CREATING STYLE WITH FLORAL PATTERNS

Pasque flower, Anemone pulsatilla

Sometimes, I photograph a plant in nature that has an outstanding texture, that might facilitate a use for interior design. I found this fluffy Pasque flower, going to seed, and loved the texture so much, that I put the photograph through changes and tried a cut-out artistic technique, to see if any might make a fabric design for a chaise on my patio. Here is my Warhol-esque board to view.

Jacqes Grange uses a Peter Dunham fig leaf patterned fabric to style a Palm Beach home in the May 2018 Architectural Digest.

I like the use of a stylized fig leaf pattern with the "cut-out," Matisse effect used for the fabric in the rattan chairs. The fabric has been prominent on two magazine covers in the last year.
