I can’t stop myself from jumping, late, onto the Ikat bandwagon. I love that the design is created by dying either the warp or weft of a weave, such a simple change that creates such a distinct, painterly look. In this month’s Elle Decor I came across one I had never seen before from Brunschwig […]
