alwaysthink of your yarn creations as genuine works of art and give them the attention and care they deserve
Bringing warmth and personality into our homes is something all of us will be looking for to escape a hectic virtual world. So, to answer your question, there are no limits to where the yarn movement might go next — one thing is for sure, it is here to stay!
TRUTH OR DARE, TELL US A TRADE SECRET, OR TWO!
We say — only use yarn colors that fit your home like a glove (contrasting colors are fine, but nothing really obscene please...); slightly more tricky to execute, combine yarns with your favorite design pieces and make them work together to create a theme; then, use different materials that contrast with yarns; last but not least, always think of your yarn creations as genuine works of art and give them the attention and care they deserve. That’s all there’s to it. Easier said than done, but tackle these tips one by one and you should be fine!
HOW TO KEEP your home owners HAPPY?
Difficult question! We want to bring out the personality of a home owner, but at the same time we want to give the interior a distinct April and May feel. We normally start with an empty space and then start adding materials, background, accessories, but when working with an existing home, we are very conscious to keep it personal and recognizable for the family that lives there. While we may drastically change the interior of a home, if we do our work well, the family will still feel right at home! A “bright” personal feel and natural yarn features were key ingredients for this styling. We tried to capture that in these images and hope you feel at home too!
We were thrilled to collaborate with April and May for our debut issue. Rest assured, you will meet them again soon. -x-
