Ombre Patterns

As the fertility of summer leaves fades away, Mother Nature is gradually remodeling her leafy color schemes to those of varying degrees of reds, ochres, and hazels.

To echo the rustic integrity of nature, one may integrate the style of Autumn Ombre tones as bringing a cozy and naturalistic setting to any home.

Ombre-the gradual fading affect of colors- is shown through the sunsets and sunrises, ocean and beach decors that come to radiate an almost perfectionist simplicity despite its gradual array of colors.

A Martha Stewart Ombre Pendant lamp is formed with layers of cotton to create a gradual and warm translucence. The simple structure forms a centralized fixture combined with a sleek and cylindrical shape to maintain a prosaic balance. However, the ochre pattern commands a presence that reproduces the invigorating sepia glow of sunlight through autumn leaves.

The fluctuation of single or various pigments can create an effervescent environment with the space in which you live. Complimenting ombre patterns with similar hues in other household objects can create a sense of balance in an entire room, but it will also magnify the prominent variety of shades. Antiques embellished in ombre can not only enhance the natural flow of color, but give an aging and rustic pulchritude a modern elegance.

While some may like to vary the dimensions and vibrancy of some patterns, ombre fluctuates smoothly from each changing color to create a mood of tranquil evolution in a given object’s design. The patterns and color ranges from a minimalist one toned hues to an inventive take on nature’s ever changing qualities of seasons.

Horne Style

Horne was founded on juxtaposed backgrounds. Alissa, born and raised in the Bad Lands of Texas (Yep, Friday Night Lights style) with wild brambles, thorny flora and biting fauna, brings a free spirited connection with nature to her style. Ryan, an academic at heart, brings a European chic and educated minimalism to the boutiques selections. You know, opposites attract and all that jazz.

Now, we can't go just throwing any Ying and Yang against a wall and hope they'll stick. The beauty of differences is often the ability to find the underlying commonalities. Themes underplay our differences like notes in a symphony.

Beyond waxing poetic, these differences can spice up your style as well. Take a concept, throw a bit of rustic with a dash of modern chic and marvel at the results.

As temperatures start dropping in the states and Fall's fingers work their way through the trees, I've really been into the idea of laying next to a fire and enjoying a good book. This cow-hide rug by Yerra is truly a unique piece. Each one will come with different accents and characteristics from it's homeland in Argentina. Adding both visual and physical warmth to the room, it's a great way of lightening up a modern loft or home.

Accompany this rug with any number of our modern fireplaces. From table top flames to unique fireplace accessories, a true autumn retreat is warm an waiting like mom's apple pie. Hit that sweet spot of old-school hunting lodge and sleek modern flat to add character and flare.

Design in the DIY Age

DIY and style mesh in this unique Floral Pendant by David Trubridge. Shipped in a flat pack, they also save on shipping costs.

What's most tantalizing here is the reward of putting the whole thing together yourself. As ever, style and story are stuck together like this pendant. Walking under the pendant in your living room or foyer, it'll serve as a memoir to handicraft. Plus, who isn’t impressed by something hand made?

Blending a splendid sight of nature, sustainability, and style, Trubridge based this off of a flower native to western Australia.

DIY is gaining in popularity for all of the same reasons our modern home décor is: it stands out. Ikea and other mass-market make bland statements. Sad phrasing for a boring sentence. Style is in the unique details which set one room apart from another. Here’s yours.

We love it's quirky flower pattern and it’s eco-friendly shipping and bamboo structure. You’ll love it just the same in a light-hued room.
