GEOMETRIC GLAMOUR

There’s something about geometric patterns that set my heart a-racing. Maybe it’s my type A hyper organized brain but when I see patterns like Kubus from Pierre Frey (used below in the curtains) I simply swoon…

It may have something to do with the use of linen and gold too. Unfortunately, there’s nothing about Pierre that’s very affordable (although as a designer, I still get a pretty wonderful discount!). And when considering yards and yards of it for curtains in my bedroom, I just can’t seem to commit. So when I stumbled upon this image by Gilles Trillard, I had a moment of brilliance…

Calm down… I’m not going to go painting walls or anything crazy. But I did think… what if I could find a black and white geometric fabric that I could simply paint the gold onto? Because how stunning would these walls be if they just had a little metallic in them here and there? I think even keeping the placement of the gold slightly random would be beautiful.

Also, let’s back up a sec – those walls? Amazing. They remind me of a project I did in art class my junior year of college. I hated that assignment, but now I’m starting to appreciate my teacher for making me do it. Because this? This kind of art my organized brain could definitely handle. I got an A in that class. Geometry? Not so much.

    I love the Kubus pattern, too! It’s amazing. I love the idea of the random gold areas painted on another pattern…Good luck!

    I’m dying over that white couch and the pillows that look like they were made out of a discarded Rachel Zoe vest!
