The fluid, organic shapes formed by shibori lend an organic look to the textile, with saturated shades of navy and indigo blues that lift any space. Variety can easily be added with an addition of one or more shades of blue in varying depths of colour. Moreover, shibori goes well with soft furnishings all over the house including blankets, cushions, and rugs.

Every pattern and every shade of indigo create a motif that fits well into every space. The watercolour trend has been making a splash in interiors for a while, and shibori takes this to the next level whilst making the space boho-chic. One of the most interesting aspects of the popular trend is its potential for variety: Because of the handmade nature of true shibori, the tonal diversity is so broad that no two prints are alike, and the patterns are further reaching.

Shibori is most often carried out on linen, silk, wool or cotton, but recently the print has made its way into the wallpaper as well. Digitally printed deep indigo shibori is as stunning on walls as its cloth counterparts. Indigo is a colour which has been around for centuries and yet continues to make a bold statement till date.

When a colour survives so many centuries, you know it is a great way to establish the look of any space without getting tiring over time. Along with shibori prints, you can anchor your living room or bedroom with a deep indigo sofa set or indigo backboard for your bed.
Gold and silver metal accents make a great pairing with shibori. For a more laid-back look, go with silver and if you want to associate a luxe feel, choose gold with accents of shibori around the space. Whatever your interior be, shibori can work for you: the spectrum of indigo blues is perfect even with natural fibers, leather, timber, and stone.

Whether you want to use indigo as a baseline neutral feature or in an eye-catching shibori textile, it can help you take any room to the next level. Additionally, shibori is relatively easy to DIY, which is possibly why this trend attracts us. There are different methods to dye shibori textiles. You can select the method used based on both your desired pattern and the type of fabric you choose. For a traditional look, use solid white fabric. Only natural fibers like cotton, linen, silk, and wool will absorb the dye. Each method of shibori is meant to work in harmony with the type of fabric selected – and the upside is each pattern created is unique.

Upholstery is probably the most obvious way to switch up your interiors. Now, however, accessories are picking up in the form of wall hangings, lamps, curtains – so there a few bold choices to be made if you choose. In addition, placemats, table runners and even printed chinaware can all be incorporated for a subtle addition of this trend to your dining area.
