Hi, friends!! Happy Friday!!
I hope that you all had a great week and that this Friday caps off a productive, happy week for each of you!
In many of my conversations about decor, many friends and clients share that they want to change the look of a room in their home, but REALLY don't want to commit to changing a paint color or pay for new furniture. They want a new feel but just don't want to spend the time or effort to dramatically re-decorate a room to suit their new look.
The good news is that there are so many different options that can deliver the change that you want with minimal effort! New curtains or a new rug can dramatically change the personality of a room in an instant. However, I want to touch on one of my FAVORITE decor items and our topic today, throw pillows!! There are SO many options out there for such wonderful prices that you simply can't go wrong. I know many people overlook throw pillows because they "don't serve a purpose", but in the decor world, they can! Also, there are so many patterns and styles out there that you can easily find pillows that are decorative but functional at the same time. So, without further adieu, here are some of my favorite combinations.

You can take something simple like a circle pattern and mix it with something a bit more complicated, but complimentary in the color category.
Here's another example of mixing patterns- these are a bit more modern and I love the colors combination! Yellow & gray is so very in these days!

This is a perfect example of a neutral combination with a LOT of style! This Layla pillow from Crate & Barrel is so simple, but SO stunning!

This pillow would provide lots of substance while letting the cream show stopper take center stage!
I'm not sure if you're like me at all, but I also like to see the finished product, or see HOW these looks play together. So, here's a few examples that show just HOW MUCH a few throw pillows can bring a room together!

*Notice how well the different patterns and colors play off of each other? Not something you would pick in the store, but they come together beautifully in this room!!
Remember the Layla pillow from Crate & Barrel? Designer Melissa Warner used them in this room and they are gorgeous!!

This final picture is a perfect example of how patterns can play off of each other to tie a room together, and how the right throw pillow can finish the job! Notice that on the left couch, a solid color is used, while on the right, cream couch a bold, complimentary pattern is used.

Hope you guys enjoy!! Happy decorating, and here's to making beautiful spaces no matter where we are! See you next week!
