Take a Seat

JA pouf

Extra seating is always a plus.   At Jigsaw, we love adding  seating in a fun and playful way.   Using benches, stools and whimsical poufs can add that perfect finishing touch.

 Wether you want functional seating or simply to add a little personality, placing a bench at the end of the bed is always a lovely touch.  The Jigsaw designers are big fans of the tufted bench and of course, the mongolian sheep skin bench as featured below.

These Moroccan poufs are a fun option for adding seating to your space.  Available by many different designers at a variety of price points from  Jonathan Adler to Target.

Add a pop of color to play up a neutral room,  or use a metallic silver or gold instead of a basic neutral.  Can’t make up your mind…white is always chic!

If you prefer something with more structure and functionality, then the classic X bench is possibly for you.    This clean and classy shape is so flexible and can be dressed up or down with nail heads, cow hides, ikat prints, you name it.
Finding the bench that suits your personality is the key.  Wether traditional, bohemian, or sleek and modern the bench can be the perfect finishing touch for your space.  As trends change you can always reupholster the fabric to update your style.
 Behind the couch, at the foot of the bed, or under a console table.  Tuck these little gems in the best place for you.  These additions should be convenient and balanced in your space.

Pretty in Pink-Color of the Month

Pink is not just for Barbie anymore.  2016 is fairing a very fine start for this ladylike hue.  Launching these girly vibes into the new year were top celebs on the Golden Globe red carpet.  While these divas rocked these gorgeous frocks,  the Jigsaw designers will take you down the red carpet in home decor in their pretty pink shades.

Kate Hudson nude w touch of pink

Kate Hudson dazzled in her nude meets blush beaded dress reminiscent of I Dream of Jeanine.  This soft muted tone is so neutral is can be used on a grand scale or little touches.  Like this fun puckered lips print found on etsy. Playing well with most colors, but we find it especially fun with bright yellow in this lighthearted kids space.

Alway chic and somewhat avant-guard is the lovely Cate Blanchett.

Kate Blanchett pale pink 20s fringe

Her 20’s vibe with oodles of fringe in pale pink turned heads as usual.  The sheen of her dress and the era are reflected in this gorgeous bedroom with pale pink walls, velvet headboard and curtains.  We are also loving this pale pink glam velvet sofa with clean lines making the shape more flexible for different genres of style.

Leslie Mann won our hearts in the blush category contrary to famed Perez Hilton’s opinion.

While silk chiffon in blush was complimented by delicate beading, the Jigsaw Design team like to rock this girly color with studs.  For example this headboard with nailheads also found on Etsy.  Likewise, taking this delicate color to new heights like the cloud geometric print by Lola and Lila could we a lovely finishing touch to your space.

However having a lifetime love affair with Christian Dior we are feeling the bubble gum pink of Katy Perry’s dress, we can’t say the same for the silhouette…sorry Dior…

On the other hand, we can’t get enough of this bubble gum Eames Ball chair.  For the more conservative side, try a classic Chippendale style chair in this timeless color.

Iridescent Style-Shine with Opulence

One of our favorite merging design trends to watch for in 2016 is the luminous ever changing shine of iridescent.

The Jigsaw Design team has seen growing popularity in all things iridescent.  From wallpaper to furniture options are growing by the number.  Take for example artistic furniture designer Patricia Urqiola,  Her shimmer series offers tables, consoles and shelving in this opalescent hue that seems to be ever changing from angle to angle.

Iridescent wallpaper is a great option for an accent wall.  A hallway or small sitting room are great places to add this look into your home.

Equally, using iridescent tile for a powder room or bathroom add a touch of glam to these spaces.  Wether on the wall or on the floor these tiles are available in so many iridescent colors from dark hues to pure white, all with an opalescent rainbow sheen. The iridescent gold above the tub in this master bath gleams with added depth below.

Like the iridescent look but don’t want a big commitment?  Add touches of iridescent through a few accessories like a pearlescent vase or bowl on the dining table.

Likewise, the glass globe by Sebastian Scherer is so simple in style but the iridescent sheen makes it wonderfully interesting.  For a beachside vibe an iridescent capiz chandelier as a focal point can be the perfect touch.  The changing light from every angle will give your room a wow factor!
