I came across Julia’s blog not too long ago, and I love her eye for style and really enjoyed her recent Leap of Faith series. So I was excited when she agreed to guest post on her current favorite patterns for the home! Enjoy!
Hi! Julia here from The Urban Slant. I was so delighted when Lisa asked me to guest post while she is getting fabulously tanned in Hawaii. I have a serious affinity for pattern, and thought I’d share my three favorite patterns right now.
1. Chevron
Even though this pattern is everywhere lately, I cannot get enough of it. I love how mod it is, yet how it can anchor an entire room. My favorite use of it is with thick black and white, and on delicate pieces like the bowl.
2. Ikat
This is such a versatile pattern that adds a warm bohemian vibe to any space. I have ikat pillows on my couch and love how they warm up the space. I would LOVE a throw like the one above. Don’t the colors just scream “take me to Morocco!”
3. Asuka
This is one of the newer patterns I’ve fallen in love with. The gold flower pattern is so chic and feminine that I know it will be in my future home. I’m thinking in the master bedroom, or in my boudoir (if I’m lucky enough to have one).
Thanks for having me today Lisa! I hope you will all stop by The Urban Slant for daily reads on travel, fashion, design and urban life. xo
Love those Chevron dresser drawers and rug!
I’m not usually one for wallpaper, but I love it in that asuka color and print!
Three great patterns that I still love too. Do you think chevron and ikat are on their way to becoming classic patterns now? They’ve maintained their popularity for so long now, when I thought for sure they’d fade away!
I didn’t even know these patterns had names! Well, I guess I probably knew they had names but had no idea what they were. I have to admit that I’m a chevron addict myself (blog background and everything), but it’s cool to see someone talking about another pattern.
I love the asuka wallpaper, but had no idea the pattern was called that! Thanks for teaching me something new! Great post!
Ikat is practically an obsession for me these days. In fact, I’m wearing an Ikat shirt as I type this!
