I am in love with so many different patterns right now! I have a vision of my living room being full of a variety of patterns once I'm finished with the makeover I'm doing in there. I want to overwhelm the eye with so many conflicting patterns that their collective diversity creates a sense of unity. Is this even possible? I'm not sure, but I plan on finding out. So far, I've got my eye on Moroccan-inspired patterns, geometric, houndstooth, ikat, stripes, florals... I know, you think I'm crazy! Well, maybe I am. But this needs to be attempted, I can't stop thinking about it. It looks good in my head, I just hope it looks good in reality when I finally put it all together. Here's what's inspiring me:
1. Two of my recent purchases - this Moroccan box and floral pillow:
2. The houndstooth fabric I used to re-cover my lamp shade:
3. I love this rug! Especially in blue. A grey rug would be nice too, but I've already got a grey sofa, so why not choose a colour that pops next to it? I might as well take advantage of having a glass coffee table that will allow more of the rug to show!
4. ANYTHING Greek key-patterned. If I'm not careful, I could over-do this one!
5. Ikat, ikat, ikat...
6. I love black-and-white combos, especially stripes. I would love to get a Queen Ann style bench like this one, or even two x-benches to tuck under a console table near the entryway:
7. I bought a couple of inexpensive feather pillow inserts from IKEA and I would love to make pillow covers out of something like this lattice fabric:
I think that's enough for now, you get the idea. :)
