A mais recente edição da revista Homes & Antiques (na qual já falei aqui) tem um artigo sobre tecidos britânicos do pós-guerra. O texto é bastante informativo e, sobretudo, as fotografias são fabulosas. Há mais de 50 anos, estes padrões complementavam uma decoração bastante carregada e escura – paredes bordeaux ou verde-seco, muitos materiais e texturas misturados (madeira + tijolo + alcatifa) – mas o styling do artigo é fresco e bastante contemporâneo. Os móveis e acessórios são da mesma época, é certo, mas o branco das paredes, o chão de tábua corrida e a opção por pequenos apontamentos de tecido – almofadas, painéis e abat-jours em vez de cortinados pesados e franzidos – tornam estes tecidos muito apropriados à decoração de uma casa em 2010. Conseguiriam usá-los em vossas casas?
The latest issue of Homes & Antiques (I’ve already blogged about the magazine here) has an article on mid-century British textiles. The text is quite good and the photographs are extraordinary. More than 50 years ago, these prints would be part of an overall heavy, dark decorating style – aubergine or green walls, a mixture of materials and textures (wood + brick + carpets) – but this article’s styling is fresh and very up-to-date. The furniture and accessories are from the same era, true, but the white walls, the wooden floors and the way of presenting the fabrics – small details like cushions, wall hangings and lampshades instead of heavy curtains – make these textiles very easy to use in 2010 interior decoration. Now tell me, would you use them in your home?

I love these prints. I have some pottery from this period (rorstrand, egersund,gustavsberg)and I think it will be always up-to-date as all beautiful things are.
