I have a lounge completely separated from the kitchen but if the doors open between the two you’d see the orla kiely curtains if that makes sense. I like them, they match the paint, they are staying. I was thinking of buying the matching rug to kinda pull the room together.
And then I got to thinking I might buy the blinds in the same stem pattern but a different colour for the kitchen ... is that too much ?

Yes

2 out of 3 acceptable if matching is your thing - think your idea of the curtains and blinds could work well but the rug would be too much. I would pick a colour from the curtains and use that for the rug.
I wouldn't give 2 tosses about whether OK is out now - if you like it, do it!

I think it would be too much to use it for blinds, curtains and rug.
I'd just pick one personally.

Orla Kiely in general is out. The only people who still have it are the types who think it’s pronounced Keeley.

Yes it's too much, pick s colour and go with that to blend in.

And yes that craze is pretty much over, but it does t matter if you like it. But it does feel like you'd have too much of it.

Nowisthemonthofmaying · 21/01/2020 08:54

How do you pronounce it, out of interest?

Nomorechips · 21/01/2020 08:56

Yeah I'd like to know to please!

PootleandPosey · 21/01/2020 08:56

It’s Kylie iirc

CalamityJune · 21/01/2020 08:57

Blind, yes. Rug, no.

Youngatheart00 · 21/01/2020 08:59

I think she went bust?

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 21/01/2020 09:43

Curtains and blinds fine, lose the rug.

Also, if you like them, it really doesn't matter whether they are "in" or not.

I like the rug more than the blinds for the kitchen tbh.

I think I might go with Emma Bridgewater dots for the kitchen blinds instead. I know I’m about 10 years behind but I really don’t like all this industrial fashion stuff

No, don't do the dots either! Get on Pinterest for some inspiration

John Lewis have just brought out an Orla Kiely range so I wouldn't say it's out. Her prints are retro inspired anyway so they aren't meant to be height of current modern, just a distinctive style. If you love it go for it. If you've got Instagram search for Orla Kiely home and there's loads of ideas

The furniture is lovely. Is that still made. I wouldnt go for blinds though.

Atalune · 28/01/2020 23:10

Might be too much.

What about having the curtains stay the same then a rug in complimentary colours that pulls it together.

Homes that look chic are not so matchy matchy.

MadamShazam · 31/01/2020 09:56

Seriously, who cares if Orla Keily is in or out?? If you like it, get it!!

Manchestermanchester · 01/02/2020 13:48

Do whatever you like. Your home, your money

TheCrowFromBelow · 01/02/2020 13:55

As above! Who cares what anyone else thinks if you like it?
