Deco delight

These delightful Deco designs are all available in my Spoonflower shop and are great for decorating the home, whether it's using ready-made items or buying fabric by-the-metre and making your own creations.

This peacock print is lovely and rich in colour and looks great on a cushion cover. It comes in many different fabrics but I especially love the velvet option.

These Art Deco triangles come in a teal colour palette in various tones.

It looks great on these cocktail napkins and could be paired with a classic cocktail.

This teal deco stripe has touches of soft pink and mustard yellow.

It looks great on placemats which come in cotton canvas fabrics or cotton sateen.

Stylised peacocks created this pretty scallop design in shades of teal.

It looks great on this sheet set which comes in five different sizes and includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillow cases.

I'm loving this detailed deco floral design that includes stylised flowers and foliage in a teal colour palette.

It looks great on a duvet cover which comes in five sizes and makes a great statement in the bedroom.

For a more subtle approach, this tonal Art Deco scroll design works well.

It looks very pretty on dinner napkins that come on cotton canvas or cotton sateen fabric.

 

Surf's up

 This surfboard print is one of the most popular prints in my Spoonflower shop. It includes a selection of bold-patterned surfboards, sea creatures, palm trees, and beach items in a fun, bright colour palette.

This print is often bought on fabric by-the-yard, but it also comes on a wide variety of ready-made items for the home. I love this duvet cover which would make a great addition to a kid's bedroom.

It's made from a 100% cotton sateen fabric and has a zipper closure and interior corner ties to hold the duvet in place.

Tropical toile

I designed this print for my Spoonflower shop a while ago and it includes zebras, leopards and tropical foliage in a sketched botanical style. The original colour was designed in green but I could resist trying some other colour palettes and am loving the results! The hot pink is probably my favourite.

It looks fabulous on this cotton sateen sheet set, which comes with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillow cases.

The yellow ochre colour palette was a bit of a gamble but I'm liking the outcome. It's a bit more subtle than the pink version and easier to use in the home.

It looks great on this table runner which comes in three different lengths.

The green version was the original version and it's lovely and fresh.

It looks great on napkins and brings an element of fun sophistication to the dining table.

The orange version was a bit of fun and adds a zing of colour to the home.

Keep it as an accent colour and use it on cushion covers like this one.

The turquoise blue colour is so pretty and fresh and feels very summery. It would work well for a garden party and comes in a variety of tableware options.

I love these placemats that come in a choice of fabrics.

Fabulous floral

 I originally designed this floral in a simple colour palette of blue and white, but I thought it would be interesting to try it in a bright colour palette and I'm really happy with the results! I chose a hot pink and bright orange and added yellow and turquoise. The cream background brings out the colours beautifully. This design was inspired by block printed florals that give it s stylised feel.

This floral print looks great as a cushion cover. It's a great way of adding colour to the home and can be mixed with other cushions in solid colours such as orange or hot pink to add variety to a living space.

This floral print can be bought by-the-metre and made into anything you want. There is a wide selection of fabrics on offer, but I especially love the linen cotton canvas.

The floral print is great for using in the home on tableware such as this table runner. It comes in three different lengths and would be great for decorating a table at a garden party.

Another way of adding colour to the living space is with throw blankets, such as this one. It comes in a velvet fabric but can also be bought in a minky fabric.

Sheet sets are a great way of adding colour to the bedroom and these are fabulous! They are made from a cotton sateen fabric and come with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillow covers.

Palm Springs

 A while ago I designed a print for one of the Spoonflower design challenges. The prompt for the challenge was 'Palm Springs' and I designed a 1950s/Mid Century modern print in shades of coral pink and turquoise. Since then, I have cerated a more simple version of the print where I have kept the main images and spaced them out.

The print includes a fabulous 1950s-inspired turquoise car as a well as a modern house, surrounded by cacti and palm trees. The coral pink bakckground gives it a fun, fresh vibe.

This would make a great print as a wallpaper. It comes in many different finishes and has easy-to-use options such as pre-pasted or peel-and-stick. The vinyl wallpaper is great for using in high traffic areas such as the kitchen or hallway.

This print would make great bedding and is a way of adding a splsh of colour to the bedroom. I love the Palm Springs duvet cover made from a cotton sateen fabric. Match it with a soft coral pink paint colour on the walls.

There is also a Palm Springs sheet set available that comes in a variety of sizes and includes a fitted sheet, a loose sheet and two pillow cases.

Another way of adding colour to the home is with this Palm Springs cushion cover. It comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and a cushion pad can be added if needed.

Honeysuckle

 Honeysuckles are arching shrubs or twining vines with tubular flowers that typically have a sweet-smelling fragrance and come in two colours or shades. They represent happiness, romantic love, good fortune and sweetness towards one another.

I recently created this honeysuckle design for my Spoonflower shop. I chose to use pinks and yellows for the flowers and added a soft cream background with a mini leaf motif. This print looks great on tableware, from napkins and placemats to tablecloths and table runners. It's the perfect print for a summer feast.

The honeysuckle napkins come in a variety of fabric choices.

The honeysuckle placemats come as a set of two and are available in three different fabric types.

The honeysuckle tablecloths come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from square and rectangle to round and oval.

The honeysuckle table runner is a lovely way of adding a splash of colour down the centre of the dining table. It's made from a cotton sateen fabric.

Citrus

I've recreated my citrus print in a variety of colour palettes which are great for all kinds of summer activities. Whether it's used on homewares to enhance your home, or for sewing projects to inspire your summer wardrobe there are a lots of options in Spoonflower shop. 

This yellow and white version is a lovely fresh print and would work well in sewing projects. There are many fabric choices and I especially love the soft cotton lawn option which would be great for making summer skirts or dresses with.

This citrus print below offers a darker colour option with orange and yellow citrus fruits on a pleasing teal background. This print can also be bought on a variety of fabric options. I love the linen cotton canvas which is great for making into bright tea towels.

If you don't fancy making your own items, there are plenty  of ready-made items in my Spoonflower shop. This print would look great in the home, especially in the bedroom. I'm loving the duvet cover and sheet set as well as the curtains and cushion cover.

This is the original version of the citrus print, but I've added a few more tones to mix it up a bit. It has a lovely warm feel to it and would look great on tableware for the home.

Ready-made items include tablecloths (in rectangular or oval sizes), as well as table runners and napkins.

Sweet cherries

 This cherry print is the perfect print for a summer sewing project with its bright red, juicy cherries on a fresh green background. You can just imagine picking one up and popping it into your mouth.

You can buy this cherry print in my Spoonflower shop on a wide variety of fabric choices, from lighter weights such as gauze and chiffon, to heavier weight fabric such as canvas or velvet.

This cherry print would look great on a summer skirt. Spoonflower has a choice of fabrics that would be perfect for this sewing pattern, including cotton lawn or cotton sateen.

I'm looking forward to making this print into bags and purse for my Etsy shop. Watch this space!
