PATTERNS

Lately my eye has been drawn to rooms busting at the seams with patterns -- patterns on the wall, ceiling, curtains, everywhere. I am saying pattern instead of wallpaper because these beautiful designs can be translated into a room in more ways than just wallpaper. And I have been gravitating more towards these ikat inspired abstract patterns that blend together as a whole. 


I discovered this gorgeous ikat stencil through etsy and have been brainstorming on how I can incorporate it at Melrose. I finally settled on an idea, but I am not telling ... just yet! Check out these rooms covered head to toe with beautiful, intricate patterns. And - one of these images is the inspiration for the next DIY project!  Hopefully these rooms will get your brain turning and inspire you too.

I am a neutral fan but this blue and orange combo is awesome. I think there is just enough white in this room to keep it simple and not too bold.

 wow - what a statement! I salute whoever braved this idea and just went for it!

 The black and white helps keep this wallpaper subtle without screaming fruit and nature.
