NEWS FROM THE STUDIO:

We are excited to share our new 2021 BLUE & WHITES.

Why blue and white?  Let me offer you a little historical perspective.

Hands down, year after year,  it’s our most popular collection.  We’ve had plenty of time to think about why this is.  And, according to the PANTONE COLOR INSTITUTE:

BLUE represents tranquility, refuge, clarity and resilience.

WHITE represents calm, in a frenetic society that is rediscovering quite reflection.

Yes, give me some of that!  Is that why so many of us want to paint our rooms white? 

According to global trend forecaster, PANTONE:

Spring/Summer 2021 NY Fashion Forecast includes PANTONE 18-4140, French Blue.

And last year, 2020: PANTONE® 19-4052 CLASSIC BLUE offered a reassuring presence instilling calm, confidence and connection.  They even called it “the first multi-sensory color of the year in the company’s history.”

Here it is in the line up for 2019 as snorkel blue

And in the lineup for 2018 and Turkish sea

And again in 2017 as Lapis Blue

I think you see where I am going with this..

BACK TO THE STUDIO…

  Our blues and whites have evolved over the years…

THE ENCHANTED HOME has long been a collaborator and lover of blue and white. We have co-curated some lovely collections together.

Design by THE ENCHANTED HOME with STUDIO TULLIA pillows and her lovely chinoiserie porcelain-ware. ENCHANTED HOME is indeed a great source for so many things blue and white. Everything from porcelain ware, planters, tableware, lighting, etc.

Love this The Beach House Collection by Seabrook Wallcoverings
(we are going to start offering solid linens with contrast welt soon…)

CUBISM, by Anna French, is another textile we will add to our pillow line for 2021.

Some of our customers’ favorites over the years have been this ribbon embellished pillow, available in white or ivory and medium or dark navy grosgrain ribbon.

AND, Schumacher’s Iconic Chiang Mai Dragon in China Blue .

How lovely is Chiang Mai Dragon here? Poolside in New York, design by THE ENCHANTED HOME, pillows by STUDIO TULLIA. This pattern is also available as an outdoor fabric.

Schumacher’s CITRUS GARDEN in POOL by JOSEF FRANK has also been hard to keep in stock.

Can you guess what my #1 seller was last year?
