I’m lovin’ this whole blue-and-brown combo that’s sprouting up everywhere, from bangles to bikinis. So I adored the awesome printed throw pillow that I found at Our Home in Mall of Asia (by the way, that place is HUGE!), plus the other pillows in similar colors. It’s only P349.75 for a set of three!

Buying pillows and other accessories is a cheap and easy way to add color to your space. Rather than buying a couch in the color-of-the-moment, you can keep walls and big pieces of furniture neutral, and just add splashes of color through a rug, your window treatment, some picture frames, a few candles, a throw draped across a chair…you get the idea. It’s also a great way to keep up with the color—you can’t repaint your room whenever there’s a hot new color, can you?

Just a couple more tips when using color: Try not to go overboard. If you fall in love with one color, try varying the shades you use in a room from subtler versions to bolder hues. (For example: royal blue pillows, sheets, curtains, and rug in your bedroom might be a little too…much. Instead, try powder blue, navy, and maybe a midnight blue.) And don’t be afraid to experiment! you might be able to come up with an unexpectedly funky color pairing.

Our Home also has branches in SM Megamall, SM Southmall, SM City Fairview and the SMs in Lucena, Dasmarinas, Pampanga, Baguio, Batangas, Bacoor, Iloilo, Marilao, and Cagayan de Oro.
