Like Beige but Want a Pop of Color? Add a RADOST Pillow!

I love color in my outfits and in my home. However, I understand that many people prefer muted colors, especially in larger furniture as not to have their space overtaken by one particular color. But there is still true joy out of even a small spec of color in any space. Let's take a look at how you may incorporate my colorful RADOST™ throw pillows in your home. 
One of my favorite Instagram stars, TBR - To Be Real with Tanika, kindly featured my In Bloom (Silver) decorative pillow in her lovely New York City apartment. What do you think? 

But now onto what you can do in your own home ... If you have a beige sofa or an arm chair, as many people do, you can add a story to the space. I believe textiles tell stories of their designers but also of whose who put them into their homes. My throw pillows all come with stories of joy and of appreciation for the world around us. Take a look below at several home decorating ideas.

First, here is a photo of my Fruit Basket pillow on a beige sofa accompanied by two solid magenta pillows. Use what you already own and just add a fresh take on your favorite pieces. The pillow beautifully picks up on the magenta and blends in while adding lovely colors from fruit. I took this photo of fruit displayed at a market in Prague, Czech Republic. and let's be honest, I bought the fruit and ate all of it. I bet you have stories like that too :) 

Second, I love rain. Rain brings nurture our our surroundings, makes the world shine, and rain drops seems to have a magic of their own. This Rain Drop pillow's design comes out of an extreme close up of rain drops. One day it poured and when I stepped outside, I spotted this huge rain drops on my patio table. Now, you can have the magical spirit of the moment in your own home. The pillow ads a pop of color, yet its texture goes well with a simple arm chair like the one seen below.

Many of your are art lovers. You create your own art or you visit art galleries and soak in the beauty of paintings and go home inspired to put art on your home's walls. The below Dreaming of Color decorative pillow started as a monoprint. I love monoprints and do a bunch of them regularly. I love the unexpected results, the surprise once I left the paper and see what shape my paints took on. 

And finally, many of you are nature lovers. You spend time outside, soaking up the sun, and snapping photos of beautiful places you visit. I do the same. My last decor suggestion is to add the Positive Vibrations pillow into your home. The pillow hold a photo of trees reflecting on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The water, with its constant movement, plays with the reflection and creates these beautiful lines. It is almost like nature is painting its own artwork and we can have a moment of a wonderful time outside at any time in our homes.
