Trending on Remodelista: Patterns, Prints—and Color

Summer’s riot of color inspired the Remodelista editors to look beyond black and white. Here’s a taste of what they covered this week:

Above: As a child, Krista Nye Schwartz lived in India for a year. That started her on a life path paved in “intense color and texture and pattern” and a career as an interior designer. Margot pays a House Call and reports back with A Textiles Enthusiast at Home in Ann Arbor.

Above: A design duo reinvents classic games, including this set of bocce balls. Good Sport: Summer Games by Fredericks & Mae also unveils their colorful dartboard, dominos, and backgammon set.

Above: How great is this botanical alphabet wallpaper? Hand-drawn in ink and watercolors, it’s also available as a poster. Even better. See what else this Swedish company has come up with in Rebel Walls of Sweden: Wallpaper for Everyone.
