Perfectly Paisley

Although the paisley motif is a notable trend in the décor world at the moment, this pretty pattern has been around for centuries and can be traced back to Indian and Iranian origins. Turning up on everything from furniture to pottery, this exotic design can make a bold statement in the home, and can add just the right amount of vibrancy to a room. For example, if your living room is lacking lustre, why not try a set of coloured, paisley printed pillows on the sofa or an upholstered accent chair? Kick your boudoir up a notch by placing a large, beautiful paisley rug underneath your bed. Paisley in key areas of the home that need a little TLC can add an instant update.
