Should you’ve been following my studio venture, that I actually wished so as to add the floral mural that I created for the lengthy entrance wall of the studio to the partitions of the again entry additionally. I even did a mock up of it, and began getting actually excited concerning the concept.
However then I used to be confronted with the fact of cash and price range and all of these not-so-fun issues to consider. Wallpapering the again entry would have value over a thousand {dollars}, and whereas I’m open to some splurges right here and there, that one wasn’t excessive on my precedence listing. So I made a decision as a substitute to color the partitions a strong coloration and add plenty of colourful art work to the partitions.
I haven’t modified my thoughts. That’s nonetheless the plan. However I simply couldn’t let go of the concept of bringing that floral into that a part of the room in some artistic means. A few of you had recommended framing sections of the mural wallpaper and utilizing it as artwork on the partitions, whereas others had recommended utilizing it simply on the ceiling.
I didn’t actually need to do both a type of issues, so whereas I used to be importing and ordering my giant design for the mural wallpaper, I additionally determined to add a smaller model of the design and see what it might appear to be on cloth. For some time now, I’ve been contemplating utilizing that floral design on their velvet cloth to reupholster my desk chair. (This is the reason I exploit a lot velvet for upholstery.) I really like how the material seems to be, and I used to be fairly set on the concept of utilizing it for the chair.
I’ve actually solely ever used Spoonflower to add issues that I need to strive for my very own home, and I’ve at all times completed so with a really particular venture in thoughts. So whereas I knew they supplied quite a lot of totally different merchandise past simply wallpaper and cloth, I’ve by no means actually paid a lot consideration to these different merchandise, a lot much less thought of buying any of them.
However this time, I made a decision to poke round a bit of and see what they’d, and see how my floral design seemed on the assorted merchandise. It seems that they provide quite a lot of totally different merchandise–all the pieces from cloth and wallpaper to cocktail napkins, throws, bedding, pillows, and curtains.
Tea towels! I could get a number of of these for my kitchen. What a enjoyable, vibrant sample to have on tea towels!
As I used to be wanting round at all the pieces they provide, I noticed these curtains, and thought, “That’s it!” I should buy the material and use that to make curtains for the again door! They do provide ready-made curtains, and the worth isn’t unhealthy. However I don’t like rod pocket headers, and there’s no choice to have them lined. However at the very least I may see what the material seems to be like made into curtains!
So as a substitute of shopping for their ready-made curtains, I purchased six yards of cloth in order that I may make my very own lined pinch-pleated curtains. And whereas it received’t precisely give me that very same look that having the daring mural on the partitions would have, this can nonetheless give me plenty of the identical daring coloration and sample at a fraction of the price. I’m fairly enthusiastic about this concept! Right here’s a bit of mock up of what the curtains will appear to be…
I do nonetheless plan to color the partitions. That inexperienced simply doesn’t do something for me anymore. However I don’t love the concept of portray the partitions a impartial coloration, both. I just like the boldness of the inexperienced, however I simply don’t like that individual inexperienced. I don’t assume it might look good with the cupboard coloration, which I’m about 95% positive would be the Tuberose coloration on the left within the image beneath.
Possibly I can pull one of many darker blues or purples out of the material and use that on the partitions. I feel a darker blue or purple would look nice with the cupboard coloration. And I’ve already used related colours collectively within the adjoining room (the sitting room) with the buffet coloration and the curtain coloration, so I do know I like them collectively.
So, we’ll see! I ought to get the material tomorrow, after which I can decide up some paint samples and begin narrowing down the chances.
