Prints for Summer

I love prints. The bolder the better. If done right, you can make a big impact for a little bit of money.

Prints to be on the look out this summer:

Stripes - Simple and clean (black and white wide stripes are perfect)
Geometrics- Greek inspired frets are always stunning
Chevrons - an updated zig zag look to the simple stripe pattern
Ikats (Ikkat) - A tie-dyed like print achieved by a type of weaving (check it out here)

Take a look at these bedrooms from Spanish powerhouse ZARA home

Modern Safari - Neutral contrasting prints make a dramatic statement in this room

Chevron prints can even be incorporated with romantic prints to give it that modern feel

A Perfect touch with the Ikat like throw in a neutral palette. Perfect compliment to the bold walls

I love the look of the Ikat-Chevron printed rug mixed with the bold stripes and modern ethnic touches.

A high glamorous ethnic inspired room achieved by bold prints and an even bolder color
