Home Décor Trend: Updated Highland Plaids for Interior Design Hounds & Scottish Dogs

 

Have you noticed that purple reigns?

 

Purple, orchid, grape, amethyst…

Call it what you will, but the color palette is still reigning this season.

 

Remember Ralph Lauren’s Brookfield collection?  (If you missed it, you’ll find it here.)

 

Now Zoffany has given the color a Scottish accent in their new fabric collection: Tinto Woods…

The color palate for the collection is sophisticated and as moody as the Scottish moors.

Woven in the lowlands of Lanarkshire, Scotland near Tinto; the traditional plaids, damasks and knits have been given an update in both color and scale.

  

 

Look who found the Tino wingback chair comfy:

While the wingback chair is upholstered in Tino, a large-scaled damask, the Scottie Dog is upholstered in Garrick, an updated plaid.

  

 

There’s plenty to love about the Scottish style from Zoffany…

As an Interior Design Hound, I love the Dogs showing off the fabric collection!

 

Everyone finds comfort with a Dog at their side and if you look close, you’ll spot more winning details from Zoffany.

Rosettes. 

 

Rosette pillows & ribbons embellish the winning collection.

 

And what’s not to like about the color amethyst?

The color trend has also found its way into the Dog park.

along with about a gazillion other things!

Interior Design Hound’s Style File: Nailhead Trim

 

Nailhead trim is the punctuation of upholstery.

The decorative studs can add an exclamation point to an otherwise simple design.

 

Nailheads can turn any slab door into a fab door with a little imagination.  (And a few thousand nailheads!)

 

London’s master of upholstery, Aiveen Daly, elevated the lowly slab door to fine art with with her use of nailheads…

Aiveen’s chairback is also a beauty!

 

Nailheads can open the door to endless design possibilities allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture.

 

You can simply emphasize the outline of a chair frame…

…or combine dressmaker details with nailhead trim to create maximum design impact.

The beauty of nailhead trim is its versatility.   

 

With sizes ranging from thumb tack to gumball, there is a scale suitable for every design. (Dorothy Draper always used #9 nailheads on her upholstery.)

  

Finishes run the gambit from chrome to antique brass.

Even though the studs have been embellishing upholstery (and  Dog collars & Dog beds) for centuries; the classic trim can still be thoroughly modern.

I find nailhead trim absolutely riveting on everything from home décor to Dog Beds. 

 

Even Fashion Hounds love them!

Barry Dixon certainly has a knack for tacks. 

 

You’ll spot incredible nailhead trim sprinkled throughout the Interior Designer’s work.   

 

The Barry Dixion Furniture Collection by Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth features nailhead stunners like the Albemarle sidechair and Raj Ottman:

Are you familiar with Erin Gates? She’s a refreshingly straightforward & talented Interior Designer located in Boston. 

  

Her “peeps,” as she call them, are two precious Pups named Baxter & Ollie who make frequent appearances on Erin’s blog: Elements of Style. (Check it out here - it’s one of my regular reads.) 

  

Erin is not only an Interior Design Hound, she’s a card-carrying Fashion Hound as well…

Recently, Erin wrote a post on luxurious & antique Dog beds…you can check it out here. 

 

Erin had just run across this studded Dog Bed in the Hamptons at Lennegan & Marantz:

Upholstered and accented with nailhead trim; the fabulous contemporary Dog bed comes with an equally fabulous price tag: $900.

I’m thinking the Dog Bed would make a good DIY project.  What do you think?
