Make a Change- With Pillows!

Have you ever stepped back and really looked at your main living spaces? Do you ever feel like your living room could use a little extra something? Do you love to change your mind?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, we have something phenomenal to show you! You can change the look of your room, daily if you would like, with a couple of handy tips! Watch and learn...

We have created a rainbow of looks, literally! Start with a neutral base- in this case a gorgeous white sofa. Although this sofa is white, we were able to create a number of looks using only 2 things: a throw and some fun pillows! You can change this look per your mood, per the season, or just because!

Need a calming space? How about a beautiful spa blue throw and funky and crisp flower pillows!







Or maybe a rich chocolate throw with contrasting red pillows to add some vibrant color!









Orange can be an excellent color to pop to add energy into a room or transition into fall.









Gray has become the hottest new neutral in the design world. Splashing yellow with the contrast of black and gray is a more contemporary way to welcome summer or spring.








What other color is a huge trend right now? Purple!! Combining shades of purples is a fun way to follow this trend- also a very welcoming color for fall!









Vibrant purple can be majestic and fun. Add a touch of whimsy by memorializing your pet as a pillow- we all know they end up on the sofa one way or another!








Making these simple changes is the easiest and least expensive way to recreate your space as often as you please. Add a touch of fun to your sofa today!

Special Guest Blogger! Stephanie Koenig


Ever wonder about Blinds and Shades? As Dream Interiors Blinds Specialist, we welcome Stephanie Koenig! Our Guest blogger this week!


Hello All!

Just finishing round one of training courses in blinds, We studied shutters in-depth. Shutters are a classic look that never go out of style. Providing great sun protection, they are available in hardwood, polyvinyl, and MDF. Finish options are endless and vane size vary, giving you 5 options to choose from. Did you know that we can custom color shutters to match your trim? If you don't have trim we have a framing option that would save you TONS of money in trim costs! Dream Interiors has great pricing on shutters and depending on your room, budget, and style we can help you determine which is best for you.


Dream Interiors has special pricing on the blinds and shades right now AND rebates from Hunter Douglas on top of that. So if you have 1 window or many....Now is the time! Give me a call, I would love to help you through!


Until next time....
