I was so excited to see Vané Broussard‘s lovely home featured on the West Elm blog last week, and even more thrilled to see a pair of Cotton & Flax Zig Zag pillows warming her new modern sofa. I love when my customers share their homes, and Vané’s gorgeous Brooklyn home is no exception. That rainbow bookshelf has me smiling!

I’ve been doing some guest blogging — contributing full articles on contemporary LA Design to Life in Sketch, and sharing ideas for editorial pieces with other writers, like Justina Blakeney and her blog, The Jungalow. I recently compiled cobalt interiors inspiration for a post on The Jungalow, and I thought I’d share some extra inspiration here. Above: you can’t deny the appeal of a beautiful blue fridge — this Smeg is a beauty.
The blue wall and ceiling in this outdoor lounge is stunning. Love the way the slats in the walls let light through, but the lounge still feels secluded.
Our Indigo Zig Zag pillow is a great way to add a pop of cobalt blue to your home.
No shortage of beautiful blue doors and gates — this door was spotted in Israel, and the gate in Puerto Rico.
Can you believe how bold this bathroom is?! All that beautiful blue tile, combined with gorgeous jungle plants… every shower would feel like an exotic getaway.
If you want to add a tiny dose of cobalt, a little planter like this one from Atelier Stella would do the trick.
So excited to have spotted Cotton & Flax tea towels in the Design Matters issue of Anthology Magazine! This was in an article on the beautiful home of Richard Kim and Kristine Arellano of Presshaus LA – you might recognize her home as the location where I shot my Fall/Winter lookbook with Laure Joliet!
I can’t get enough of their home. They designed their gorgeous modern home from the ground up, and as any lover of minimalist modern decor knows, it’s tough to achieve this level of cohesive beauty!
You can check out more photos from Jessica Comingore’s shoot for Anthology Magazine over on her blog.
It’s been quite a while since I debuted new pillows! This year, I decided to change things up a little bit. Rather than debuting two big collections per year (one in Spring, and one in Fall), I decided to release a smaller number of products more frequently, so that things would feel fresher around the studio. It’s been pretty busy at Cotton & Flax HQ — this year, I’ve debuted new tea towels, lavender sachets (which sold out in record time), and patterned notebooks. Phew!
While there are no new patterns in today’s debut, I spent weeks choosing the colors I wanted to add to the collection, and I was surprised by the new shades I finally landed on. The biggest surprise for me was blush pink! I’m certainly not known for being very girly, but this mural by Michelle Weinberg on the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami was so striking, it convinced me that pink + black = next level modernity that needs to be in your home.
I also wasn’t planning to add more blue to the collection, but this bright indigo fabric was calling to me. It just feels so fresh, and adds a nice pop of color to the collection. Love the way it looks next to our gold pillows — really shows off the best traits of both fabrics.
Another new favorite: the dusty blue plus pillow on the top of this pile. This fabric has a subtle warmth to it — a result of being a yarn-dyed linen. I really enjoy this fabric paired with the indigo, or this grey pillow, which you may recognize…
… A return of an old favorite fabric, the black chambray linen! This fabric has a lot of dimension, due to the heathered weave of the chambray fabric, which adds a little complexity to the pattern.
I’m so grateful to have been able to work with Laure Joliet to shoot these pillows! She continues to be one of my favorite artists, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Hooray for collaborating with friends!
I’m excited to hear what you think of the new collection — let me know your favorites on Twitter or Instagram!
Wanted to share some Cotton & Flax sightings! I spotted one of my tea towels on Refinery 29 yesterday, the beautiful modern home of Anna Dorfman. It’s such a thrill to spot my work “in the wild.” I get so much inspiration from seeing how you style your Cotton & Flax goods at home.
Love this photo of Laure Joliet‘s studio, the pillows mixed with the lambswool is so cozy.
I love following Whitney Leigh Morris‘s on Instagram, she shares such beautiful photos of her home. Here she styled a Cotton & Flax pillow with lots of other neutral textures in the bedroom to create a layered look. Doesn’t hurt that her pup Stanlee is pretty much the cutest, too!
Show me how you style Cotton & Flax goods in your home! Tag me on Instagram, and I may share your photo here on the blog!
Fresh peeks from my favorite Instagram feeds! I get so much inspiration from seeing how you use Cotton & Flax goods, thanks for taking the time to post a glimpse into your beautiful homes.
Above: I love how Shelli from Worley’s Lighting combines lots of black and white elements on her sofa for a layered look.
Check out the way that Whitney Leigh Morris has layered pattern out on her deck – that’s one incredibly cozy movie night!
