And I am definitely a material girl – that is, I love gorgeous fabrics! A rich, dramatic print can transform a room, brightening up a pale palette, injecting life and color, and drawing the eye to focal pieces within the space. I adore upholstering sofas or chairs in an unexpectedly vibrant print to add contrast in a room of neutrals, or experimenting with bold curtains or bedlinen. And these days I’m loving the kind of prints and patterns that are just screaming out to be noticed!

The fabrics on the bed above come from a design house called Tulu, which specializes in bold, bright prints and hues. So many of these beautiful prints are inspiring me these days. I especially like the rich shades they use. Used against a crisp white background, the colors ‘pop’ even more, creating a really spectacular effect.

One of the other companies I’m really loving right now is Les Indiennes, which produces a line inspired by the colors and shapes of India.

The great thing about prints like these is that they can really infuse a room with personality, even one with a simple, rustic décor. I’ve fallen for the rich, saturated hues, the beautiful patterns, and the pretty linen-like backgrounds.

I love the patterns too – especially the paisley prints, which are so reminiscent of traditional Indian designs. Even in the simplest of color combinations, they look so elegant!
