Our new collection of gorgeous Blinds & Curtains in partnership with the London design studio Liberty, explores a dynamic world of pattern and colour. These stunning fabrics beautifully combine heritage and contemporary design, with each print being thoughtfully reworked exclusively for this collection.
In this Q&A, Pere Bruach, Liberty Design Manager, tells us about the inspiration behind this charming collection.
Which design do you think best represents Liberty in this collaboration?
The collaboration strongly reflects some of the most representative handwriting and design styles that Liberty is known for. From the Arts and Crafts-style to the Tree of Life and playful conversationals to 1930s-inspired ditsy florals. Inspired by fragments discovered in the Liberty archive from the ’30s and ’70s, Glen Lyon and Wharfedale‘s dense nostalgic florals are reminiscent of characteristics seen in Liberty’s timely aesthetic.
Are there any Liberty designs that fit well with current interior trends?
As part of the collaboration, we worked closely with our interiors design team to put together a varied collection of some of our most iconic, instantly recognisable designs. From ornate ’60s-inspired designs to hand-painted designs that feature a galaxy of swirling stars, we have explored a variety of scales and patterns in a colour palette crafted specifically for Blinds 2go.
Do you have a favourite design from this collection?
Elm House’s soft, watercolour painting depicts a selection of primulas and fritillaries. Favoured for its intricately detailed, interwoven flora and foliage, the outcome is a swirling Arts and Crafts-style print.
What was the main inspiration behind this new collection of patterned blinds and curtains?
As part of the design house’s 150th year anniversary, the Blinds 2go x Liberty collection draws on our renowned 60,000-strong archive. Taking inspiration from the different design pillars that are inherent to all that Liberty stands for, this collaboration explores exquisite designs, expert craftsmanship, and brilliant storytelling.
Can you describe the collection in 3 words?
Colour, pattern, and craftsmanship.
How does this collection reflect Liberty’s brand style?
Liberty treasures and celebrates designs from an array of artistic movements, styles, and decades, interpreted for modern storytelling. Eleni takes inspiration from the design house’s rich legacy of Arts and Crafts-style designs, whereas Shepherdly Meadow reimagines the flowers that are known to adorn the Regent Street entrance to the Liberty flagship store into an elegant paisley-style botanical. Prospect Road is a revival of traditional Art Nouveau landscape prints and Christelle is influenced by the beautiful Indian Chintzes that were first brought to Europe in the 17th century.
If you could see the collection being used in any setting or interior, what would be your dream scenario?
For Blinds 2go x Liberty, there is a blind or curtain for every room in the home. Adelajda‘s vibrancy and Quey Two‘s playfulness are perfect for children’s rooms or a nursery. Forbidden Fruit is ideal for your living room choice with its striking palette, whereas Mitsi Shadow‘s dainty blossom design is a great way to elegantly transform your interiors.
How do you hope this collection will influence future trends in home décor and window treatments?
Our founder, Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty, introduced the influential Art Colours collection that later came to be known as the Liberty Colours. This fabric series consisted of a range of subtle silk dyes which proved extremely popular within the Aesthetic movement and continue to be a great source of inspiration today. The study of colour is a very important aspect of the design process, and we hope that the prints and colour stories discovered in this collaboration influence future interior design trends.
