Pieni Unikko Pillow Sham - $35.00 [ Link ]
When I think of bold blooms and bright hues, Finnish design house Marimekko is the first brand that comes to mind. An updated neon take on a classic design, this pillow will certainly fit the bill for spring.

Schoolhouse Electric Clock, Industrial Yellow - $275.00 [ Link ]
This vintage reproduction clock is modernized by the bright yellow rim. Who doesn't remember watching that red hand count down the seconds until school was out? I love the large graphic numbers. Even though this is a vintage clock, it feels so modern and fresh, with a storied background.

Jamie Young Lighting Lamp Shade Washed Coral Drum Small - $104.00 [ Link ]
Drum shades look great covered in almost any print, but this stunner in a bright coral with batik floral print is a real beauty.

Suite One Studio Pastel Sorbet Cup Set - $78.00 [ Link ]
These luscious pastel cups can be used for so many things, such as ice cream, nuts, candies — the list goes on. I do know one thing though, I'd make sure whatever I stored inside didn't hide the pretty pastel hues.

Mixed Berries Old Fashioned Teaspoon Set - $35.00 [ Link ]
These vibrantly-hued acrylic spoons are just so fun. They'll spice up even the most "vanilla" of ice cream flavors, and are gorgeous to look at. These bright, hot colors remind me of summer just around the corner.

Setting Fire By Kathranne Knight - $24.00 [ Link ]
I'm in love with the abstract nature of this sunset photo, and the deliciously rich and vibrant coloring. The pale yellow is so complementary to the fiery deep pink and moody purples. It's the perfect print to hang in a drab hallway in need of some life.

Flowie Bouquet Cocktail Napkins - $28.00 [ Link ]
Both the print and color combinations of these cocktail napkins are captivating. The angular roses and strong piping lends a modern, funky edge to a flower print which can sometimes come across as stuffy or overdone.

Herringbone Throw - $250.00 [ Link ]
Which of these gorgeous shades to choose? I'd love to envelop myself in any one of these beautiful throws. Just because the mercury rises, doesn't mean you won't need to cover up on a brisk summer night or fight the chill of an air conditioner.

You're Tops Tiding Decals - $20.00 [ Link ]
Beloved decal queen Shanna Murray just updated her shop with new colors and designs for spring and summer. I have a few sprinkled throughout my home in charcoal and gold, but the new Neon Pink, Matte Fog and Mint are giving me a serious crush.

Alvesta Rug - $450.00 [ Link ]
This handwoven Scandinavian rug boasts such vibrant pinks and aquas. Sized as a runner, this would be great to brighten up a hallway or segment a room.

Spear Bowl - $80.00 [ Link ]
Granted, I could probably close my eyes and click and end up with something I loved from Ferm Living's website, but there's something about this unique mix of colors and the lowly triangle that elevates this bowl to new heights. Not to mention, the size and shape are probably among the most useful you'll find.

Serving Plate Medium - $115.00 [ Link ]
These pretty porcelain serving dishes have a delicate, crackled glaze that lends such an ethereal quality. They also don't quite sit flush, and the movement they impart to the dinner table provides a tangible feeling of organic fluidity.

Thomas Paul Reversible Banner Violet Cotton Pillow - $70.00 [ Link ]
I'm loving the color combination of lavender and coral on this reversible pillow. Graphic prints and bold colors are surefire ways to welcome in the warm weather.

Green And Natural Dog Bowl, Large - $78.00 [ Link ]
Even Fido can usher in spring and summer with this chic bowl. I'd sure be tempted to fill it with some lemons and limes and call it a centerpiece.

Tiny Forest Fabric By Kobayashi - $30.00 [ Link ]
Can't find off-the-shelf textiles that suit your fancy? Pick up a yard or two of fabric and whip up you're own, or find a seamstress to give you a hand. This fabric just screams spring, with its vibrant blooms and grassy background. I could see a few pillows, with the reverse side a bright chartreuse, or some super bold and fun placemats.

This simple print in a bold color gives the eye a peaceful place to rest. Something about the circular wreath shape is calming and elegant.

pupujussi Hi Kelly,

Marimekko is not a Swedish brand but a Finnish iconic brand founded by Armi Ratia. The name Marimekko is a Finnish word meaning Mari's ( a girl's name) dress.

Best regards

Risto from Helsinki, Finland

PrintedArt.com Love these bursts of color! At PrintedArt.com we carry lots of photographs that pop!

We print is various sizes and mount under acrylic with an aluminum dibond backing for a sleek, durable, easy to clean, frameless design. For a matte finish or a more traditional look, we also mount on dibond without acrylic or on stretch canvas.
