If your bath is in need of a transformation, there’s no easier way to go about it than with the magic of hanging an exquisite, unique shower curtain.  With that in mind, I am so excited to introduce one of our newest prints, Vanilla Glacé!  As if this cottony, hand-printed shower curtain were dusted with dreams and powdered sugar, the bright white-on-white print will glimmer and shine as it hangs in your bath.  If you’re after a glamorous, fresh look in your bath, this one’s for you!

A Vanilla Glacé shower curtain will combine well with a range of rich colors, to allow you an elegant look that’s truly all yours. Consider this delectable calorie-free palette:  chocolate, caramel, latte, honey and vanilla cream! Any of these indulgent colors will pair perfectly with Vanilla Glacé.  Sweet!

Let’s take a look at some affordable ways to round out the Vanilla Glacé look in your bath.  (If you feel like a kid in a candy store as you look through these, you’re not alone!)

Bath Linens:  Towels and Mats

Bath towels are wonderful way to tie into a theme, either by using them as quick pops of color, or by using neutrals for a more muted look.  I like towel sets from Kohls (Smart Dry) and Target (Color Stay).  These are affordable, well made, and come in just the right colors.  Personally, I love white towels.  They embody a clean, spa-like look in a bath.  If you like a bit more color, you’ll like the “Chapman Tan” Color Stay towel.  This tan really reads as a gold, and would be a lovely complement to the gold filigree of Vanilla Glacé.

Bath mats are about as functional as you can get, but the right one will absolutely add to the mood in your space.  These should be made from natural fibers, and should seamlessly blend with the colors in your bath.  I chose bathmats from Restoration Hardware and Crate and Barrel because they are durable, will wash well, and complement our colors.

Window Curtains and Wall Decor

The bathroom is honestly my favorite room to decorate.  It’s small, not overwhelming, and can easily be treated in a very unique, customized way.  First, we’ll talk curtains.  Almost every bath has a window, and if it’s a full bath, you need a window treatment.  If your bathroom is larger, I recommend hanging a gorgeous, matching tab top cotton curtain from the Vanilla Glacé collection.  You’ll introduce an airy, elegant feel right away, and have plenty of room to play with the golds and bright whites as you continue to decorate.  In a smaller bath, I’d hang a cotton roman shade, like the one below from Pottery Barn.  I love the “Linen Straw” color, and the simple luxury of the roman shade will fit the theme you’re creating with Vanilla Glacé.

We also offer a valance in our Vanilla Glacé Collection, which can be just the touch your white and gold bath needs.  It will add a sprinkle of shimmer and light on its own, and will transform any other curtain it is layered with.

On to wall art…  Here is an easy-peasy (but gorgeous) DIY that any of you can reproduce for your own Vanilla Glacé bath!   A faux ironwork piece is made by spray painting a rubber door mat… can you believe it?  A full tutorial can be found by clicking on the picture.  If you’re just not inclined to DIY, perhaps the Pavlova Mirror below will suit you.  The antiqued patina on the glass fits right in with the ethereally romantic Vanilla Glacé bath.

Accessories and Scents

A few well chosen accessories and scents will tie everything together…  Choose clean whites with a touch of interest for accessories in this white and gold bath.  I love the “Gold Lip Bowl” from Up in the Air Somewhere – it’s as if it were made for Vanilla Glacé.  You’ll want to check out the full line of white and gold ceramics from this boutique.

West Elm has a simple, yet interesting set of bath accessories in “Honeycomb”, which work well here.  Undulating lines in the bright white forms almost mimic the ogee scrolling in our hand printed shower curtain!

Finally, build up the romance in the room with a heavenly natural vanilla candle from Lavanilla.  While your candle is flickering and filling the room a sensual aroma, spritz on a touch of Vanilla Perfume Oil from The Body Shop.  You have entered the world of Vanilla Glacé...

Today we are thrilled to announce our newest print – Vanilla Glacé 

Vanilla Glacé ~ White Gold Bedding, Curtains & Table Linens

For us every new launch is exciting and nerve racking at the same time.

We are excited because the launch brings to a culmination many months of hard work. The days spent thinking, sampling, iterating, discussing etc. flash past our minds, and there is a thrill in sitting back and seeing the finished product displayed on the site.

Nerve racking because of the uncertainity associated with the unknown. We can think and plan all we want, but whether or not the new print will be well  received is ultimately in your hands, our dear customer.

We will be grateful if you could take a few minutes to tell us what you think  by commenting below.

Thank you.

Blue and white – a classic combination that will always succeed at refreshing and energizing a space! That’s exactly what Allison did with Midnight Lotus’s deep blue and white floral table cloth. 

Allison from Teaneck, NJ: Dear Saffron Marigold, Thank you so much!!! I have struggled to find a round tablecloth and recently purchased one of yours and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! It pulls my living room/dining room together. Now… what curtains to get?? :) I’m thinking wedding day or the match to the tablecloth. Or the black and white…

I’m telling everyone I know about your beautiful high-quality products (I’m in marketing!) — I wish you the best of luck and can’t wait to buy more. Best, Allison

The floral print works well in this room with the garden space beyond and blurs the line between the inside and the outside. The glass block wall behind, which reminds me of an Asian shoji screen, enhances the spiritual Zen appeal of the lotus motif.

Use Midnight Lotus if either blue or white is your main color theme. It will renew, refresh and add a new dimension to your room.

Thank you Allison. We love the way the room looks.

Do leave us your comments, we’d love to know what you think too.

Read on to see how these Turkish Kilim inspired linens add a rich, sumptuous vibe to this bedroom.

Jessica from Bridgeport, CT:

“Hi, I wanted to write you to let you know how much I love your linens. They add a unique, inviting look to my apartment. I definitely plan on ordering more in the future and have recommended your site to others. Thank you!

I am sending photos of the curtains I have bought. I chose the Ruby Kilim curtains because of their deep red color. I just moved into a new apartment and I am trying to go for a Moroccan themed bedroom. I have a sliding glass door that leads out to my deck, that had ugly window panels on them. The Ruby Kilim curtains look way better than the window panels. They make my bedroom much more inviting. I love them!”

Jessica used longer length curtains so they puddle on the floor for a stylish opulent look.  Even with the light streaming in from behind, the ruby red, deep cream and grey-black colors add deep color and drama. I’d love to have a bedroom as exotic as this.

Ruby Kilim is a bold, dramatic, geometrical design that draws its inspiration from the famed Turkish Kilim rugs. Its incredibly rich palette of ruby red, deep cream and grey-black, contrasts handsomely to a striking and vivid effect.

It’s always fabulous to see how our linens are being used by our customers, so keep those pictures coming. Do leave us a comment to let us know what you thought of Jessica’s bedroom.

At Saffron Marigold we love to see how customers use our linens. This is how one of our customers has used Spice Route:

Rita from Fraser, MI, used the shower curtain in a small bath that she felt needed a little personality. In her words

The fabric is lovely and the colors are beautiful! Thank you again for the quality — it is a pleasure to use this every day.

As you can see from the picture she so generously shared with us, the bathroom has come alive with the shower curtain. Paired with gorgeous global ethnic accessories, the vibe is both chic and earthy at the same time. The dark brown of the frame and the tissue box pick up the brown in the print, and that art work is tailor made for the print. Wow, Rita – you have definitely added warm personality to the bath! Its beautiful!

Spice Route shower curtain

Spice Route – a print that is an explosion of wondrous colors evoking voyages of spice traders and the famed Silk Route. Cinnamon brown, turmeric yellow and imperial blue all jostle for attention within the floral filigree pattern, set against a deep red background.

Thank you Rita, for sending in your photos that we can share with others. Its thrilling for us to see what you have done with Spice Route.

Leave us a comment below letting us know what you think of the bathroom makeover. We’d love to know.

Expecting Moms are often just as excited about Mother’s Day as “experienced” Moms.  They’re busy daydreaming about life with the little one, and are most likely quite busy getting prepared for the big day.  May we suggest a gift combination for the new mom that includes either an indigo or rose accent pillow, along with a heavenly scented, organic body scrub or lotion.

One of our colorful, hand-printed euro sham is an ideal gift for the expecting mom.  She can anchor her nursery colors around these high quality cotton cases, and later, when she’s relaxing on the floor with baby, she’ll have a soft spot to snuggle.  Infused with wonderful memories, a linen like this could easily become an heirloom.

Of course, all expecting moms should be pampered a bit.  Almost nothing says this better than a top end lotion or scrub.  The Bella Des salt scrub will invigorate her, and show off her “glow”, while the hand creams from L’Occitaine will help her to weather all the extra hand washing she’ll soon be doing.
