If you've ever wanted inspiration to fill your home with pattern, you must check out Lisa Fine's Parisian apartment in The New York Times. A former contributing editor of Elle Decor and House Beautiful, Fine has completely changed the interior of her home with printed fabrics...




What a great bathroom!

Inspired by a trip to a tented camp in India, Fine uses silk tent panels, block printed cotton and woven fabric for saris to great results as wall coverings. Are you inspired yet? Check out the full story, In Paris, an Apartment Inspired by India and Turkey and all the pictures in the slideshow.

this was featured in a magazine recently. different angles of course. maybe elle decor? i love the arched curtains behind the master bed. wanted to do that in my place.
Yes, it was in Elle Decor.
Honestly? I don't like it at all. I don't think the decor suits the architecture or the light of Paris.
I love it. Everything old is new again. This is classic tradtional.
Beautiful pictures. I like all but the living room picture where there is fabric on ceiling....it's a bit overkill in that room....plus it looks dreary in that room, especially with that dark heavy chandelier hanging above. The other rooms are lovely though.
want the bathtub.
It's visually pretty but a bit too much pattern and fabric for me. I like the bedroom and bathroom the best. Everything else is just a lil too much.
Oh, and that would be the last bedroom on the bottom of the page.
Pattern overload. My eyes hurt.
i don't know why, but it looks a bit cheesy to me. I'm a big fan of baroque and modern baroque, so I think she should have pushed it to the ends; what she did instead was try to match "rich" elements with more superficial "everyday" tones, and something just doesn't feel right...
Wow, I would hug each room if I could.
The bathroom and second bedroom are to die for.
I like the idea of pattern on pattern and exoticism in Paris, but the execution appears a bit underplayed, IMO. Aside from the first pic, the colour palette throughout the rooms based on washy salmon pinks and oranges just doesn't feel 'rich' to me, despite the obviously lavish decor budget. Indian and Turkish colours should be saturated, deep, spicy, and vibrant -- maybe it's the photography making the colours chosen here look non-committal and compromise-y.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. I LOVE this style, so warm and welcoming, and looooooooove those bathroom mirrors. *squeals*
What type screen is that behind the chocolate sofa?
