Traditional lemon print pillows

Lemon printed fabrics can definitely suit traditional decorating style. Citrus fruits have featured in fabric and wallpaper designs for centuries. Just think of William Morris’ Four Fruits design, which featured limes and pomegranates. Morris & Co now produce a Lemon Tree design inspired by the original fruit pattern.

Lemon cushions in mid-century modern decor

Mid-century modern style seems to be very popular at the moment. It’s an interior design style that became popular in the 1940’s (post war). The main features of this style are simple, clean lines, organic shapes with an emphasis on functionality. When it comes to prints and fabrics, mid-century modern patterns are characteristically simple or geometric shapes.

Available in 2 sizes, this made to order pillow cover has the lovely lemon design on both sides. You can also purchase the correct insert for the cover at the same time.

Hamptons and coastal decorating

Named after the sophisticated beach homes in Long Island, Hamptons Style is still very popular. Natural light. white walls and lovey contrasts in black, blues and natural timbers are all features of Hampton’s style.

Especially lemon prints in neutrals, blues and greens, with linen or calico fabrics.
