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!

Lilly Pulitzer: Top Dog of Palm Beach Style for Interior Design Hounds

The New York Times once called Lilly Pulitzer’s prints “dreadful.” 

 

Love ‘em or not, Lilly Pulitzer’s prints have morphed into a successful lifestyle brand that recently sold for a whopping $60,000,000.

 

Lilly’s colorful resort wear has a rabid following of fans from all walks of life ranging from socialites to sororities. Lilly lovers are tickled pink with each new season’s designs & patterns.

 

Even Dogs love Lilly Pulitzer…

Okay, so maybe the Lilly Pulitzer lover is the one at the other end of the leash. 

 

While Lilly Pulitzer’s line of Dog collars is no longer available, Dog owners have been known to create their own custom bandannas & Dog collars out of Lilly Pulitzer fabrics. 

 

Lilly Pulitzer has always been a Dog lover. She’s pictured in one of her iconic shift dresses below with her daughters & the family Dog in 1962.

When Jackie Kennedy was photographed wearing a Lilly Pulitzer dress, she created a sensation.  Fashion Hounds the world over had to own one of the bold patterned dresses.

 

Ironically, Lilly designed the fashion statements with busy patterns to hide stains.

Now Interior Design Hounds can create the Palm Beach style associated with Lilly Pulitzer with Lee Jofa’s new fabric line and furniture by Home Furnishings International.

 

When HFI debuted the Lilly Pulitzer collection in High Point last fall, one of my favorite pieces was the Rousseau Ottoman…

The ottoman’s tufted top is removable, revealing colorful storage with 16 pockets designed to hold shoes.  The center is open storage for additional shoes or handbags.

 

Measuring in at 36” diameter, the Lilly Pulitzer ottoman is a perfect size for a coffee table or additional seating in any room of the house.

 

My Scottie Dog has a better idea…fill it with Dog toys and the Lilly Pulitzer ottoman can become yet another Dog Bed for my rescued Pooch.

Every piece of furniture in HFI’s Lilly Pulitzer collection had plenty of style to spare and more importantly was functional. 

 

Interior Design Hounds were also excited this year when Lee Jofa introduced their Lilly Pulitzer fabric & trim.  You can view a short video about the collection here.

 

The fabric line has the perfect pedigree…

Pink & green, the preppy colors of choice, dominate the Lee Jofa collection.

 

While the Lilly Palm Beach look is fun for a beach house or girl’s room…in my opinion, a little of the pink & green can go a very long way

If you prefer cooler colors; tidewater blues are a welcome calm in the tropical storm of Lilly.

 

The collection includes many standout fabrics that can hold their own in any style of home décor.

The Lilly Pulitzer style certainly made a splash in Palm Beach in the 1960’s.

 

Just take a look at this pack of Lilly Fashion Hounds with their two Dogs…
