Feeling inspired by Dorothy Draper

I had to laugh when I saw this quote from Dorothy Draper. I completely know the feeling. There are far too many ideas in my head, and styles that I love, to possibly cram them all into my own home!


For those of you that haven't heard of Dorothy Draper, she is generally considered the first interior designer. She was famous (and still is) for her bold use of colour and incredible pattern mixing.

Dorothy is an inspiration to designers around the world and I particularly admire her use of black and white chequered floors, bright floral chintz and delicious bold stripes.

Here are a few of my favourite interiors by Dorothy Draper...
