A magic pillow for where (you guessed it) the magic happens… or for just supporting your lower back while watching television on the sofa. Paula Coulthard has a collection of word gems written with ribbon on pillows, and while they’re not yet available through her webshop, you can find quite a few through Douglas + Bec. A couple of other pillows shown below.

How about a snake on your sofa, or a crocodile on your bed? Maybe even a rabbit or a barn owl, just to keep you company? The Fable and Exotic pillows give you your own menagerie without the mess. Both collections are made in collaboration with animal photographer Valerie Shaff.

Designer Mika Barr has released her first collection in a series named Geo, a pattern derived from the world of Origami paper-folding. Pretty terrific, don’t you think? So terrific it might require begging/purchasing of luggage space from the next European traveler to the states. Or paying extra for international shipping, of course.

Talk about minimal, these pillows are super simple in design and color scheme. The grey and black wool will not interfere with your sparse interior but they will certainly add to your comfort level. Choose between three designs: Imperfect Black Plus, Black square at Angle, and Imperfect Black X.

21″ square.

Ooo, more eye trickery, and this time it benefits our derrière. Grain de Couleur specializes in digital printing on fabric, and as you can see here, they’ve created these seat cushions that have the look of other various materials, front and back. They are a bit on the smallish (and poofy) side, so take note of the size before buying a full set for a dining chair makeover.

We posted the earlier versions years ago, but now that 2011 is out, it’s time for a reminder. Top Google searches are screen printed on cotton canvas, giving a glimpse to the most popular things/people/events/etc. from years past.

If you’re handy enough with a sewing machine (or needle and thread) you could whip one of these up in no time, but for anyone else that would prefer immediate gratification, these cloud pillows by Donna Wilson are slightly on sale from Tate Online Shop. Also, if you’re into the whole cloud shaped pillow thing, check out the super cute Giant Ricestorm Cushion from noodoll (it has a tiny lightning bolt in its hand).

Lambswool cloud shaped cushion.

If you’re in need of a cushion that doesn’t clash with your existing color scheme, black and white is always a good bet… and, as a close second (or third, rather) grey is an excellent choice as well. These two cushions from CUSTHOM have a simple circle design that add just the right amount of interest. And, if you like these pillows, you’ll like the Curve Mugs (£18.50).

Here’s hoping you’ll have a nice Memorial Day today… we’ll return tomorrow with regularly scheduled posts.

And, should you want to show your patriotism by sporting a flag pillow, Williams Sonoma will fulfill your wish: Embroidered American Flag Pillow, $45.95

These Build Your Block Pillows by Patrick Chirico were inspired by the various buildings found in Brooklyn. Pick the buildings and colors that you like most and you have your own little bit of New York City on your bed or sofa. The Mini Stuff is pretty cute too. (Should be noted that this would be great for kids and adults alike.)

Dark cobalt blue linen overprinted with an opaque silver, hexagonal grid pattern with reflective sheen. The shiny silver pattern contrasts beautifully with the matte blue linen.

Are you familiar with Rouge du Rhin and their line of pillows? There’s all kinds of nice geometric patterns to choose from in laid-back grey/white/black/red color schemes. Sundsvall Black and Oslo II shown above; both are 18 x 18″ for $125.00 each.

Do you go crazy for moon-inspired products too? Are you close to losing it over this e-nor-mous floor cushion? If your home doesn’t have something crazy/nutty/childish, I think this would be good compromise. It’s the moon, in a floor cushion.

Huge, comfortable floor cushion with big thick moleskin-finish outer. Zipped.
Size 90cm x 50cm

Check out these new pillows from De La Espada. Sure, they’re quiet in terms of color and pattern, but sometimes you need that in a room, especially if you have other pieces that tend to overwhelm. Personally, I’m pretty taken with the Chicken Wire Cushion ($180.00) because of the pattern and slightly undercover country vibe. Small Jax Cushion ($145.00) shown on left.
