Welcome back to our master bedroom. Do you remember a few short weeks ago when I said I thought I was “just about finished” in here? If not, you can read about it here. The only tweak I still had on my to-do list for this room was the idea of converting our headboard to an upholstered one. Despite my recent accent pillow fixation (here, here, and here) I really didn’t expect to be adding any more to our bed. And then I went to Target for diapers and sunscreen and made the critical mistake of strolling the perimeter of the store after acquiring said diapers and sunscreen instead of heading directly for the checkout.
What should happen to catch my eye? Two 18″ ikat accent pillows in precisely the shade of orange in our master bedroom. I mean precisely the color, shade, saturation, absolutely-identical-color-orange we have as an accent in the room.
I stood there staring at them for awhile and turning them over in my hands and then I thought, what the heck? If I get them home and hate them I can take them back. But I don’t hate them. I love them. I think they tie the chair and our bedding together even better. I love the layers of color and texture on the bed. The moment I set them on our bed I thought, “Yes! That’s what it needed.” Plus…isn’t there something luxurious-feeling about flopping down onto a mountain of pillows?
Such a lovely master bedroom. Navy and orange is one of my fav combos so I’m already somewhat biased, but you did such a perfect job creating a balance of color and pattern through the space. The new ikat accent pillows are perfect behind that lovely lumbar pillow with herons. Love all the patterns in the space. And your furniture / floor plan arrangement looks as though it flows very nicely and fits the space. I”m gushing, should stop. No surprise, newest follower here.

The Ikat pillows are perfect! I love the punch of colour that they add to your bed, and they tie in perfectly with the rectangular pillow and the chair. You have to keep them – can you return the diapers instead? ;-)
When that happens you HAVE to make the purchase. Especially with orange. They add the perfect addional pop or accent. Love your arrangement. :) Thank you so much for linking up. :)
I, too, am adding orange to my master … and I just adore your pillow find. I agree, it adds the perfect layer to the bed to finish it all off and tie in with your chair!
Thank you so much for sharing at our Crazy for Color link party!

I have been loving all things orange lately! And my bedroom needs some serious color – yours is just the inspiration I need!
I also have a window to the right of my bed – but non on the left. You’ve made it work beautifully!
So glad you joined our Color party!
Pinning this!
