I have always been a fan of Mokum, and their fabrics are so hard wearing which is perfect for my rough and tumble boys. I was originally planning on using something neutral, and introducing colour by means of artwork, cushions, throws, etc. But I can't seem to get that shade of "green" out of my head; that is, the same green as the tiles that we're using in the bathrooms.
I like these fabrics by Mokum - "Hakea Plain" and "Mimosa" fabrics both in Seafoam. Mimosa is similar to the pattern on the decorative glass that is being used in the room next door.
I know it would appear that I'm swapping the existing colour scheme around (ie external - green to white, and internal - white to green) but the green colour will be relatively subtle in this room as a whole. The room, which will be painted white, will be lined with VJ walls and white built-in shelving. I was thinking of putting down a seagrass rug or similar over the polished timber floors.

Hi Caroline, just visited my blog after 2 weeks away from it,thankyou so much for the blog award, very thoughtful of you. P.s I love the decorative glass you are using, very chic.
ReplyDeleteI really like both the fabrics, but you know how much I love that colour green! Could you use both, one as the banquette seat cover and one as edging or scatter cushion fabric ? mel x
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll probably use both. I may even throw in the "Firewheel" fabric. Still have plenty of time before I have to choose the upholstery. xx
