By Leave a Comment

You want the look of Hollywood glam in a subtle way but not sure how to pull it off? Select patterns that reflect the elegance of the past and mix them with modern prints. “Ammi” is a contemporary pattern that is printed on white in a pearl glitter ink. The Glitter creates a subtle bling affect on the wall and adds a touch of simple luxury to any decor. Mix it with “Solana“, a faux vinyl embossed grasscloth. It’s great for durability but feels and looks all natural. Finish the interior with a timeless Chinoiserie toile fabric with a pop of Fuschia and your subtle Hollywood Glam look is born!

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?!

Florals are making a triumphant return to home fashion.   Whether you are a minimalist who loves retro styled prints or a traditionalist who desires the classics, there is a floral to suit everyone’s style. Make a statement by creating a feature wall with this dramatic tulip wallpaper “Dutch Treat”. The pattern itself was inspired from a vintage fabric from Europe.  Historically, tulips are among one of the most popular springtime garden flowers.

The name tulip originated from the Persian word, “dulband”, which means turban.   Suitably named, the tulip flower resembles a wrapped turban when in full bloom.  Turkish men centuries ago wore tulips tucked into their turbans.

Symbolically, tulips represent fame and perfect love, however their meanings change depending on the color of the tulips.    Red tulips mean, “believe me” and are a declaration of love. A bouquet of tulips symbolizes grace and elegance.

Every pattern used in decorating has a story to tell.  This room is about grace and elegance, visually and symbolically. Bring meaning and style to your décor through the fascinating world of pattern symbolism and elevate your decorating to the next level.
