Collection: Living Room Throws, Pillows and Home Comforts by Slowdown Studio

The living room is where Slowdown Studio’s designs shine brightest. Throws draped across sofas, pillows adding texture, candles glowing on shelves—this is functional art at the heart of everyday life. Every piece is designed in collaboration with global artists like Marc David Spengler, or created by brands we admire such as Maison Balzac, and always tied together through Slowdown Studio’s own signature collection.

Artistic Throw Blankets

Slowdown Studio throws are the living room essentials that do double duty: warm layers for slow mornings and statement pieces that hold the room together. Our signature woven throws, many designed in collaboration with artists such as Marc David Spengler, capture bold lines and abstract energy in jacquard weave. Knit throws add plush comfort for movie nights, while mini blankets bring the same artistry to smaller spaces. Each one is woven from recycled cotton, balancing gallery-worthy visuals with everyday durability.

Designer Pillows & Cushion Covers

Pillows are the simplest way to shift a room’s energy. Our Slowdown Studio pillow covers showcase artist-designed motifs in recycled cotton, turning sofas and chairs into curated compositions. Mix them with throws from Marc David Spengler’s collection or layer them alongside minimalist accessories for a look that feels fresh and fluid.

Sculptural Candles & Objects

A living room’s atmosphere is often set by its smallest details. Maison Balzac’s sculptural candles and glass objects, stocked alongside Slowdown Studio textiles, bring color and form to tables, shelves, and windowsills. Their playful silhouettes and saturated hues glow whether lit or simply displayed—functional accents that double as art pieces.

Living Room Styling Ideas

Think of the living room as a gallery you get to relax in. Start with a Marc David Spengler woven throw for bold pattern, then roll a Slowdown knit over the arm of the sofa for softness. Layer in pillows for texture play, and finish with a Maison Balzac candle on the coffee table to anchor the space with warmth and sculptural character. Every collection is designed to stand alone but thrives in the mix.

FAQ Section (Living Room Collection)

What care do Slowdown woven throws require?
All woven throws are made from cotton (often with a 25% recycled yarn blend) and are machine washable on a gentle/cold cycle. Use mild detergent, line dry or tumble on low, and avoid long exposure to direct sunlight to keep the colors crisp. (From Lavette, Pollard, and the Woven Blankets collection).

How do I style a throw in my living room so it looks intentional, not just tossed?
Try folding the throw neatly over your sofa arm, or draping enough so it cascades over an edge. Use contrast: pair a vibrant woven throw (like one from Marc David Spengler or the Slowdown signature line) with neutral pillows, or vice versa. Layer textures: knit + woven together for depth. Rotate pieces each season to avoid wear in high-use spots.

What makes Maison Balzac candles special / how should I care for them?
The Maison Balzac taper candle sets are plant-based stearin wax, with cotton wicks, and RSPO-certified materials. To get the best burn: place on a stable, heat-safe surface; trim wick to ~5 mm before lighting; don’t move the candle once lit; keep away from drafts. Wipe off dust with a soft cloth. Some bloom or surface marks are normal; it’s part of their handmade charm.

Which throw sizes work best for my living room setup?
Most Slowdown throws are about 54" × 70", which is versatile—big enough to cover a sofa back, throw over the foot of a bed, or hang as a tapestry. If you want more spillover, choose a larger throw to drape; for layering, a standard size works. Always check product measurements to ensure the scale fits your couch depth or chair width.

Are Slowdown throws suitable for different seasons / climates?
Yes. Because they’re cotton, woven throws breathe well, so they’re cozy in cool months but not overheating in warmer weather. Knit throws tend to be softer and slightly warmer. Pick lighter weave styles or knit-crisp patterns for spring/summer and heavier texture or layered looks for winter. Wash gently, avoid sun that might fade.
