A leopard velvet pillow in burnt orange and blue, tufted rather than printed, with fringe at the edge.

The burnt orange does the heavy lifting and the blue keeps it from getting loud. Because the pattern is tufted, texture catches the light before the spots do. Twenty inches square.

For the room that has its neutrals in order, the friend whose apartment runs vivid, or a housewarming gift with some nerve. Or for you, for the sofa that has gone beige.
