Is It a New Trend - White and Black?

By LenkArt Ikea_bl_wht_large

This is page from Ikea catalogue.Was not black-and-white around before? May be I wasn’t looking for white and black items and just didn’t noticed them?It seems everyone is offering black-and-white decorative accessories nowadays.I am wondering, how strong the influence of fashion industry is on interior décor? I have feeling that it takes about 2-4 years for colours, fabric patterns and textures from fashion industry to be adopted in Home Décor field.What is your opinion?  »MORE

From Garbage to Bedroom

By LenkArt Burgundy_chair_before_large

Years ago I found this chair in the garbage. I liked it then, and I love it now. Fabric was old and dated , so I decided to reupholster it myself. Fabric choice wasn't difficult, I already had draperies from same fabric.It took me a while  to take all staples out. I used old fabric parts as my template to cut new pieces of fabric. It was my first experience with upholstery, I think I achived what I wanted. I just want to repeat  one more time - try new things to do, otherwise you will never know what you are... »MORE

Decorative pillow from fabric leftovers.

By LenkArt Pillow_black_violet_large

  I had leftovers of silk fabric ( narrow stripes about 2.5" wide and other 4.5" stripes, and a little piece of black silk) from my window treatment project. I did this decorative pillow in about an hour.My advice: just look at what you have and try to imagine what you can do from it. I am sure you will find good ideas.  »MORE

How to deal with loose ends on fabrics like this one:

By LenkArt Dscf5224_large

 I had difficulties working with this fabric, and if somebody could suggest some solutions, it will be very much appreciated. I did a big valance and a couple of pillows , and every time I was sewing edges to secure those loose ends. It takes a lot of extra time.  So may be there is another easier way to deal with this problem. Thanks, Elena www.customdrapery.ca  www.lenkart.com    »MORE
