Nice and New: Designers Guild Spring 2010
Punxsutawney Phil may have given us a few more weeks of Winter, but Designers Guild just debuted its Spring 2010 collection, so now the season is really here! The collection features exquisitely drawn florals along strong geometrics with an architectural influence. As always, the palette is fresh and feminine — lots of chartreuse, citrus, duck egg, pistachio, and pink peony, plus neutrals with Read more

Designers Guild, aka heaven, is having its Midseason Sale now, offering discounts of up to 50 percent off of bed linens, cushions, blankets, rugs, towels, and whites.

The retailer's soft floral prints, delicate embroideries, and modern weaves don't come cheaply, Read more
Nice and New: Designers Guild Cushions
London-based luxury fabric and wall-covering company Designers Guild is hands down one of my favorite retailers of home décor of all time. If you're in the market for indulgent, feminine, colorful, and sophisticated textiles, DG is the answer. I'm always particularly won over by the retailer's stunning collection of throw pillows ("cushions"), made from luxurious cut velvets and sumptuous silks, Read more
Roundup: Striped Table Linens
Stripes are the little black dress of tabletop décor. They're always in style. You can never go wrong with a good striped or broad-plaid tablecloth. For instance, I'm absolutely in love with the Designers Guild Dickenson print, and I don't see that changing . . . ever. It's a good thing, because a table cloth and six napkins will cost me $195. For now, I might have to treat myself to a set of Read more
Crave Worthy: The Rug Company Durbar Hall Rug
It's no wonder I felt an instant attraction to The Rug Company Durbar Hall Rug ($1,795- $25,920); the chartreuse and charcoal flocked rug is designed by Designers Guild — a favorite luxury home furnishing brand of mine. Made of 100 knot, Tibetan wool and silk, it's a high-quality rug that would probably outlive me, if I could ever afford to make the splurge. Its flowing branches and Read more
Coveted Crib: Mark Homewood's Mod Victorian
The eclectic early Victorian row house of Designers Guild buyer Mark Homewood was recently featured in the Brit shelter mag, Livingetc. The Stockwell, London house is full of contrasts, with white used as a backdrop for furnishings bold in both color and form surrounded by architectural details reflective of an earlier time. To put it briefly, the word "coveted" doesn't begin to describe the Read more
Crave Worthy: Designers Guild Throws
Talk about crave worthy: These Designers Guild Throws ($200-$225) are utterly delectable! Lambswool reversible jacquard with, in some cases, a fringed edge, and a bold punch of color land these throws on the top of my wish list. There's no reason you have to get cozy with a drab plaid blanket in the Winter months — why not warm up with the colors of Spring? Although the styling in these Read more
