If your aesthetic is Hollace Cluny but your budget is Ikea, why not spruce up the Ektorp with some colourful hand-crafted cushions from Australian designer Megan Park?

The pillows (from $47) are made from silks, linen and cashmere and are embellished with embroidery, beading and fringing. Mix in as many prints as possible for a look that is playful, bold and entirely your own.

Bed time is suddenly less traumatic for everyone with the new Fall collection from Brooklyn-based kids design firm Atsuyo et Akiko.

The Francophile offerings include gorgeous linen accent pillows with gold embroidery that say "Je T'aime"  and "Bonne Nuit" (it can't hurt to try!).

Okay, so splurging on a Fendi Spy Bag in a credit crunch might be excessive, but how about some Fendi fabric for your flat?

With a huge selection of eye-popping fabrics, linens, towels and cushions from Fendi, Missoni, Etro and Kenzo, new décor store John Paul & Co. is sure to become a destination among the city’s fashion set.

The two-floor showroom also carries select pieces of furniture and home accessories, but it’s the fabrics we’re fawning over.

We’ve got our eye on a Missoni pouf—perfect for our fantasy boudoir.
