1. Urban Outfitters, $19.99 (16" x 16"; cotton)
This one could work in, yes, a teenager's room, but also in the living room of someone with a taste for contemporary pop art (or simply someone with a sense of humor). The numbers are made of stitched-on strips of fabric, so there's even some texture going on. A heck of a deal for under twenty bucks.
2. Target, $24.99 (dimensions unavailable)
One big, bold graphic on a pillow adds some excitement to a room without making it look too busy.
3. Crate and Barrel, $24.95 (sale price) (20" x 20"; spun polyester)
I love the way this is floral but not girly, cheerful but not loud, and manages to look like Eastern European folk art or something in the process.
4. CB2, $24.95 (18" x 18"; cotton velvet)
Neon velvet with decorative stitching is subtler than it sounds.
5. Ikea, $14.99 (22" x 22"; cotton velvet)
This not-quite-houndstooth pattern is wonderfully crisp and gender-neutral.
