Design Ideas for Decorating with Banana Leaf Wallpaper

February 18, 2022

Which pillows from our new Pillow Collection should you use with our Banana Leaf Wallpaper?

Today we are talking all about the “Mixology of Prints”.

Ever struggle with what colors to mix with large-print wallpaper designs? Don’t.

Here, I’m showing you what’s the perfect match for this large-scale banana leaf “Paradisio “ wallpaper pattern.

I put a black pillow to match it. Why? Because the banana leaf design has got a black background and I wanted to carry the black into the room’s décor. Easy, right? This time around though, it’s got a more modern vibe.

Classic large leaf banana print wallpaper blended with a simple black and white line designed pillow. Bold but balanced. To add more drama and play off the black white decorating scheme, add a contrasting smaller lumbar pillow. Opposites attract, right?

Well, it also works in decorating when you have the right patterns in a space. One pattern should be the master print. In this design scheme, the master print is the large banana leaf wallpaper. Then we go down in scale from there using the pillows so the room is visually balanced. Using opposing black and white pillows helps create a contemporary ambiance to a classic décor. This is a great way to layer your look in your interior thru using different scales of pattern and color.

Another design option for Banana Leaf is our Indigo colorway, with our Navy white lined pillow. Contact me for details on where to purchase our new designer pillows. Wallpaper is from the Charleston Home Collection

There you go! You now have the perfect look to create a bold stylish interior.

Creating a Décor with Spot Wallpapers

How do you freshen up your walls? Enter spot wallpapers!

This week I am sharing how you can mix patterns and colors with our Painter’s Palette wallpaper from the Anthology Collection. Check out this video for a fun mix idea!

Whether you’re fond of spot design wallpapers or not, the idea of mixing it with splatter designs would be worth the view. In this video, I’m showing you exactly how to achieve that! See how the hints of silver spots accentuate the blue and green paint brushstrokes, transforming the view into modern-contemporary creativity.

The result is an inviting feel of a bright-filled room that gives off that cheery vibe you – and your guests – would want to spend hours lounging in.

To add the accent, you could put this Moderno Blue lumbar pillow on your bed, against navy, sage, blue or white sheets or pillowcases creating an accent for any bedroom. This look is also great for coastal home decor. Have a beach house or cottage? It’s refreshing abstract design with blues and greens draws in the hues of blue skies and water! Guest rooms sparkle with these types of wallpapers and pillows.

Greek Key Pattern- Design Tips

September 3, 2021

Design Tip Tuesday and is all about the classic Greek Key design.

Many of the patterns we use today have ancient origins! This pattern is a classic decorative element that dates back to ancient Greece. It is basically a square linking design that came from columns from Greek Architecture.

We love the Greek key pattern to decorate with as it’s simple, bold and creates a modern geometric ambiance to a room. You can mix various colors with these simple prints or focus your décor on the one color of the Greek key pattern.

This indigo blue and white looks great in a powder room, bathroom as well as a kitchen or den.

The nice thing about the Greek key design is that it never goes out of style because it is so classic and simple. Add a stripe, floral or a novelty print in a fabric to coordinate with the Greek key wallpaper and it becomes the perfect accent to your interior.

The black and white version and the navy colorway look great with subway tile. Sometimes we call this pattern a Fret design because of its simple repeat. Always stunning and an easy pattern to blend with modern, traditional or mid century style furniture.

This wallpaper is from Woodlands Resource Collection and the pattern is called Fretwork. If you want to learn more, comment below or email at hello@daisybennettdesigns.com.
