Are You Ready for Paisley? Yay or Nay?
Written by faith | 0Recently Seattle Metropolitan interviewed me for the October issue. The questions were about using patterns in decorating; tips, getting started, trends and so on. I will share more when the interview is available. In my interior designs in Seattle, I like to use sophisticated patterns on sofas, chairs, ottomans and benches so this was an opportunity to share my insights. Thank you Seattle Metropolitan!
Paisley is always a stalwart, in menswear (think ties). Many of the fashionistas can be seen in dresses bearing the paisley pattern.

From Wikipedia, Paisley or Paisley pattern is a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Indian and Persian origin. The pattern is sometimes called “Persian pickles” by American traditionalists, especially quilt-makers, or “Welsh pears” in Welsh textiles as far back as 1888. Azerbaijan’s bright uniform and colorful paisley pants was one of the highlights of the 2010 Olympic games.
For myself I love paisley used as wallcovering… and below is a wonderful installation by Thibaut. It is just so sophisticated.
