Funkis – Eye Candy from Down Under

By: Holly Becker, decor8

Yummy vintage and modern prints from Australian based Funkis can be yours! From wallpaper to textiles, ceramics to lamps, I enjoyed simply poking around their website to view their collection of fun lush patterns for a dose of creative inspiration.

See these images? I’ve pulled together a few that I really liked, and focused a little on black and white since it’s destined to be a big hit next season (Fall/Winter 06). Plus, I love bold black and starck white with a burst of color, like fire engine red. Trend-on and so chic. 

Creative tip: Pull some images from their site and put together some eye candy inspiration for yourself using Photoshop or any graphics program. It’s fun to group patterns in clusters of four or six (as shown), but more importantly, you are training your eye to see how various color combinations work together (or clash). If you have a color printer, print out your creations and tack them to your idea board. Who knows,  it may inspire your next room renovation!
