Tonic Living is thrilled to be featured in the Summer 2026 issue of Style at Home magazine in designer Samantha Pynn's Design Lesson column, "Sweet & Chic Summery Vibes." The feature explores how to create a relaxed, collected space through the thoughtful layering of color, pattern, texture, and finishes. Inspired by statement floral drapery, the room's palette blends soft blues, pinks, greens, and warm neutrals for a fresh take on summer decorating.
Pillows That Pull the Palette Together
To complement the room's soft, layered palette, Samantha selected a mix of Tonic Living pillows that bring colour, texture, and personality to the space. Featured in the design are the Florence Velvet 22x22 Pillow, Rosewood, a soft dusty pink velvet pillow, along with the Lane 15x32 XL Lumbar Pillow, Chambray, and Celeste 14x20 Lumbar Pillow, Domino.
Together, the combination of dusty rose, soft blue, and graphic black-and-white accents creates a balanced look that feels both polished and relaxed. The varied sizes, textures, and patterns add visual interest while supporting the room's easygoing summer aesthetic.
