For a designer inspiration is one of the most important parts of the process. It’s important to keep your eyes open, especially in familiar surroundings. One of our designers traveled to England for the holidays and found wonderful inspiration in local shops in her home town. If you know Selina’s work, you can see how these images inspire her.

At Design Works International we love creating Trends Boards that inspire our work in the studio…Vibrations is all about bright, fun colors mixed with substrates like wood and lucite. Our print focus is large scale geometric patterns in one or two colors that can be mixed and matched together creating a bold, yet clean, print and pattern story.TBT11-18

Repetitive tiles are in at Design Works International. We are inspired by soft color textured tiles… a trend that we have been following from ceramic bath and kitchen tiles. Now these beautiful patterns are seen in soft home products to compliment the hard good home sensibility.

Burnt Oranges are trending for 2015, but they’re a bit more subdued and just a dash of yellows welcomed into the mix.

Here are 3 examples focusing on simple shapes, updated color and bold lines. CLICK IMAGES TO SEE MORE

Consider a pattern scale change when mixing prints.
This repeated geometric patterned rug is great as a focal point in the room, paired with a simple textured sofa allows you to add dec pillows with similar colors from the rug.
Black and White graphics, no matter how bold always allow you to add pops of color in any space.

Printing mixing is a great way to add stylish updates to any space, some simple considerations like color and scale of a pattern are important elements to consider. All photos were taken at Maison Objet and in Paris shops. Enjoy! CLICK IMAGES TO SEE MORE

 

Look closely..we ONLY have 2 prints and two textures in this room setting, its the different materials and colors that make this “patterned experience” work!
BOLD, graphic patterns using classic black and white with an updated mix of neutral tones on various substrates makes this print ensemble palatable.
Updated pastels mixed with neutrals on light colored grounds make this print mix fresh and fun.
