If you love style but you are on a budget chances are you will get bored with your decor long before you have the cash to completely redecorate. Home accents, like rugs and pillow, offer an affordable way to update a space that could use a little freshening up. Crate and Barrel offers the kind of home accents that add some real personality to a space.
The exotic pattern of this Yasmine Rug $79.95-$699.00 offer a bountiful bouquet of beautiful colors to brighten your home. On a more practical note, the dark brown background is great for hiding stains!
Yes it is possible to capture the nautical spirit without going overboard with seashells and boat motifs. The crisp stripes in sand and vivid blues of the Zachary Pillow for $24.95 evokes the look you would expect to find on a luxury yacht. Cruise into summer with style by pairing the pillow with white or sand colored stain resistant cushions on a couch or chair.
When I think of pattern I often think of striped or floral patterns like the ones pictured here. It's easy to forget that patterns comes in many forms, like the herringbone weave pattern of this Seluma Magazine Basket for $29.95. The advantage of creating visual interest with a neutral colored accent that with an interesting texture is that it's easier to coordinate with other pieces in the room since clashing colors and patterns is less of an issue. On other words, if covering your floor in an exotic floral design is a bit bolder than you're comfortable with, texture is a virtually foolproof way to introduce pattern into a room.
