Paisley, Ikat and Asian Decor


 We are seeing more and more designs with a wonderful rich influence.  A mix of paisleys,Ikat, and Asian  patterns.  This style has a distinctive flair.

We wish we could see more of this rug. It is so pretty.

The drapery has a playful fabric with an influence from India. Notice how the map grounds all the color in the room.

The blue paisley patterned wall paper is wonderful. This Indian classic is showing up in fashion and home decor.

A shop in Summerland California showed so many items with this influence. 






































Again, we all flipped over Mark Sikes' home. The wall paper and fabrics in the room display this distinct rich feel.

This bedroom was beautifully done with this style. The wall paper and fabrics on the bed are well coordinated. The tad of turquoise adds interest to the design.
Designers Tilton & Fenwick














We love this look and find it interesting and creative. Designer Michael Smith's living room  has so many patterns and artistic objects placed around the room.The screen is amazing. What do you think?






Thanks again, Julie and Danni

  8. I have always loved paisley. It is certainly a classic that has stood the test of time and is perfect in my home full of boys as it is a bit more masculine than floral fabric. Beautiful pictures! x Sharon

  9. I love these rooms especially Mark Sikes. What I like about these rooms is that they're well done, not stuffy and still livable. Perfect examples!

    Happy Holiday!

  10. I agree the mix is beautiful. I have always loved paisley. My first big purchase on "good furniture" was a pair of Bergere chairs from Century with paisley fabric...still have them 20 years later! Beautitful examples of how well these fabrics work together.

  14. I am drawn to the quietness of the Katy Ireland bedroom and Michael Smith's dining room. There is a heirachy to the patterns and colors I relate to. In some of the other images, my eye has trouble finding places to settle. Especially in the shot of Michael Smith's living room. Stylistically, I'm quieter.

    Cheers,
    John

  16. oh girls these are splendid examples you've amassed! love the developing change from muted belgian to vibrant patterns, blending patterns and color.
    yesterday at a design appointment my seamstress, who has a masters in textiles, said that ikat designs signified the region they were woven in and she could recite each. you may already know that, i sure did not!

  17. Wow. I haven't thought about paisley since the 80's. I love to see it again and adore all of the touches of red in the rooms above!

  18. dahhling, who can go wrong with paisleys?

  19. Paisley is something I've really been drawn to lately too. I just keep asking myself why I have to fall in love with the ones that are hand-printed and cost a bazillion! Hmmm...

  21. Great photos Julie and Dani!

    All those rooms are so beautiful and I think very timeless. Throw in Dan Marty and Barclay Buttera who both do this look beautifully too and I think you've got the group covered.

    I'm saving all of your photos!!!!!

  26. So colorful so mind-blowing stuffs you disclosed here for the readers and home decor hunters. The sofa, cushions, dining table, loving bedding, rugs, oh, what not in the bright pages and those are really flashing with their own color variant and beauties. Love your paisley ikat and Asian decor themes. Here I also inspired to add few glaring bedding elements for the home folks like 100% cotton duvet covers and cotton fitted sheets which are indeed able to make an appeal while visiting the pushplinen.
