Botanical Inspired Textiles
-Our Picks-
Floral and botanical prints have long been one of the most widely used motifs in textiles and interior design. It’s true, botanicals will forever have a place in the home, and what better a way to celebrate that love than with a round up of some of our favorite patterns?
We’re so excited to introduce a new expert design voice on the blog today; Saana Baker, founder of ‘The Textile Eye’ for some insight into the industry and what’s trending in botanical inspired collections.
Mirto
Marta Giardini for Mohebban Milano
“Not only is this Marta Giardini design absolutely gorgeous, it’s also reminiscent of old world etching with its illustrated look.” Saana Baker
The ‘Mirto Rug’ by Marta Giardini for Mohebban Milano feels both classic and modern. The neutral-tone design can be perfect for adding pattern and depth to a space without overwhelming with color. The pattern looks painstakingly hand-drawn by the artist which brings a unique character and quality sure to elevate any space.
Tropical
Zimmer & Rohde
‘Tropical’ by ZIMMER & ROHDE celebrates the rich and lavish vegetation found in the tropics. Decorative leaf and flower shapes intertwine and grow organically. The colors are a flashback of the retro palettes of the past, which we’re seeing everywhere right now, recreated and reformulated for today’s home.
Valparaise
René Gruau for Fede Cheti
”We’re seeing designs in many spring 2020 collections that are reminiscent of the Bloombury group: painterly, pretty and free.” Saana Baker
We’re loving the single line brushstrokes and sinuous movements that define this pattern. Born from designs created by renowned fashion illustrator and poster artist René Gruau for the Fede Cheti brand, the Valparaise rug represents a modern, floral motif, inspired by traditional Japanese prints.
Martinique Encore
CW Stockwell
“Palm prints have been circulating textile trends for years now and people still love and want to see them.” Saana Baker.
Printed by hand in Los Angeles, ‘Martinique Encore’ by CW Stockwell brings a fresh and modern take on the iconic banana palm print.
Persecution
Marcos Navarro for FEATHR
Jungle animals and arrows are the perfect contrast to sweet and soft botanicals, wouldn’t you agree? ‘Persecution’ by textile designer Marcos Navarro is a complex pattern influenced by wild nature and traditional Vasconian art. We’d love to see this playful wallpaper in a powder room or kid’s bedroom.
Nid d'oiseau
Elitis
If you have a taste for retro styles and Fauvism art, you’ll love this ‘Nid d'oiseau’ pattern from Elitis. The ‘Flower Power’ collection is made of powerful multi-colored palettes with artful floral and leafy motifs. Available in a variety of color combinations, all equally fetching, we’re feeling the terracotta colorway pictured here.
Jardin d'osier
Pierre Marie for Dedar/Hermès Paris
Committing to a bold wallpaper can feel a little intimidating at first, but if you truly love the pattern, it instantly makes a room feel unique and special. Inspired by an Indian garden with its flowers, shrubs and fountains, this new design by Pierre Marie for Hermès Paris illustrates a rich landscape of plants and flowers. This pattern makes a big statement which is why it’s quickly becoming a favorite.
La folie du jour
Pierre Frey
There’s no match to the profoundly imaginative house of Pierre Frey. ‘La folie du jour’ is a refined embroidery with an eclectic pattern mix of florals, polka dots, pinstripes, and vined leafs. The dynamic composition makes this fabric perfect for pairing with other patterns.
