I love cool patterns and textiles. Right now I’m obsessed with shibori, a Japanese technique that’s similar to tie-dye (the pattern is made by binding, stitching, folding, twisting and compressing cloth). Some are even calling it the new ikat! It’s the perfect combination of modern art and traditional craft. From pillows to bedding to table linens, shibori accessories add an artisan touch to any home. Check out my favs — and let me know what you think!
The range of shibori prints is best seen on decorative pillows. I love how the same technique results in so many different patterns (the options are endless):
Shibori Shams from West Elm, $20 on sale
Shibori 6 from Folk Fibers, $125
Shibori Full Pillow at ABC Carpet & Home, $64
Grid Shibori Navy from Rebecca Atwood, $200
