You've got to admit, nothing adds oomph to a room quite like beautiful throw pillows.

You can do the whole room in whites and other neutrals, and then rotate colorful pillows in and out to completely change the vibe of the space.

In doing so, you don't need to commit to bright paint or expensive furniture in a color that you might (will) get sick of after a few years.

Just imagine the room above without the pillows. It would lack the beautiful colors and layers that make it awesome.
Here's a bunch of bright ones that caught my eye:
-via Urban Outfitters / I love the graphic designs and the combination of colors.
-via Jonathan Adler / Beautiful! That saturated pink had me at hello...
-via Leah Duncan / I love the combination of bright and muted. Also seen HERE.
-via Jonathan Adler / He definitely doesn't shy away from color! (Rainbow) sequins aren't exactly cozy, but they make a happy statement.
-via Barrington Blue / Vintage Textiles by Carrie Olshan (click on the picture to check out her beautiful site).
-via Antropologie / Mara Hoffman Eye Pillow
-via pbteen / These would be super cute in a kid's room. Personalization is always fun.
-via Caitlin Wilson Textiles / This unlikely mix of patterns and colors is uh-mazing.
-via etsy.com (Sukan - Organic Modern Bohemian Throw Pillow) / These kilim pillows are so beautiful, but like the sequins above, they more for looking at than for actually cuddling up next to. They're usually pretty scratchy and dense.
But obviously, they don't all have to bring in bright pops of color. Sometimes layering a bunch of muted tones can have just as big of an impact:
-via H&M home / Gray, white, black, blue...the varying patterns and textures, and the addition of text, make this combination totally work.
-via H&M home / The green sofa brings in the major color, while the muted tones, the silver metallic and the printed elephant add major interest. I'd love to chill on that set-up!
-via Etsy, (Going Hunting - Red and Cornstalk - Modern Print Hand Printed Pillow Cover) - by Simka Sol.
-via Dwell Studio / I'm a big fan of their prints - lots of unlikely combinations that play so well off each other.
Are you inspired yet? I personally want to get rid of all of my throw pillows and go crazy ordering a bunch of new ones. BUT, a new sofa (which I'm dying for) is probably in order first. Or new backpacks for Back-To-School. Or you know, paying my mortgage. :)
Oh well, a girl can dream....
