Yellow & gray room inspiration

Magazines and blogs have been flooded with trendy images of rooms awash in lovely yellows and peaceful grays. I love the color palette and think yellow is such an interesting contrast to the new mainstay of neutral decorating, the color gray.

This room from HGTV includes curtains in one of my favorite fabrics from designer Thomas Paul. The fabric pattern is Dahlia Dove, and you can now find it online at Fabric.com.

And I am in lust with this yellow lamp and chair. What a way to brighten up a corner.

The color combo even works well in more traditional interiors.

Here's our fun twist on a yellow and gray room that includes the IKEA Karlstad series and one of our Knesting.com sunshine chevron slipcovers. How can a room this cheery not make you smile???

The Chevrons are here!

Four fabulous chevron fabric options are now available on Knesting.com! Because of the width of the fabric, we are only offering these fun fabrics on our chair and footstool slipcovers. The fabric is just too narrow to work for wider pieces like sofas. Coordinating pillows will be added to the site in a few weeks.

Chevron Love!

So I've definitely been in a chevron lovin' mood lately. I honestly thought my interest might wane but as months have passed, I have to say my fondness of the crazy zig zag pattern has only grown. And now as a result I've decided to offer our Knesting slipcovers in a few fun colors of the chevron print. You will soon be able to purchase slipcovers for your IKEA furniture in the the following fabrics...candy pink, sunshine yellow, dark chocolate, and ash gray

  

   

Here's a picture of a the first chevron slipcover we've just completed. Since we are still working out the details of which models we'll be covering the chevron fabrics in, I've gone ahead and listed this yellow slipcover for the Henriksdal bar stool on our Etsy shop - http://www.etsy.com/listing/80307460/chevron-slipcover-for-ikea-henriksdal.

And for a little inspiration, here are a few other designs featuring the chevron pattern.
