March 22, 2013 · Comments { 6 }

Okay, I know. Spring just arrived and I’m rushing you into summer months! But, just had to show you images of what West Elm has in stores now for summer. One trends you’ll see in the collection is the use of vibrant color … from watermelon to lagoon blue there is sure to be a shade you’ll love! Adding a colorful new rug, chair or throw pillow is an easy way to give your home a fresh look for summer.

I’m leading off with my favorite image. I’m in love with these gorgeous silk pillows by Pauline Reyes (below). A native of Mexico City, Pauline’s pillows were inspired by the vibrant colors and patterns in the Talavera pots her mom had in the house.

The hue most associated with nature, harmony and growth, is ramping up for a big year because last week Pantone announcement that Emerald Green (17-5641) is the official color of 2013. The jewel-tone is quite a contrast from last year’s energizing, Tangerine Tango.

Emerald Green’s a beautiful hue for interiors and you can’t go wrong pairing it with blues, oranges and yellows. Incorporate this harmonious color in your home by adding an emerald textiles – upholstered chairs, area rugs or throw pillows. Use the color as an accent by painting dining chairs, a chest of drawers or the front door in this rejuvenating hue? – Benjamin Moore’s Emerald Isle is a close match.

“The human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “As it has throughout history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate. Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world. This powerful and universally appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors.”

Friday Find: Ankasa

December 7, 2012 · Comments { 3 }

The world of fashion and home decor often overlap. One influences the other as artists on each side push new boundaries. It’s particularly exciting to see designers cross fields successfully. And Fashion designers, Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia have done just that. Known as visionaries in the field of textiles, the design duo’s home brand, Ankasa is a big hit. Launched with the mantra that “luxurious fashion forward textiles could translate to any design aesthetic,” Ankasa features a gorgeous line of pillows, bedding, furniture and accessories. They also have opened two stores in Manhattan I’m dying to see in person. But, for now I’ve been swooning over their collection online.
