Easy and quick seasonal decorating changes can be achieved simply by switching out pillows and pillow covers. Green is my favorite color, so I fell in love with the gorgeous green Safflower Ally Cotton Velvet Pillow Cover Pillow Cover from Birch Lane. I ordered two of the green pillow covers and I just love them! Unlike the heavier velvet pillow covers I have used in the past, this velvet cotton fabric is so soft and lightweight, making the pillow covers appropriate for using year round.

There is just a small amount of green in the rug, so I used additional green decorative accents in the dining room such as artwork, moss spheres and topiaries to really bring out the green and to coordinate with the green pillow covers on the church pew.

The accessories I used were all inspired by the Birch Lane products I shared in my Spring Decor Refresh Mood Board post.

The whole family loves the rug! It is so soft underfoot, and so far it has been very easy to keep clean by lightly sweeping.

I really had been wanting to experiment with incorporating more blue around our home for spring and summer, so the rug was the perfect place to start since it has so much blue in it. Our dining room and living room are adjacent to one another, so it was important to carry some of the rug’s colors over into the living room for a stylish and cohesive look.

Here you can see how I used blue pillow covers on our leather chesterfield sofa in the living room to coordinate with the blue in the area rug in the dining room. Additional moss spheres and greenery in the living room also provided continuity of style between the rooms.

When I ordered the green velvet pillow covers I was so happy with them that I ended up ordering some additional velvet pillow covers  in slate to use on the sofa.

In my opinion the slate blue is more of a classic “Kentucky” blue…the perfect blue for my old Kentucky home! For summer I combined a beautiful orange tree tapestry pillow with the blue velvet. The oranges pick up on the “spicy” colors of the rug in the dining room.

It’s amazing how easily new textiles and a few simple accessories can stylishly transform any space in no time. I am loving how my Spring-to-Summer decorating refresh with Birch Lane has turned out! The bright colors in the living room and dining room along with all the pretty sunshine just give me all the happy spring and summer vibes!
