Coastal Comfort and Chic Details: Exploring the Decor Offerings at Southern Palms

Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) —  Located in Orange Beach, Alabama, Southern Palms Furniture & Decor is a destination for those looking to transform their vacation homes and investment properties into a "Coastal Oasis". Specializing in curated furniture packages, full-service interior design, and items to enhance any interior space. Southern Palms offers a coastal-inspired online shop and a showroom at 25405 Perdido Beach Blvd. Suite 9. The store focuses on providing exceptional coastal décor. 

 

Freda Butler, owner and lead designer at Southern Palms, has a special appreciation for textiles, stating, "We really, really love pillows." Pillows and throws are a major part of their offerings. These accessories are key to achieving the comfortable, tailored design the store promotes for vacation homes. “A pillow can change a room from drab to that coastal oasis you’re looking for,” Butler says.

 

One standout item, for example, is the "Lucy's Favorite" collection. These pillows are made of linen and cotton, feature zipper enclosures, and are available in sizes like 26x26 Euro and 14x20. Adding to their unique charm, the "Lucy's Favorite" pillows are designed and made by local female artist Amber Ivy, based in Mobile, AL, making them a distinct addition to any room.
