillows are one of the easiest ways to refresh a room without a full makeover. Interior designers use them strategically to create cohesion, add texture, and set a mood. Here are 10 pro tips:  Mix Sizes Designers rarely stick to a single pillow size. Mixing square, lumbar, and oversized pillows adds depth and keeps the sofa or bed from looking flat. Larger pillows ground the arrangement, while smaller ones create a layered, curated look. Play with Textures Texture is just as important as color. Combining velvet with linen, boucle with cotton, or embroidered with plain fabrics creates tactile richness. A room immediately feels more high-end when textiles invite touch. Stick to a Color Palette A cohesive palette ties the whole room together. Designers usually pull colors from the rug, artwork, or wall tones and repeat them in pillows. Even bold prints feel harmonious when they share a palette. Odd Numbers Work Best Odd-number groupings (3, 5, or 7 pillows) feel more natural to the eye. They create a sense of balance without being too rigid, making the arrangement feel curated rather than forced. Layer by Size Think of pillows like a pyramid: large ones at the back, medium in the middle, small accents up front. This creates depth, just like layering bedding or curtains. It’s a trick designers use constantly. Balance Patterns and Solids Too many patterns can overwhelm. A designer trick is to pair bold patterned pillows with solid-colored ones. Solids allow the eye to rest, while patterns add flair. Seasonal Swaps Swapping pillow covers is the easiest way to refresh a space. Light linens and pastels for spring, cozy knits and velvets for winter. Designers love this affordable trick because it keeps rooms evolving. Add a Statement Pillow Every sofa benefits from a “star” pillow — a bold pattern, an unusual shape, or a hand-embroidered piece. Supporting pillows should highlight this focal point rather than compete with it. Proportion matters Large sectionals need oversized pillows, while loveseats need smaller ones to avoid looking crowded. Designers always scale pillow size to furniture. Keep It Comfortable At the end of the day, pillows should invite people to sit, lounge, or nap. Too many pillows can feel fussy. Designers balance style with livability, leaving space for comfort.
