Spring Pillows

This spring, liven up your living space with some new throw pillows! While you may be neglecting spring cleaning for just "one more day," try this simple way to bring in a new look without a full home makeover.


Do any of you remember looking through old botanical or bird books in your parent's or grandparent's home? These Potterybarn pillows remind me of just that. I love how these pillows manage to bring a fresh and nostalgic look all at once to any living space. The other thing I love about these pillows is that instead of using the usual springy pastel colors, we are seeing a turn away from this with bold punchy colors.



So I have to ask, how many of you have given in to the Elephant Pant Crazy? Well I have, so it's no surprise to see these East Indian inspired elephant print pillows at Potterybarn as a staple design this season. I love the Mendala and Elephant detailing on this pillow. Again, we see a shift from the usual pastel colors for spring, but now we're heading into a bright vibrant direction.


If you haven't already seen the amazing Mermaid Pillow with color changing sequins, you might get your fix with this gorgeous velvet pillow from One Kings Lane. I love the color contrast, but most of all I love the bold pattern of this pillow. Tribal Ikat pillows have been all the rage for over a year now and this is a wonderful way to update this trend.


This next pillow provides way more texture to your living space. Neutral grey and blues allow this pillow's look to remain sophisticated and fun without feeling too busy. This would liven up the simplest of couches without using the other punchy colors and patterns this season is offering. Ethan Allen provides subtle pops of character into all of their Spring pillows.



Lastly, Restoration Hardware is known for their neutral and sophisticated looks, which is exactly what this Cowhide Link pillow offers. Providing the same tactile sensations and patterns as the velvet pillow from One Kings Lane, this is a more subtle option.


No matter what your favorite design aesthetic is, this spring is sure to offer you a full array of throw pillow style choices to spark up your home design. If you have any questions or need suggests on what pillows might look best in your living space (ie. living room, bedroom, front entry) send me a message and I'll help you out.

Until next time!
