Achieving The Look
My main advice would be to pick designs that you love. If you have pieces you have purchased on your travels tucked away get them out and give them opportunity to be centre stage!

This trend is about pulling together your favourite designs from all around the world. From Indian crewel work to Turkish velvet, delicate paisleys to rugged aztec weaves. Fusing textiles from a variety of cultures is the key to this look. The final result should be a celebration of the talented crafters and textile producers from across the globe. Muted earthy tones work well as base colours to the look which can then be built upon adding pops of colour in jewel shades. Once you have chosen your colour scheme don't forget to include a mixture of pattern and texture by the bucket load!
