I love vintage Kilim pillows! Â They always add the perfect amount of color, culture and texture to a space. Â Kilim pillows seem to be everywhere lately, and I’m noticing more big box stores jumping on this trend. Â But I myself will always prefer those made from vintage rugs to anything brand new.
A vendor at a local antique mall has quite the awesome collection, and I swoon over them every time I’m there!
Everything in this booth was on sale recently, and I scored a kilim throw rug for a steal! Â I plan to have it made into a long lumbar pillow. Â For now I’ve just got it draped over a pillow to get an idea of how it’ll look.
Each vintage kilim rug is so unique, like textile art for your home.
I’ve found quite a few great Etsy shops that sell vintage kilim pillow covers for under $50. Â In fact most of these pictured below are around $40! Â Which is such a steal for these one-of-a-kind, handmade pillow covers.
If you’re a fan of these textiles you’ll want to make sure to check out WenKilimShop, MayaShopUSAÂ and VintageRugShop (which also has an amazing selection of vintage Turkish rugs!).
Do you sew? Pillows are so easy to make!!
