Red rose is one of the oldest symbols of love. However, for Valentine’s Day decoration, we can use any shade between pale pink and burgundy, matching the colors of the interior.

Stripes
Regular, vertical stripes always create an elegant effect, which is why it looks good even when used in extreme quantities
Tone-on-tone
If patterns are needed but don’t want them too dominant, tone-on-tone is the solution
Thicking
Ticking is a cotton or linen textile that is tightly woven (sometimes with a twill weave) for durability and to prevent down feathers from poking through the fabric, and used to cover mattresses and bed pillows. It commonly has a striped design, in muted colors (grey, blue, brown, occasionally red or yellow) against a plain, neutral background. It is no longer restricted to a utility fabric and has found uses in interior decorating. It is often used e.g. for furniture upholstery, cushion covers, curtains or tablecloths.

Trellis pattern
Trellis patterns are perfect classic decorating elements, both on fabrics and wallpapers. Their scale is middle or big. The pattern itself can be made using only straight lines or only curved lines but also the combinations of these. It can be applied in any room of the house; the effect is guaranteed.
It is a quite daring pattern, which can be moderated by choosing a tone-on-tone or pastel variations. However, true bold colors give a special character to the room. Who is really daring, can put the wallpaper also on the ceiling.
This pattern brings the nature inside, but in a less direct way. The trellis was used by gardeners for supporting creepers, making arbors and as eye catching element also. It could be made of wood, metal and bamboo. It looked good both in natural color and painted (firstly white, green and black).
The pattern can be combined well with animal and floral motifs, toile pattern or even another trellis pattern. Harmony of colors should be well considered. The best is if the pairing patterns are from the same collection. Using the same wallpaper and fabric in one room is a very traditional and elegant solution.
Trellis pattern is perfect for example for colonial style, chinoiserie and moroccan style. The variation when the trellis pattern is formed by a small leafed, flowered bines fits well to country styles. Metallic types are good for glamour style. In a proper color, it can be a perfect accessory to seaside style also.
Ask for help of an interior designer for proper usage of such daring patterns.
Pineapple
27th of June is Pineapple Day. In old times it was a rarity in Europe, so it was very expensive. The rich – showing their wealth – hired the fruit from horticultures for table centerpiece of more significant receptions, which overwhelmed their guests. The untouched fruit was sent back to the horticulture after the reception.
