Hi Everyone!
So I ran across a couple of images on Pinterest the other day and they’ve got me thinking about tie dye and indigo…
The later picture I actually saw months ago in a summer issue of House Beautiful. I remember when I read the article I was immediately drawn to those gorgeous vivid blue tie dye chairs. They are so striking and playful, yet they look chic and sophisticated in this space. The whole house is gorgeous actually. The white walls throughout totally fade away against the wonderful color in each room.
Seeing these spaces has me thinking of bringing some tie dye into the bungalow. I recently won a Instagram contest with Rugs Direct and I have some store credit so I went browsing for some options there. Im loving these
Our living room has been the backdrop of a bit of rug roulette since we moved in, and while I’ve liked the ones I’ve introduced to the space already, neither has worked for us for various reasons. I’ve been on the hunt for something more fitting and my initial plan was for a vintage kilim. Then I snapped back to reality and realized that’s not even gonna happen in my house. Not while Callie is still in full on puppy mode. So I moved on to plan B: something kinda fun. I think I like the more ombre effect style better for our space and I’m immediately drawn to the yellow. I think it could look great with the moody teal walls. I do, however, love the indigo rug as well. If we had neutral walls Id be all over it. I mean, any one of these could be amazing in a kids room, or home office, or dining room, or really any space in need of a pop of color and a bit of whimsy. And although my house is definitely not in need of pops of color, I just love the idea of adding in another visual and textural layer. We are saving up for a couple really classic pieces (a chesterfield and spindle chair) and I think something like this will be a great juxtaposition paired with them.
What do you guys think? Are you liking tie dye in interiors? Until next time…
