Orla was described by 'The Guardian' as "The Queen of Prints." As her designs have been used for a variety of objects, including kitchenware, stationery, furniture, wallpaper, and a range of citroen DS3 cars.
Orla Kiely mainly does block print as she is interested in the looks the prints makes on different fabric and textures mostly wallpaper, duvets and cushions.
These soft textures with calming floral prints will give a peaceful atmosphere and comfort to the room.
Pattern prints on textured fabric is Orla Kiely's type of style. Colour palette can range from a limited three colour print to several colours on another print, though all seem to sinc with each other. Earthy soft colours seem to fit the retro yet calming theme. Simple yet lovely patterns have made a brand for Orla Kiely with their retro floral look. Many have Orla's design's in their homes as they are popular and homey to the eye. I also find these designs nice and cute yet the colours aren't really to my liking but they could grow on you.
