I love me some ikat. I had my antique Louis XV chairs recovered last summer in a navy ikat after our dog decided they were expensive enough to destroy (he is amazingly talented at sniffing out anything of value and chewing it just shy of complete ruin).
Anyway, I liked the idea of taking something so elegant and classic in its form like the Louis chairs and adding a bit of funk. Ikat, with its blurred edges and ethnic vibe, seemed like the perfect compliment for such a sophisticated seat so I went for it.
Ikat (pronounced ee-kat) has apparently been making a run in home decor and fashion for the past few years. And these days, I feel like I am seeing it everywhere. Even my beloved lululemon has a ikat pattern out for spring!
So if you dig ikat like I do, there are lots of ways to get your fix. You can go bold and use it on larger pieces of furniture...
or go soft and play it safe with some pillows. Heck, you can just drape yourself in a lululemon power y tank and have a seat.
End result for my Louis chairs? My living room now has a fresh and funky focal point and Captain Peanut Butter, a new bed. Like it was his grand plan all along. Stupid human.
Love, Lil
