Cozy Corduroy
/We all have designs that stay with us. Today I’m sharing one that I find simply too perfect. This is the Snug in Designer Rita Konig’s husband's farmhouse in County Durham, England.
Every single item in this space is well proportioned for comfort. I am a huge fan of Ms. Konig’s work and follow her on Instagram. I’ve seen her talk about finding the oversized decorative pillow that is on the chair next to the sofa and how she thought about cutting it down but in the end has left it large and then you really sink into it. I loved hearing a renown designer talk about this decision.
The jewel tones all play off each other brilliantly. I find myself thinking about what color corduroy to use on an old antique chair I have tucked in a corner of the basement. The 'Charlton' ginger corduroy is by Tissus d'Hélène and the tone is delightful.
This settee lives in the vestibule of the Beach Club Resort in Walt Disney World. I thought it so fun that in such a warm climate this pretty pale blue corduroy was being given a moment with equally delightful pink welting!
“Corduroy is a textile with a distinctively raised “cord” or wale texture. The fabric is made by weaving extra sets of fiber into the base fabric to form vertical ridges called wales. The wales are built so that clear lines can be seen when they are cut into pile.”
This is only one of the many rooms I love by this very talented creative. Click the images to see more of this home.
Til next time be well.
