A Touch of Hollywood

Sometimes when we think of great design we instantly assume it comes with a pretentious price tag. But thanks for the demand of beautifully-crafted home decor, there has been an outpour of well-known designers and celebrities creating more accessible home collections. The latest to join this list is Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton, whose passion for design motivated her to launch her tabletop and bedding collections K by Keaton. Both are quite beautiful, homey and reflect her distinctive, whimsical personality. The bedding is all about clean graphic patterns and a neutral palette of black, white and greys, whereas the tableware is simple and sturdy with a palette inspired by the heartland. In a way, they have that Scandinavian sensibility I'm crazy about.

I think your design style is pretty cool. I would call it modern retro.

The design is fabulous, but I think you've missed the obvious influence here. Rather than Scandinavian, I believe she's pulling a lot from Navajo culture. Several of the motifs (the wide white-striped pillow, the cross pillow, the whie & gray striped blanket) are classic Navajo motifs that appear in their blankets patterns. And the colors are very much reflective of the natural wools used in Navajo weavings. It would be interesting to find out more about her influences. But regardless of source, it's knockout work.
