An established Irish Artist, Orla Kiely is famously crowned as the Queen of Prints. From fashion to interior design her iconic prints are recognised globally and highly desirable. She has a clear deep-rooted passion for pattern, colour and good design.

Colour is a beautiful thing and it is an amazing way to change the feel of a room, instantly uplifting the mood. Embracing glorious colour palettes in her art, Kiely is known to use yellow as it is said to capture the joy of sunshine and creates a happy environment. It is an excellent choice for kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms, where it is uplifting and energising. In halls, entries and small spaces, yellow can feel warm and welcoming.

Monochromatic design is super modern and with the 60’s inspired pattern of Kiely’s collection. The two styles marry together beautifully to create a groovy vibe any retro lover will adore! Include a brightly coloured sofa and armchairs to bring the whole room together.

We love to accessorise with light colours to balance out the bold statement pieces, such as a gorgeous white coffee table and light cushions. This is a fantastic way to break up the bold colour and patterns of the furniture.

Warm earthly colours are often associated with the Bohemian style, and the Spot Flower Rug is a perfect example of how a striking pattern can be a stunning statement piece in your home without the use of vivid colours.

As the opposite of modern, minimal, and sleek, Bohemian style embraces a “more is more” philosophy. Decorate with plants in gorgeous wicker plant pots to bring together the natural vibe together, real or faux.
