Anthropologie House and Home has made it’s debut, and it is fabulous! I have always loved Anthropologie’s clothing line, and their home decor has the same wonderful, eclectic and unique approach to design. For romantics, optimists and artists alike, their standalone journal makes its debut with over 700 new styles. Find a stunning selection of rustic decor, mirrors, wallpaper, candles, furniture, sofas, garden & outdoor decor, storage, bedding, window treatments and much more. I’ve provided a few of my favorite images from their catalog below:
Every detail matters, be it the hand-carved scrollwork on a dining table, the petal-strewn voile atop a sculpted four-poster, or the tiny beads of a chandelier filled with English Tea.
Bedding: Georgina Duvet (available in 9 colors): Giant, dimensional dahlias spring to life from tucks of soft cotton voile.
The key to creating a cozy respite? Texture, texture and more texture – think dhurrie-clad sofas, tufted ottomans and chunky knit throws.
Bedding: Textured Chevron Duvet (available in 3 colors): There’s nothing quite like a duvet that combines textural details with neutral hues. It’s gently manipulated to create a sophisticated chevron motif that’s striking in both traditional and modern settings.
Never underestimate the power of a little luster. Gold accents instantly add softness and warmth to a room, especially when paired with natural wood furniture.
Bedding: Stitched Sitara Quilt: Rest assured, this stitched and screen-printed quilt feels as cozy as it looks. Inspired by traditional Indian embroidery, it creates a well-traveled look layered with a tasseled throw.
Mixing patterns and textures atop the bed can be tricky ;
The trick is to use different scales of pattern. If your sheets have a small-scale print, use a bigger, bolder pattern on your top layers or throw pillows. Adding a graphic pattern, like a stripe, is also is great to mix with other types of patterns like florals—especially at the end of your bed—as it has a grounding effect.
You run hot, he runs cold? Not to worry – with its excellent air permeability and heat conductivity, this soft-washed linen bedding is just right, for whatever your temperature requirement.
Bedding: Soft Washed Linen Duvet
Linen is one of the oldest natural fabrics known to man. This season, Anthropologie is sprucing up their linen bedding with contemporary hues and color-drenched dip-dyes. Linen dates back to 30,000 B.C., when it was first used to wrap Egyptian pharaohs in their tombs. Linen complements both classic and more modern bedrooms, depending how you launder it. Laid flat after washing, your duvet will have a casual, rumpled look. Steaming or ironing will create a crisp and clean style. It gets softer with every wash, which means the texture will become lovelier—and more luxurious—with time.Its excellent air permeability and heat conductivity keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Flax fiber is dust and bacteria resistant, making it a natural non-allergenic choice.
Zocalo Embroidered Quilt
These hothouse quilts are a labor of love -after all, each one takes takes 72 hours, 60 hands, 13 different processes and countless colors to create. This richly colored quilt adds a perennial twist to bedroom basics.
From the pages of Vogue to the bedrooms of the White House, it seems as though John Robshaw’s textiles are everywhere. His vibrant, exotic homewares are inspired by traditional block-printing techniques, which he studied for years alongside local artisans in Central and Southeast Asia. Each product – think Phulkari-embroidered pillows and hand-quilted bedding – reveals as much about his love of travel as it does about fine design. Here, intricate embroidery echoes fine marble carvings that are characteristic of Mughal architecture.
DINING ROOM
Invest in one quality piece, like a hand-carved table or a chandelier crafted of naturally shed deer antler, and keep it for generations. Think of it as the antique of the future.
Dining Room: Handcarved Menagerie Dining Table: With fine design in mind, and wildlife as their muse, Anthropologie has created an enchanting piece that’s a natural fit for your dining room. Meticulously handcarved over the course of thirty days, it features stylized foliage and a bevy of woodland wanderers.
When incorporating large-scale furniture into a room, let those grand pieces do the talking and keep the rest of your decor spare-cut greens and fruit are simple touches that don’t detract from the main event.
Folkthread Chairs
While visiting Manhattan’s Crosby Street Hotel, Anthropologie buyers came across these vibrant, rug-covered dining chairs by British designer Kit Kemp. Having admired her colorful, quirky aesthetic and bold mix of materials, they asked her to curate a collection of furniture and decor that echoes her signature style. In fact, each piece would feel right at home in any one of her boutique hotels in London and New York City.
Kalasha Dining Table
With its strong, sculptural presence, this handcarved table is finished in a gray wash wax that enhances the wood’s natural knot and grain. Even better, its urn-shaped legs create a substantial feel without taking up extra room.
Opus Dining Table
With enough room to comfortably seat four, this handcarved table stays true to its medieval inspiration with scrolled legs and ornate details.
Neat with a Twist. Classic at heart, but crave something a tad unexpected? Take a time-honored shape like the chesterfield and trade its traditional leather upholstery for bold hued velvet.
Printed Tillie Archair
From his London loft, textile artist Paul Roberts designs quirky-conversational prints that are inspired by his love of animals. Here, they’ve upholstered a classic English shape in one of his charming motifs, created exclusively for Anthropologie. It’s true: pattern really is the new black – just keep your color palette in the same family, and then mix and match prints to your hearts content.
Embroidered Kaili Armchair
This curvy, wingback respite is upholstered in hand-printed linen inspired by Thai batik fabrics. With hints of embroidery, sweeping arms and a tufted back, it’s a worldly addition to any nook of your home.
ANTHROPOLOGIE DECOR
Traditional kantha embroidery is created from a running stitch rendered by skilled Indian artisans. In fact, it’s considered to be a form of artistic expression – a personal diary of sorts – told by a single set of hands. Practiced for centuries, this time-honored technique finds its way into our living spaces with pieces like this bold, beautiful blanket.
Beau Soir Mirror
Ornate details of French neoclassical architecture inspired this elegantly handcrafted mirror.
From the pages of Vogue to the bedrooms of the White House, it seems as though John Robshaw’s textiles are everywhere. His vibrant, exotic homewares are inspired by traditional block-printing techniques, which he studied for years alongside local artisans in Central and Southeast Asia. Each product – think Phulkari-embroidered pillows and hand-quilted bedding – reveals as much about his love of travel as it does about fine design. Case in point: this cozy throw.
This striking chandelier, dripping with wooden beads, pays homage to the age-old art of jewelry making in Vietnam. Its moderate proportions make it a fitting accent for your entryway or bedroom.
“Usually, we see dramatic chandeliers in a big room, centered. But sometimes it actually works really well to put a one in an unexpected place—over an entry table in a hallway or in a bathroom. I love juxtaposition. Pairing a beat-up wooden dining table with an oversized crystal chandelier can create the best kind of balance.”
Try to refrain from placing these vibrant dishes in the china cabinet; they’re much too charming to wait around for special occasions.
