Purple rugs, walls and tv apartments

Posted in fabrics, purple, rugs

 

I’m a little laid up at the moment with some sort of flu/bug so happened to be watching (after my last post I sound like a tv addict!) How I Met Your Mother in bed late last night. It was the episode starring Katie Holmes and in it her apartment was painted a nice shade of purple and teamed with green silky curtains. It put into mind all the purple in Jules Reid’s house (top two pics) featured in Matchbook magazine. I love the relaxed, casual white base of her home teamed with bold colour. Her Madeline Weinrib rugs are a fantastic starting point to her colour scheme! I’ve used both these rugs before and I have to say I never get sick of seeing them. I also love the soft purples of the office above, with its matching purple curtains and hints of dusky pinks and greens.

And on the topic of purple tv apartments, remember the most famous of them all? (clue: from Friends)

Love this pattern on pattern!

I am obsessing this week over this New York apartment belonging to Alixe Laughlin from fabric house Quadrille featured in the latest Matchbook magazine. Of course it’s packed full of gorgeous fabrics from Quadrille. I love her use of pattern layered on pattern and the colours: blue/black/white and orange. I also love the faux bamboo cabinet, the glossy modern white desk and the blue french side chests used in the living room -they all work so well with the fabrics. Love it!

Sara Tuttle’s cool and colourful apartment

I admire designer Sara Tuttle’s eclectic, fun and bold style. Her apartment is so colourful and gorgeous! I love the green lampshades in the living room, the dark blue kitchen walls and that pink greek-key trimmed bolster! Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend x
