Throw pillows to go with this print?
I was recently gifted a print of this:

I love it and want to redecorate my living room around it. I haven't had it framed yet, but my couch and walls are beige, and the rest of my furniture is dark wood. I was thinking light hues of blue and yellow (I don't like super bright, and the dark wood should keep it from getting too cutesy or pastely, yea?) but I can't really seem to find any throw pillows, or even fabric to make my own covers.
Have you seen anything around that you think would work? TIA!
Re: Throw pillows to go with this print?
Here is a blue and a yellow idea. They aren't light, though. But they are in the same family of colors. Your room is really neutral, so it makes it easier to use big colors pops on the wall art and the throw pillows. I think both of these could be neat. Also, your piece of art looks to be more on the contemporary side instead of the traditional side, so these pillows mesh with that. Mid-range prices.

Oooh, I like the navy pillow. I hadn't thought of navy, I was being pretty literal with the colors from the photograph.
As for my style, it's pretty eclectic, which is why I tend to keep things so neutral. It's difficult for me to stick with one style when I'm out looking for pieces. My H prefers a more traditional look, like a Pottery Barn catalog. We're both big fans of natural elements, too.
