I really like having artistic mates and can brag about them endlessly – particularly those that are braver than I’m design-wise. I might be so protected and care a lot about “timelessness” (particularly with everlasting finishes) so being mates with individuals who take dangers so naturally, with out second guessing is so enjoyable for me. So immediately I’m displaying you my pal Annie’s den/bonus room that has pink wall-to-wall carpet, a classic college popcorn maker, and the identical Spoonflower cloth sample on the couch, partitions, window shades, classic eating chairs, AND window seats. IT’S SO WILD. Annie is a designer who principally invests and sells homes however NOT in a standard manner – there may be nothing generic in her rooms. And he or she finally ends up promoting all of them to Gen Z YouTubers, influencers, or pop stars. That is her house in Toluca Lake that she shares together with her husband Derik DBone Reckle (a musician – take a look at his album right here!), 11-year-old daughter Violet, and three pups. In the course of the year-long transform she advised me that she was planning on sample drenching this complete room in the identical Spoonflower wallpaper and cloth sample and I all however begged to come back and shoot it even earlier than I had a partnership with Spoonflower. However be ready to see some dangers which may shock you – like that lamp! I’ve such emotions about that lamp! (and so does TikTok – however, let’s simply say the alternative emotions). Once we styled it we actually leaned into their type which could be very rock ‘n roll, completely funky, wild, and extremely artistic. I pulled from the remainder of her home, hung their guitars and artwork, and embraced all of the issues that make them THEM. Shade, classic, and on this case even some kitsch (can you notice the velvet work?)

The star of the room IMHO (apart from them) is that unbelievable classic spherical sectional that that they had reupholstered on this Spoonflower velvet cloth a couple of years in the past for his or her previous home – which impressed the entire pattern-drenching thought. I can solidly say that is the genius factor about Spoonflower – that you may get the identical sample for thus many various functions. There are firms that provide materials and wallcoverings, positive, however to not their stage. For this mission, Annie selected velvet cloth for the couch, linen for the shades, and pre-pasted wallpaper for the partitions (however in addition they have cotton, canvas, conventional paper, and detachable wallpaper). It’s so unbelievable to have the ability to present all these choices and why I wished to inform this story.
This room is a bonus room upstairs and after they have mates over with youngsters they ship all of them up right here to do their worst. They pulled the pink out of the sample and went wall-to-wall with the carpet (which we love for one of these room – so gentle). Annie loves classic and had been hoarding these lucite chairs for some time so she had her upholsterer redo the seats and backs in the identical velvet.
We hung the artwork and guitars and determined that the controversial lamp was price holding (Gen Z on TikTok love these lamps however I KNOW that that feeling is not going to be shared by everybody).
Annie pulled the yellow from the material as nicely and painted the window trim, built-ins, and ceiling on this deep butter shade. I personally need her to wallpaper the ceiling or paint it the darkish inexperienced shade – simply to actually go for it. However I really like these little seats and the spherical pillows she had made as nicely.
The identical cloth covers the window remedies alongside that large financial institution of home windows, and we tried to shoot all of them closed so you may get the total impact, however it was unattainable to see, ha. However perfect for a TV or film watching through the day! Right here’s a pattern of what they seem like closed:)
I believe this sectional towards the wallpaper is so highly effective and actually exhibits you the affect that sample drenching can have. Sure, this was a factor within the 50s and once more within the 80s, and sure, I’m a bit scared to do it myself, however it’s SUCH A VIBE to be in 🙂
Annie even put the identical sample on her TV (additionally on the classic espresso desk e book on the ottoman). Spoonflower’s Design Library is crammed with hundreds of beautiful prints created by gifted unbiased artists world wide. The design she used for this mission, by Spoonflower artist peacoquettedesigns, attracts inspiration from a medieval tapestry. It additionally is available in a couple of different colorways, though I really like that inexperienced. Spoonflower additionally sells any of their patterns in pillows, duvets, curtains, and bathe curtains – the customization feels infinite. So rad. The size of it’s a bit smaller on the partitions, FYI, so double examine that if you need say the material and partitions to be paired subsequent to one another and repeat seamlessly.
Each time you buy you’re actually serving to to help an artist, graphic designer, illustrator and so forth. I’m VERY tempted myself to create some patterns for our subsequent mission principally to see if I can stretch myself that manner.
Taking pictures this very non-EHD area was a visit in the very best of the way. The vitality of the household comes by means of – their irreverence, enjoyable, and creativity. They usually might by no means have executed this stage of sample drenching with out Spoonflower’s stock and talents. After all, you don’t HAVE to sample drench and you may simply order wallpaper like we did for our laundry closet and my niece’s closet. However if you wish to actually go for it, like Annie did on this room, you’ve hundreds of sample and shade choices, so simple as only a stripe or plaid.
