Screen Printed Accent Pillows



Here's a new & funky design trend going on: Printed Pillows! All of these cool cushions are screen-printed and sewn by hand by the lovely diy, crafty community of Etsy. Love it, and never buying a pillow from generic retail stores ever again. Ever.

The pillows shown above all have either some underlying satire, a quirky design sense or are deserving of a hearty 'lol.' AKing Heart's Prism Pillow is a true hand printmaker's pillow through its reusing of test ink colors, and a cool bird tessellation pattern comes to life on another cushion cover. "Le Castor" is listed as a toy, but I would love a beaver on my couch, wouldn't you? So-called inspirational quotes, or rather, quotes with interesting innuendo, are another trend that deserves the limelight.



Clockwise from top left: AKing Heart's "Prism of Color Screenprint Test Pillow," Jael Studios "Keep Calm and Carry On on Burlap," Skinny Laminx's "Cloudbirds in Blackbird Cushion Cover," Earth Cadets' "I Like Your Bike," BUTTER Design Lab's "Let's Get It On,"and Moon and Sparrow's "Le Castor Flannel Toutou,"  via Etsy.com
