So old yet so new. Kilim prints date back to ancient times where they were produced as prayer rugs. A Kilim rug is a tightly interweaving warp and weft that produces a flat surface. The motifs differ based on their origin as do the colors (ahem…thank you Wikipedia!). All that aside they have become one of my new favorites (ok, add that to hair on hide, the color peach and mauve, antlers and animal print…oh and light pink and citron…and trouser pants). A while back I was asked to define my design style. After a lot of thought I came up with my philosophy which is that we have such an intimate relationship with our spaces that they should reflect all of who we are and all aspects of our personalities. I gravitate towards 40% timeless and classic, 30% eclectic and found, 20% modern and 10% glam all layered togther to make up 100% you.
Kilim prints create this super sweet bridge between timeless, eclectic, and this new funky twist on modern…the mix. I am digging it and hope you are too!
