Mad for Mid-century: You know you love Mid-century modern design if
The new Laura Ashley Editions collection gives a nod to both Mid-century cool and the palette of brights that made Sixties' homes so groovy.
The range includes furniture, lighting, wallpaper, bedding, gifts and accessories – everything you need to create a cohesive look for your living room or bedroom.
Here are a few items from the Editions range that will help you recreate the above look.
Editions: Chevron Printed Sunshine Rug
Rugs in the Editions range are individually screen printed, giving each a distinct colour variation. The combination of sunshine yellows and moody greys, will give an understated injection of colour into your room of choice.
While the Chevron pattern may seem a departure for the brand, you may be surprised to learn what Laura and Bernard Ashley started fashioning when they started their fledgling textiles enterprise in the Fifties.
Working out of their flat they produced small fabric squares with geometric patterns – so the brand's foray into alternative patterns may not be so new after all!
