Patterns

What is an Ikat pattern?  I asked myself after a discussion with a client while deciding between several patterns for throw pillows in a family room which opens to the kitchen I am currently designing.  My client mentioned her affinity for Ikat patterns and I honestly could not conjure an image in my mind.  So, naturally, following our meeting, I decided to Google Ikat patterns and stumbled upon an article on patterns that makes for a good read.  My journey as a kitchen designer has been evolving into whole house space planner and home designer for several reasons.  The primary is the recent trend in open kitchen plans, which immediately creates a visual blend of adjacent rooms with colors and patterns and the need to convey cohesive aesthetics throughout the whole house. 

My first love will always be kitchen design and I will never tire of my practice in blending technical details with aesthetics, but it has been a wonderful adventure having the opportunity to broaden my design capabilities by developing a client’s personal style throughout the house.  Click on the link below to read about design patterns.
