Decorate Like A DIY Pro

Every season I get enthusiastic and inspired by new trends and colors when flipping through the latest home decor magazines that I determine a new color pattern for my office and decorating ideas for dinner partiers with friends. The playful designs from Spoonflower caught my attention, especially the cool pineapple and pina colada prints.

Founded in 2008, Spoonflower was created by two internet geniuses whose artistic wives wanted to design custom fabrics of their own. What began as a dream turned into a large community of likeminded individuals able to custom design their own wallpaper, fabric, gift wrap and framed artwork. Spoonflower’s Marketplace also houses one of the largest collections of independent designers in the world if DIY designs are not your forte. So that fabric you fell in love with can be used to customize anything your heart desires, like the chair you snagged at your favorite antique shop can be customized using one of Spoonflower’s brands, Roostery.

An added bonus for the environment, Spoonflower’s digital print process utilizes eco-friendly, water-based pigment inks and dyes to conserve on waste. With so many choices, we’re talking over 350,000 designs with more added every day, how can I possibly choose just one design? I think a DIY gift wrapping party is an order this fall! Stay tuned…
