As we creep closer and closer towards the end of summer, I’ve been trying to think of ways to hold onto that feeling of summer bliss. Well it took me no time to realize that I should reach out to designer Rebecca Atwood. I first discovered Rebecca’s home decor collection at the Javits Center in 2015. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw her home collection was that it was colorful and serene ( a combo I assure you in interior design that often goes horribly wrong in execution). I knew this conversation was going to be perfect timing for many, including myself as a New Englander, knowing that winter is coming, and I desperately want to hold onto that feeling of summer in my home this fall!
Rebecca Atwood is a designer and artist whose original collection of homegoods focuses on the artistic process. Blending traditional textile techniques and hand painting, Rebecca creates products that are both simple and luxurious. The line is deeply rooted in Rebecca’s everyday observations of her life in Brooklyn as well as her personal history – growing up on Cape Cod surrounded by the ocean, antiques and the family restaurant. With a focus on printing, weaving and embroidery, the products are truly one of a kind. Rebecca’s collections span pillows, fabric-by-the- yard and wallpaper, are they all designed and ethically produced in small editions in the United States. Rebecca is also the author of the best-selling design book, Living with Pattern, where she demystifies how to use pattern, a design concept that often confounds and confuses, demonstrating how to seamlessly mix and layer prints throughout a house. In her highly-anticipated second
book, Living With Color, Rebecca explains how to create a color palette, teaching readers to find what resonates with their personal aesthetic and bring the magic of color into their homes.
