A Momentous Occasion, Making a Marimekko Christmas

The marvelous Christmas mantle below from skimbacohome.com is adorned in Marimekko’s expressive Hetkiä print to meld modern design with classic holiday decor. Finnish for “Moment”, this energetic line drawing by Maija Louekari captures a bustling cityscape and celebrates the beauty of being in a specific place or time. Using a repeat of Hetkiä fabric from FinnStyle.com, blogger Katja Presnal achieved this festive floor to ceiling look and made a impressive holiday moment all her own. Although Presnal worries that the print may not work cohesively with her Christmas décor, I can happily assure her that it adds unexpected glamour that is both stunningly beautiful and freshly unique. Nice work!
