Lotus & Fig: Palampour by Zara Home

pink + orange: one of the ones that got away at zara home

Of the many Zara Home items I couldn't get before they began shipping to the US, this lively palampour was one of my favorites. The lightness of the paisley allows you to see the complementing background orange so well. The pinks are searingly bright but not over used. The deeper shades of orange (sienna) and browns ground both feature colors, neutralizing their vibrancy. A perfect accent for a calming room. 

And they didn't limit this pattern just to a pillow, oh no...

function and beauty in one simple piece

The matching lampshade also has a certain joie de vivre. Love the way the brown trim draws out the browns in the additional leaves in the pattern. The overall effect is earthier than the pillow. Hard to go wrong with pink and orange get together.
