Please make yourself at home and let us share our passion for home decor and decorative ideas. As you shop this site, you'll see exciting pattern and color in the form of unusual home decor accessories for decorating. Just like in a home, there's a lot going on here but somehow it all works together. For example, our decorative accessories coordinate in feel with the decorative fabrics we sell. Our fabric for upholstery includes ikat, suzani, animal prints and rooster fabrics. And, you'll find rugs and mats, decorative throw pillows, and party tableware in these designs as well. Even our beverage napkins and decorative towels come in ikat.
Another home decor passion you will find here is for British goods. We have many British muses. Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit dishes are an all time favorite. Beatrix Potter's adorable 3 piece dish set from Wedgwood has her delightful words and drawings all over it. Miss Potter was one of the first writers, designers and illustrators to create product like tableware that reflected her work. She understood marketing and commercial endeavors brilliantly. Yet she lived a very uncommercial lifestyle in her home in the
Lake District in England. She used the fruits of her work to help farmers and the National Trust preserve the Lake District. Beatrix Potter had many unique gifts in addition to her writing which has endured for so long.
Among our British goods, you'll find many home decor gifts including Union Jack flag items, Kate and William Royal Wedding items and perhaps the broadest selection of Keep Calm and Carry On items sold in the USA. You'll find our Keep Calm and Carry On poster framed and unframed being used as wall decor in magazines featuring the homes of some major stylesetters in the decorative home decor world. | | Looking for decorating ideas? You don't have to throw out your old sofa, couch or curtains and buy everything new when you start decorating a room. You can upholster or slipcover a sofa your grandmother gave you with some of our decorative fabrics for upholstery or just refresh it with some decorative throw pillows. Give your entrance hall or dining room a lift with decorative vases. Spruce up your kitchen decor with colorful cutting boards, and fun kitchen accessories like our Keep Calm and Carry On kitchen towels and aprons. |  | Even the greatest decorators understood that decorating does not have to be expensive. Take Billy Baldwin, the great American decorator(1903-1984). In one of his books, Billy Baldwin Decorates, he talks about how something as simple as color can transform a room. Here's his wonderful anecdote about rugs:
A client of mine recently wanted to change her off-white dining room to something more exciting, but she had just inherited some Chippendale chairs and was afraid they would force her to have a forever-pale conventional room. She was so desperate that she was actually ready to sell the antiques. I told her that was the worst idea I had ever heard. After we repainted the actual room, we added a multicolor rug. I touched nothing else. This is the power of color. It gives a new life to old surroundings, and is the best thing for a budget because no color costs more than another color. |  |
Now you've got the decorating secret. You don't need to spend a fortune to use colorful decorative accessories and decorative accents to make your home decor attractive. The contemporary decorator Albert Hadley, known for valuing subtlety over glitz,(even though he worked for Rockefellers, Whitneys and Gettys) put it wisely. He simply said, "I deeply believe that a beautiful decor can have a beneficial influence on our life.” |
Live beautifully and have fun.
