“Where the Team Sleeps” is a new feature on the John Robshaw blog. Each month, a member of the JRT team will style their own unique bed and give us insight into their inspiration. This month we feature Jasmine Gordon, Logistics Manager at John Robshaw Textiles…
For me the ultimate relaxation is a vacation to the tropics, where brilliant colors and the dazzling Caribbean Ocean are front and center. When I think of the tropics, I envision vast stretches of powdery soft sand and warm sun rays bouncing off the aqua-blue sea. So, it was no surprise that I chose the Vina Quilt as the center piece to build around. The vibrant teal Hitch Jade sheets and the simplistic, Jade Stitched Euros are ideal additions, as the stitched flanges of the euros complement the aquamarine hues. I love to mix and match, so I was drawn to the large and boldly patterned Mali Euro Shams. For pops of color, I added vibrant pinks and purples. The abaca fabric, Poro Dec Pillow brings unique texture and the hand embroidered mirrors on the Primrose Dec Pillow, add an alluring reflective effect. I also selected the Pink Uzbek and Purple Burmese Silk pillows from our Souk collection. The radiant purple and hot pink silk threads really stand out against the sea of blue. The sun colored Clack bolster was a must-have for the corner ottoman. The deep eggplant color of the Baby Alpaca Throw from our Fall 2013 Collection, is eye-catching and its texture is so velvety soft it makes you want to melt into the blanket. Bringing all of these elements together, my very own tropical sanctuary was brought to life!
