Many of us love the clean and elegant look of a neutral white/ivory living space. This photograph shows a living room in neutral tones with design interest coming from brightly colored accessory pillows. Many colors other than white/ivory are considered neutral such as soft butter tones…soft sky grays… bamboo beige and taupe just to name a few possible selections.
Animal Whimsy, our featured pillow would be a great companion to the pillows on the sofa. The intensities (depth of color) of all the pillows are equal and create a bright focal statement for the room. To provide interest in a neutral environment use colorful accessories placed throughout the room to create a warm inviting space.
Other accessories in the room could be of a similar palette of bright colors. These accessories might include a vase of flowers, pillows of colors found in Animal Whimsy placed on pieces of furniture throughout the room. A selection of wall art with varying color tones but same intensity…eclectic and unique small tables…unique lighting and other accessory delights you may find. Let your imagination run wild. Remember, love is in the details.

Design Process
Mapping Your Fabric Selection
Our pillow design is beginning to look like the design map layout previously referred to.
This is also the time to evaluate the layout.
With this step you are far enough along to begin experimenting with trimming ideas.
Next Month: The design starts taking form.
