Here are a few more contemporary designs that capture the bold graphics and pastels of the 1980's but with a brand new modern feel. First up we have wallpaper from Milton & King from their Ingrid + Mika collection. The Sentiments design above and below is great for statements whilst the simple grid design could have a myriad of uses as a backdrop for display. Charlotte love is a stylist

from time to time i post up a print theme and this time it focuses on tribal designs which can currently be seen on all manor of fashion items, art prints, and phone cases. the inspiration for this theme comes from aztec and navajo type motifs as well as nordic influences and a recent trend for all things triangular. to demonstrate the theme i have picked out some products and designs from etsy

as you'll know we designers have been into triangles for quite some time now, so it was interesting to see some recent uses for this trendiest of geometric shapes in the mainstream arena. these snaps were taken in john lewis where this new packaging fits in with the various products and themes of their 'playnation' trend (which also utilises the same pattern on a cushion amongst other items).in

whilst out clothes shopping this weekend i couldnt help but notice all the soaring bird prints. birds in flight was the theme with everything from swallows and swifts to more exotic birds.
ooo I really like these and I particularly like the prints by sarah louise matthews.
Really inspirating patterns!
Oooh, I love the Nordic-inspired print by Parada creations and the colour of the linocut by Tanya Brown. I'm trying to inject more colour, texture and pattern into my home and this has provided me with lots of inspiration - thanks!
