As the first featured designer in Target's 2009 Home Series, Orla Kiely has brought her playful yet practical collection to a Target near you. Her home and housewares designs for Target are fresh and inspired, colorfully cheeky and optimistic, and proof that great design can also be down-to-earth.
Always stylish and artistic, yet functional and attainable, Orla Kiely's designs are able to inspire nostalgia, yet still be entirely modern. She's taken that distinctive talent and applied it to all her designs for Target's home collection. Featuring dinner and servingware, storage boxes, closet organization, and table and kitchen linens, her collection has something for every area of the house.
Spice Up Your Kitchen!
We'll be spending more time in the kitchen now, if for no other reason than to wear Orla Kiely's super cute apron in a fun green apple and pear pattern. Or maybe we'll finally have that dinner party we've been planning and we'll set a beautiful table with her brightly pattered dishes and cork and fabric placemats. Her pear-patterned canisters are great for storing bulk items, like coffee or sugar, right on your counter. (They're too pretty to hide away in a cupboard.) And her charming floral mugs are the perfect way to perk up in the morning.
Refresh Your Desk!
Who wouldn't want to get organized when you have such fetching storage containers to show off? We think Orla Kiely's office accessories are just the impetus we need to create a clean and contained work space. From magazine organizers to milk crates, CD/DVD boxes to desk trays and totes, there's no reason your work can't be play, too.
Revamp Your Closet!
How about a little color with your closet? Forget about boring mesh shelves and white plastic shoe racks. Orla Kiely's shoe storage, hanging shelves, laundry bag, and over-the-door storage accessories are as stylish as you are, with retro patterns and colors that'll make getting dressed the highlight of your day.
Orla Kiely's designs speak to the fun-loving artist in all of us, and show that a little bit of pattern and color can go a long way towards brightening up your life.
