I have been struggling with finding the right color
combinations for sections of my apartment. Although I have a studio, I wanted
to separate the “living room” from the “bedroom” section. Thus I have slightly
different color schemes for each. My “bedroom” section is white furniture with
white bedding and accent throw pillows. I found the bird pillow at a Marshalls
and wanted to build the whole bed set around it. I am still debating on the
peach pillows but for now, they will do. (They have removable covers which help
immensely if/ when I redecorate) I like the idea of white bedding with a pop.
I’m looking to invest in a more down comforter for the winter, but until then.
My living room couch is a coffee tan color. I wanted to do an Americana theme
but I have settled for the coffee tan color, whites, and red accents. The side
tables and coffee table being white, I needed a little pop. I found the red
throw pillows at Walmart for $5 each but I couldn’t find any oversized and
comfy white pillows I liked. So I was researching online and found the no-sew
DIY pillow covers. They are interchangeable and I made for half the price
thanks to Hobby Lobby coupons and discounts. Now I have three white pillows
with different prints, two red accent pillows, and I am debating on throwing in
another pillow. (Picture to the right is a preview of my apartment) I am also excited to make plaid covers for Christmas time and
just pop off the white ones and switch. I also have two throws I want draped
over my couch, giving it a very homey feel. I still haven’t found a rug that I
love and with the wood floors, I feel like I need one. So that will be my next
project. I’m planning a trip to Kansas City once their Ikea opens so hopefully
I find one!
Here is the link to the DIY pillow cover tutorial (for
someone not crafty, this was super easy!)
