everything looks better in india

…It helps, of course, if “everything” is the latest and greatest from Anthropologie’s delish summer collection. But wouldn’t it be amazing to produce a photoshoot inside one of Jaipur’s incredibly ornate palaces? I mean check out those columns! And ooh, that intricate painted plaster! It’s a testament to Anthropologie’s wares that they actually manage to hold their own in such stunning surroundings.

must have: umbra chirp finials

picture 21 must have: umbra chirp finials

It’s a shame that drapes get all the attention, when there’s so much gorgeous drapery hardware out there that’s vying for the spotlight. New from Umbra is this adorable little fella, a finial that acts as a checklist of on-trend elements: silhouettes, birds and quirky hardware. What’s more, this piece is part of Umbra’s “Meli-Melo” mix-and-match drapery program, that allows you to choose a rod, add a pair of finials and create your own custom drapery combination. 

Chirp 3.5-by-5″ finial set in black high gloss

Price: $19 per pair

Available at: Umbra Concept Store, Toronto, 416-599-0088; 800-387-5122

Barbara Barry’s new Enduring Elegance home fabric collection for Kravet Contract reflects her signature style – sensible, understated chic in a soothing palette –  in all its glory. I admire how Barbara constantly finds inspiration and beauty in the everyday items around her, whether it’s a pair of shears or a paperweight. And as these are contract fabrics, it means they’ll withstand the test of time – ideal for high-traffic areas in the home.
