One word: GORGEOUS!!! I have been a huge fan of Tricia Guild for about 10 years now, and continue to find her use of bold, rich colors very inspiring and refreshing. This flagship store represents not only Tricia Guild's own designs, but also those of like minded designers and artisans. This was my second visit to the store, and it was just as magical as the first.
Sadly, I did not have much in my budget this time around for home goods, but I enjoyed looking at all of the goodies and imaging myself in alternate universe. One in which I would have rooms upon rooms to decorate, and Designers Guild would be first (and possibly only), stop for textiles, bath towels, and bedding.
Unbelievably romantic, incredibly ornate, wildly over-the-top, yet remarkably tasteful...this is where I imagine Marie Antoinette would have shopped if she'd had the chance.
Designers Guild is an eye-popping bevy of furniture, linens, wallpaper, and drapery. It's really worth a visit just to see how marvelously creative people can be when given carte blanche to so. Everything on offer here is so, so, *so* finely-detailed and well-made and beautiful - it's design execution at its pinnacle.
They carry the likes of Ralph Lauren Home and Jasper Conran - some designs of which are exclusive to the store. And they just recently launched their own line of fabrics and wallpapers under the name of "The Royal Collection." This line has supposedly been inspired by interiors found in the residences of the Royals - my goodness, it makes me want to see them!!!
I came here a couple of years ago when I was working on a TV home makeover show. On entering I was overwhelmed and excited by the vast array of colourful fabrics.
We bough various types of patterned fabric but as it's pretty pricey I have never bought any fabric for myself here or anything else for that matter. They also have a great selection of wallpaper, home accessories, bed and bath accessories and beautiful furniture. I would love to be able to afford to shop here.
It is like a rainbow exploded and splashed every inch of white walls in the building. When I first came to London that was one of the first shops I visited. I have kept on going and going for the past five years. I have never bought anything.
Tricia Guild, Founder of Designers Guild, has transcended interior fabrics in terms of colours and pattern. Fuchsia, turquoise, mint green and sky blue are just some of the hues you can experience. I am not a huge fan of flowers as pattern but there is something about their designs that without them they wouldn't work. They have somewhere in the region of 22 fabric collections were my favourite is the Ariana Collection. Mostly stripes and mostly exquisite. I have to admit I am quite clueless about prices, but I do know they have a specialized service were you can explain your needs and given you have the money, they'll create the entire interior of a room, or your house with their fabrics. Furthermore, they distribute other brands such as Ralph Lauren, Jasper Conran and William Yeoward.
Honestly, if you are interested in colour, pattern, textures and interiors it is the place to visit, but if you just happened to encounter this shop go inside just to be inspired!
