3D craze hits homes

Have you seen the film Avatar? We’re going crazy at the moment for everything and anything 3D-related, and the interiors world is no exception. Tactile felt/paper/fabric wall coverings and home accessories with 3D elements and geometric patterns have been multiplying of late. Check out these stunning wall-coverings from Catherine Hammerton:

This 3D thang has been on its way for a while… we’ve all seen Selina Rose‘s lovely rugs and bespoke wall panels with butterflies and leaves that seem to fly towards you, and now architectural Origami-style 3D materials are the funky young textile designer’s staple – check out Kim Bassett’s work at Print, Tuft and Fold for example. The high street shops have cottoned on now, too – M&S has got a fabulous pouffe in its spring/summer 2010 collection, covered with 3D felt flowers, and textured 3D cushions inspired by scales, feathers, petals, leaves and knots are popping up everywhere now, from B&Q to Debenhams…

Going back to Catherine Hammerton for a moment – have you seen her 3D fish scales wallpaper? It’s beautiful:

I’m going a bit off-piste now, but since we’re on the subject, let’s treat ourselves to a little look at her beautiful bespoke wallpapers and fabrics with postage stamps, flowers and other delicious little embellishments…

This tablecloth is so lovely, too…

Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, the 3D trend, yadda yadda…SO, have you seen the lovely loop cushions from UK designer Rebecca Barton at Cush Lab? I love these:

I’m also smitten with the work of south London textile artist, Sam Payne. Her ‘Origami Landscapes’ are so serene and gorgeous:

And let’s finish with a peep at the work of Helen Amy Murray – stunning 3D textiles…

But how to ‘get the look for less’, as they say? Simple, get a lovely 3D leather floral corsage and pin it to a cushion you’ve already got – job’s a good ‘un. Have a lovely weekend. – Ellie
