Lately I've been seeing a number of sophisticated rooms that incorporate quilts, and I thought I'd share some inspiration with ideas on how to keep quilts feeling modern.
Minimalist
The elements: low bed, industrial wall lights, spare furnishings, Scandinavian lines

Look at that last one again. Fabulous, no? That's the one that started this whole thing.
So what about you. If you were building around a quilt, would you gravitate to one of these styles? Or would you go for the more typical country or shabby chic scheme?
I'll build boards for two of these looks tomorrow, so come on back!
i love that kid's room with the elephant print. i may need to consult you for our soon to be remodeled boys' room.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I've always loved quilts. I have a handful of antique ones passed down to me from my parents, who used to collect them. They're all in a cupboard right now, but I need to revisit them. Maybe throw over the back of the living room couch (which I'd like to eventually replace). Garnet Hill often has beautiful new quilts.
ReplyDeleteThe HB one reminds me of a Hawaiian quilt, which I have always wanted. I was thinking I might get one for my daughter's room when she moves into a twin.
ReplyDeleteLove the top pic too.
