Do you ever get distracted and find yourself completely off track? Well, that’s what happened with this post. No, I didn’t wake up on this rainy Thursday morning thinking “Hmmm, anatomical accent pillows are all the rage these days”, although apparently they are. Somehow, between an intent to write on a super serious topic and taking a Pinterest break to search decor ideas for my ever in progress 1920’s home, I stumbled upon a completely new subject de jour. So, nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, meet medical home decor. 

I am constantly decorating and redecorating my home. Just ask my husband. It seems that I can never quite get everything right. One look is a bit too modern, another just not me. Fortunately, some creative, crafty types with medical know-how have designed the perfect home accessories for medical professionals- anatomical accent pillows. Just right for your clinic break room and perhaps even your living room couch, anatomical art makes the ideal addition to any medical professional’s decorating scheme. Here are my favorite medically themed throw pillows.

Master the muscles of the hand, or the art of taking a peaceful nap, with this dextrous creation.

 

Fingerprint Pillow

 

Forget zebra, fingerprint is definitely the next big pattern. Whorls and arches give just the right hint of anatomical edge to your decorating approach.

No, these anatomically correct throw pillows won’t make the cut when it comes to adorning your EZ chair, but they are a fun accessory for the specialized NP or PA.

This throw pillow may be a bit more textbook than many medical providers can handle in their own homes but would make an excellent addition to any waiting or exam room. 

 

Vintage Heart Anatomy Throw Pillow

 

Bold and bright with understated detail, this cushioned creation is perfect for the NP or PA with a cardiology bent.
