Malachite’s forever been a staple in high-end home furnishings. Interestingly, we’re seeing print translations this spring in the easiest home accent, the pillow. From ABC Carpet’s pastel mint swirls to Kelly Wearstler’s Quartz patterns to West Elm’s Agate styles, these stone applications translate from high to mass rather nicely.
I have a soft spot for water colors and gouache. When hues bleed into one another within confined boundaries, the results are nearly always stunning. Here are a few branded examples:
Hermes’ latest tableware collection, entitled Bleus d’Ailleurs, is beautifully complimented with light-infused circles. In the soft accessory world, the silk lison pillows from ABC Carpet share a similar whimsy. Simplifying the process, West Elm’s latest collection of Luli Sanchez pillows is a stunning reminder of a collaboration done right. Using wood as the backdrop, this coffee table top from ABC carpet provides soft results from similar color bleeding.
Also, I wanted to share a personal project I did using a similar technique. The above design is a spliced montage of my husband and I. I made it for our wedding party and the girls from You Plus Me Styling enlarged it to 5′ x 5′. While it’s a bit scary to stare at, the project was really fun to compile and a made for a great evening of cutting and pasting on the carpet.
