How to decorate your home with Mairi Helena Fabrics and Wallpapers
I’ve been receiving lots of lovely enquiries recently about advice on choosing paint colours to coordinate alongside my latest Mairi Helena Homelands Collection! So you have all kindly spurred me along to write a little blog post looking at some thoughts and ideas that I’ve had on paint colours that complement my velvet and linen fabrics. Plus I’ve included a few ideas of coordinating fabrics too which I hope may help provide some ideas for your upcoming home interior decorating projects..

So let’s start with my Mairi Helena
and
.
.
Paint Colours
.
Pair with the inky tones of
Hague Blue or if you’d like to go a shade lighter then consider Stiffkey Blue.
.
Fabrics
.
In my mood board above I’ve included a striking ‘Tessella Peacock’ from Sanderson, a stripy silk called ‘Mayan Sun’ from
and I’ve picked out ochre colours with the help of a Zoffany Linen ‘Cybele Amber and a ‘Boho Velvets Old Gold’ from

Paint Colours

Ooh there’s so may options! If you’re really wanting to make a statement and style it dark then how about
Railings or alternatively the lovely rich purple tones of Pelt or deep Mahogany.
.
Fabrics

I’d recommend keeping it rich and cosy and opting for a soft plush velvet. The purple velvet featured above is called ‘Boho Velvets Fig’ from
. The beautiful bird linen fabric featured also is called ‘Indigo Ink’ from
