3 quick and easy modern updates for spring...
1. Pillow obsession: When I dropped in on a friend this weekend, she had bought three new euro pillows for her couch, and the textile update made the whole room look redone. It is a simple (and not outrageously expensive) way to update, just make sure you get big pillows (at least 20x20 or Euro and in groups of 3) for the most impact.
2. Color class: She added fresh colors through artwork, accessories, and fabrics in multiples for maximum impact. Saturated yellow, charcoal, and gold on white is a great new color combination for spring. A feminine glass tear drop lamp glows in a corner and repeats the color across the room. Any changes in color or other design elements need to be repeated in at least 3 places for unity.
3. Pattern play: A bold chevron patterned lamp with a square shade is a sharp update and compliments the patterned pillows. Don't be afraid to mix patterns. These two patterns both have a tribal element.
Quick, easy, and lots of bang for your buck, this design is a jumping off point to add some color this weekend. I can't wait to find some for my living room.
Gluten free and fabulous,
