Designing the New Digs: Pillows Galore

One of the easiest ways to add a pop of color, texture or pattern to a room is with throw pillows.  I myself, have a hard time committing to color and patterns, but with pillows it doesn't have to be a permanent decision.  They are a design element that can set the tone for a room, but can be easily changed and affordably attained.

I've been trying to hold off on buying more furniture for the new place until we move in and really know what we need.  But in the meantime I've been having a lot of fun looking at pillows and picking our fabrics for the different rooms.  Here's what I'm thinking...

Living Room
In the living/family room I plan to keep the pallete very neutral but bring in interest with texture and details.  These mirrored and fur pillows on our white linen sectional will create a tonal look and will add comfort and a little whimsy where we watch TV.


Sunroom
The "sunroom" I consider more of formal living space.  I'd like to add some sophistication with tailored bordered base pillows and a lush velvet animal print as an accent.  I think the combination with look great on our newly reupholstered sofa. 


Outdoor Cabana
Remember the inspiration board I created for our cabana?  I purchased four of these outdoor palm leaf pillows.  They will adorn the pair of iron loveseats that will create the seating area under our black and white striped cabana.  

I still have some decisions to make on the master and guest bedroom...but it's a start!

The Look For Less: Calypso Sheesha Pillow

We've admired the Sheesha mirrored pillows from Calypso St. Barth by John Robshaw for years! Remember the ones in Olivia Palermo's New York apartment?!

Calypso Sheesha Pillow
Available in 26x26 and 20x20

 I think we can all agree these pillows are pretty fabulous and can add a touch of glam to any space!  I, myself have admired them nearly every trip I take into Calypso.  It's only when I look at the price tag that I'm reminded why I haven't already scooped these beauties up!..At $250-350 a pop, they are a small fortune! And it's not like you can just buy one! Heck, I would love at least three for my sectional! Calypso has great mark downs but I have yet to see this pillow ever go on sale.  I finally realized it was time to seek other alternatives!

While perusing Etsy, we stumbled across a great Sheesha pillow lookalike!
While they are not identical, they achieve a very similar look for a fraction of the price! We're talking $33.00-66.00!  That a huge savings!  Pillow inserts are not included, however the savings is so huge and it's easy enough to get an insert at Joanne's, that it is still well worth it!

Also Available in 26x26 and 20x20

They are available in the same sizes as the Calypso pillows and even additional sizes in between!
There's even another color option!...

We think it's a pretty good look for less!
Perhaps now I can outfit my whole sectional!
