As we leave behind a blustery winter and sprint into spring, we are often quick to wipe away all signs of the previous season, especially in our home's decor. Warmer hues like rust and persimmon quickly get the boot in exchange for pastels and cooler hues.
A design dilemma of my own prompted this ideabook: I'm looking for accent pillows to transition my titanic rust-hued sofa into spring. Clearly replacing the sofa is not an option, but finding colors that cool the room's atmosphere sounds like a more realistic plan. If you also have rust accessories in your home, this ideabook shows you can live with this heady hue all year.
