Including My Floral Design To The Studio Again Entry (I Discovered A Manner!)

If you happen to’ve been following my studio undertaking, you realize that I actually needed 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 in regards to the thought.

However then I used to be confronted with the truth of cash and funds and all of these not-so-fun issues to consider. Wallpapering the again entry would have price 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 an alternative to color the partitions a strong colour and add a number 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 method. A few of you had instructed framing sections of the mural wallpaper and utilizing it as artwork on the partitions, whereas others had instructed utilizing it simply on the ceiling.

I didn’t actually need to do both a kind 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 would look like on fabric. For some time now, I’ve been contemplating utilizing that floral design on their velvet material to reupholster my desk chair. (For this reason I exploit a lot velvet for upholstery.) I like how the material seems, 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 all the time accomplished so with a really particular undertaking in thoughts. So whereas I knew they provided quite a lot of completely different merchandise past simply wallpaper and material, 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 somewhat and see what that they had, and see how my floral design seemed on the varied merchandise. It turns out that they offer a lot of different products–all the pieces from material and wallpaper to cocktail napkins, throws, bedding, pillows, and curtains.

Tea towels! I’ll get just a few of these for my kitchen. What a enjoyable, shiny sample to have on tea towels!

As I used to be trying 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 supply ready-made curtains, and the value isn’t unhealthy. However I don’t like rod pocket headers, and there’s no choice to have them lined. However a minimum of I might see what the fabric looks like made into curtains!

So as an alternative of shopping for their ready-made curtains, I purchased six yards of cloth in order that I might 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 may nonetheless give me a number of the identical daring colour and sample at a fraction of the price. I’m fairly enthusiastic about this concept! Right here’s somewhat mock up of what the curtains will seem like…

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 colour, both. I just like the boldness of the inexperienced, however I simply don’t like that exact inexperienced. I don’t suppose it could look good with the cupboard colour, which I’m about 95% certain would be the Tuberose colour on the left within the image under.

Perhaps 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 colour. And I’ve already used comparable colours collectively within the adjoining room (the sitting room) with the buffet colour and the curtain colour, 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 probabilities.
