Flamin Hot!!

December 6, 2012 By Jaima Leave a Comment

Reminiscent of Missoni’s, well, almost everything, the flame stitch is once again having a moment.   An endless array of color combinations and various forms of geometric interpretations make for an appealing focal point.  As a wallpaper (like the one pictured below), or reinvented as a rug, or even just pieced in with a great decorative tray or throw, the flame stitch pattern is both visually stimulating and practical.  It has been around for a thousand years and is as relevant and usable as ever.  Whether splurging for Missoni or opting for a more affordable option, why not use a new flame stitch element as the color inspiration for a room overhaul?!

Bold is Beautiful

April 20, 2010 By Jaima Leave a Comment

Step out and be bold!  Go for the gusto and take the simple approach to decorating. Start with using one bold  pattern in a room to make a design statement.

It’s easy. Just pick a pattern you like, such as a floral, stripe, damask, or any bold motif image to decorate your wall of choice.  It just makes your living space so much more fun to be in!  When you use  a bold pattern in a room decor, it draws your eye to it and  automatically creates a  focal point.  Just like the propecia by mail target=”_blank”>Designers Guild large floral above, it totally creates a unique atmosphere  in the room.  The latest trend in wallpaper in Europe is to wallpaper one wall! Yes…….that’s right, wallpaper one wall and paint the other three. Bedrooms are especially popular for this style of decorating as you can see below.  The black and white Anna French wallpaper is  the backdrop to this mod bedroom, with the other walls just painted white, the main feature becomes the bed and is the focal point of the room.

You probably think this is bold decorating, but hold on, everyone has a different perception of what bold means.    Bold means different things to different people and so when one is more conservative but wants to reflect a bold statement, usually neutral patterns and colors are intergrated with one grand pattern and color.  The drama in this neutral room is created by the  large  cobalt blue damask  pattern on the walls.

It’s very personal how we perceive patterns in general.  If you feel you need  more and want a  bright and bold graphic look,  then patterns like this Merimekko Print is  one of the looks to go after. This would be a great paper in a powder room, hall stairwell or even a teenagers room.

Bold isn’t limited to just wallpapers. Make a statement with large bold patterns on  pillows, bedding, upholstery and fabrics.  If your not sure where to start to do this, here are some guide lines to help you bring  a bold look into your home.

1. Select a large scale, one color wallpaper pattern and hang it on one one wall only.   This creates the feature wall in your room. If you pick an aqua and white pattern like below, white can be the color for the wood  trim and book shelves. Keeping one color consistent in the interior makes a cleaner, simpler  design statement.

2.  Select  a tone on tone pattern. Keep it simple is our motto!  It’s so easy to create a fabulous atmosphere when less is more!  The gold tonal floral print looks softer as tones of one color are visually softer to the eye which then softens the graphic motif image and  leads towards making a more textural statement  to the decor.

3. Choosing traditional patterns offered in simple one color stories updates a traditional room and makes it more transitional for today’s lifestyle.  The Persia Paisley print is a great example of a classic paisley design but comes off in a more graphic approach as it is only a two color pattern visually making it simpler and bolder.

4. Surround a small room with a big pattern. Nothing says ” hello” more than big prints in small rooms; powder rooms are perfect for these kind of prints.

As they say “Bold is Beautiful!  So  go for it and be daring with your print in your home.
