Award season has arrived in Hollywood with the Golden Globes and Oscars taking centre stage in gossip columns and fashion magazines this January. While we may not be able to indulge in the glamour and extravagance of Hollywood life we can bring some star studded decor into our homes with some simple yet stylish star print interior design. From subtle modern incarnations to retro American designs, star patterned items and accessories will create an uplifting and cheerful ambiance in any home interior.
This fun and funky print is a great way of creating a contemporary yet retro feel in your home interior. Star print wallpaper is a hugely popular design this season and comes in a vast range of colours and styles to suit all tastes. Bold monochrome designs or red and white combinations look fabulous in minimal home interiors and American style kitchen diners while a classic combination of white and dove grey will create a sophisticated look within a bedroom or living room area. Pastel tones and small star prints look amazing in a chic bedroom, dressing room or nursery area and provide a shabby chic style that is feminine and elegant.
Fabrics such as curtains and cushions can be used to update your current interior style in a simple and cost effective way. A selection of bold star print cushions will update a plain sofa area or add a bold area of colour and pattern to a neutral bedding set. Star print curtains create a focal point that works in a similar way to a wallpapered feature wall and can provide a sumptuous and elegant look when selected in earthen or dusky tones that are fresh yet cosy. This pattern is also great for creating a patriotic American style interior when displayed in a selection of red, white and blue colour palettes and why not throw in a nod to the contemporary superhero craze with a Captain America inspired circular star print cushion.
Star print rugs are a great way of transforming a neutral or outdated interior space, creating a zoned area of colour and pattern as well as providing a warm and textural finish within your home interior. A bold colourful star print rug will look fabulous in a children’s nursery or teenager’s bedroom and can be combined with both feminine and masculine colour combinations for a versatile and eye-catching interior design. Your choice of rug, runner or doormat can be co-ordinated to your wallpaper and upholstery or can be used as an individual statement item that will become the focal point of your interior space.
Lighting is a perfect way of creating a cosy ambiance within your home interior, from ceiling lights to bedside lamps, star designs provide a unique and stylish feel in any living room, office or bedroom. Star shaped lamp bases create a focal point on a sideboard, table or console and are a subtle addition that can be incorporated into vintage and modern home interiors. Crisp white and pastel tones will look amazing in a bedroom setting as well as deep black and burgundy that create a classic and glamorous Hollywood feel. Star print ceiling shades will provide a focal point in any bedroom interior and look particularly stylish in a children’s bedroom or playroom for a space inspired interior theme. For an authentic Hollywood diner look then choose a wall mounted, clear or neon star shaped light and place it above a breakfast bar or sideboard for a funky and fun 1950s feel.
The high street is awash with star print accessories and tableware making it easy to add complimentary and functional star print items to your home. A selection of plates, mugs and cups will look fabulous in a vintage kitchen or dining room area and can be partnered with an oilcloth table covering in candy apple red or blue and a selection of stools in chrome and star print fabric. American influenced kitchen bowls and serving plates will look amazing when entertaining guests or settling down for a movie night with the family and can be purchased in bold colour schemes or neutral designs for a more delicate take on this bold print.
