Ay Yi Yi, not one wink of sleep the whole night, not sure if it was the heat or all the exciting stuff going thru my head or the little furry thing on my pillow, or the clam pizza at a new fab restaurant but either which way not one second of sleep. And today is a busy one and a hot one so I’m a little stressed to say the least.
For once there will be little yabbering as we’re getting down to business pronto as I wanted to talk for a second about pattern. Pattern like texture (as I say often enough) is the decorating worlds equivalent to herbs and spices. Fundamental in giving a space some zing, pattern in my book feels often neglected. Not sure if that is because we are scared of it and therefore avoid it or whether we feel it will make rooms feel way to crazy. Either way if I could give one piece of advice it would be to add it, add it through rugs, cushions, vases, paintings whatever you need to do just add it. A bit like food without seasoning and herbs a room without pattern to me feels like its missing a beat.
Some pictures to inspire of rugs the most, repeat the the the most fabulous way of adding pattern to a space.
These beauties are from http://www.loomrugs.com.au
Happy Weekend
Thanks! Rugs have been the Bain of my life as well as statement lighting. Will you be doing statement lighting? (but not too expensive) how’s the new shop going? Maybe you could serve pizza there with a big ole pizza oven that can also make toasties. Enjoy the weekend.
I will I am sure be doing something on statement lighting. The new store is coming along slowing searches are still commencing so not in yet. Would love to serve pizza but thats a whole different license and I really wanted this to be more flower store and cafe ish as opposed to restauranty are there are a ton around here doing really fab pizzas
I SO agree about pattern. I MUST have it around me! It’s good to have the reassurance of a professional decorator
Zing! Thanks Abigail. Love these rugs!
I have just contacted them to see if we can also retail these here in the UK.
A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do think that you should write more about this subject, it might not be
a taboo subject but typically people don’t talk about such issues. To the next! Kind regards!!
