Swoon. If a bright orange pouf doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will. What a great ottoman for a neutral-based room or for extra seating in a family room or guest room.
Bright Stockholm Office Storage Boxes
I love using these containers to hold past issues of magazines, as well as my printer paper. The bright colors pop against any background.

Yes, please! I can't wait to add these to a newly painted white dresser. I like to add just a little unexpected color and charm to a simple piece.
Quad Persimmon Stool
I like these pops of persimmon for under the table. In a small space they are super handy to pull out when friends stop by. I would also use two together as a coffee table setup.

This is a fantastic collection of pieces that adds a punch of persimmon. I love the shape of the lamp and would place it in a bedroom or living room. The lantern and pillows are vibrant and would even look cute on an outdoor patio.
