COLOR POP-CORAL

Corals, pinks and neutrals blend beautifully in this elegant living room by Amanda Nisbet.

A bit of spring time sprucing-up for me always includes an accessory buying spree.  I'm looking for brilliant color, and coral seems to hit the right note these days.  From pinky orange to juicy red, the color coral creates warmth and brings vibrancy to a room. Choose a pillow, lamp or throw in coral and brighten your room and your mood!

Teal, a complimentary color to coral, pairs beautifully in this chic living room by Celery Kemble.

ANKASA-OUTDOORS

 

I couldn't resist. It may look like I'm pushing the envelope a little, featuring these gorgeous water resistant pillows from Ankasa in the throws of winter, but I discovered them on a recent trip to their Manhattan store and knew they would be the perfect accessory on a porch or poolside chair this summer. Anaska, known for their delicate embroidery and fashion forward home design lines, created a modern collection of duck cloth pillows in a variety of bold, graphic prints with luxurious finishes. Inspired by chic resort locals like Punta Cana, Amalfi and Naples, these pretty pillows are sure to lend a vibrant and sophisticated vibe to any outdoor area-just as soon as the snow clears.
