Top Tips - #3

Let's get back to some of those "Top Tips"...design tips we use quite frequently to update or change decor.  Another great and easy way to change the look of your room is to add, or change out, PILLOWS!  Whether it's a living room, great room, or even bedroom...this will do the trick!  This is almost always a must in every design project we do.  Take a look...

Here we have different shades of blue and patterns displayed on the sofa.  Notice that the patterns don't fight one another since they blend in color and are not the same in pattern size (fabric pattern that is!).  Also added is the solid green pillow...which is an accent color.  This green picks up and carries over the green from the accessories (the apples and flower stems).  Can you tell how easy this would be to change out when you tire of these?

Here is another example of how pillows can impact a room.  Mixing colors and patterns is a great way to add more personality to a space.  I just love this color palette...what about you?



Hot off the press...this photo from the 2011 Hamptons Designer Showhouse is exquisite and the pillows are partially the reason!  I know, the headboard also punches it up a bit more, but even without that you can see how just the pillows make a dramatic statement...like they could in one of your rooms! Be bold, be daring....try it! I believe you will be amazed at the results.

Changes don't always have to be large or even expensive to create a new look.  If you didn't see our posting on "Pillow Talk" back a long time ago...you might even want to visit it.  Pillows can be custom-made or you can now even find many fabulous styles, colors, sizes, etc...in your local stores.  With today's "tip" you don't have to delay making some appealing changes in your rooms...start with new pillows.

Have yourself a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Ta-Ta!
