At the end of my recent post about Islamic Mosaic patterns I left you with a question; how would you use mosaic patterns in your home design? Just in case you were wondering how to answer that question, here are some ideas that could inspire you.
Filmore Clark– Tile Pattern
West Elm-Bed Headboard
Royal Design Studio-Wall Stencils
Macys
Jonathan Adler-Rug
Amazon-Toss Pillow
As you can see, you can use a whole islamic mosaic pattern or pick out a single geometric shape from these mosaics to give your home a beautiful Arabic style look.
So, What do you think? Are you inspired yet? I know I am . I am imagining a stenciled accent wall in one of these patterns, or a stenciled lamp shade. In all cases, it is going to be a stencil!! What can I say, I love stencils. 🙂
Back to my original question, how would YOU use Islamic mosaic patterns in your home? Don’t be shy now, please share your thoughts. 🙂
I`m crazy about Moroccan interior decoration and I`m planning to paint a door in my apartment in an apricot color and add a stenciled arabesque flower pattern in turquoise on it, like the style you see on many of the beautiful fountains. I have a specific one in mind for inspiration, the arabesque tile pattern on the fountain in Riad Papillon, Marrrakech.I just discovered this website btw, very interesting and inspirational reading!
My fiancé and I are painting a HUGE canvas to hang on the wall behind our couch in an Islamic tile-inspired pattern. He is from India and is also muslim, and I studied Islamic art in college and visited many mosques in Turkey. We try to bring that art into our home because it has influenced our lives in many ways.
Lovely!
