Blissliving Home Readies Fall Winter 2010 Collection

June 28, 2010 - PRLog -- This fall, Blissliving Home, the interior lifestyle brand for the stylish consumer seeking modern design with a global influence, invites you to unlock the mysteries of Shangri-La by exploring the richness of an exotic color palette and luxurious textures found only in a hidden paradise. This new collection brings beauty and boldness to the table - literally, with the introduction of our new Samsara Table Linens.  Yet no matter how captivating the design and high quality the materials, this Fall Winter 2010 collection would not be complete without giving back, which is why Blissliving Home http://www.blisslivinghome.com has partnered globally in the creation of the new, Vital Voices Collection, which means uplifting the lives of many Cambodian artisans.  Inspired by a mythical Himalayan hideaway of peace and harmony, our trove of richly colored textiles, scented candles and exquisite bedding is made to adorn your secret paradise - and to give that treasure to someone else.

Shangri-La
Leaving Lost Horizons, the mysteries of this secret paradise come home

For our modern take on mythical Shangri-La, we looked to the mysterious Himalayas. Rich colors of a Tibetan prayer wheel, a nomad's rugged textiles and handcrafted details harmonize with polished prints, bold embroidery and luxurious textures. The yin-yang of our new collection will satisfy your yearning for a paradisial at-home refuge designed for out-of-this-world peace and tranquility.

“After running to the temple with the sound of bells ringing in my ears, I was so taken by the sight—and lack of oxygen—that I leaned on the temple’s large wooden door, noting the yellow walls touching red, clay roofs against turquoise sky, and the vivid, sienna colored robes worn by the monks preparing for their afternoon prayer,” says Mei Xu, Creator & CEO of Blissliving Home, describing the color story that inspired this collection. “The green and untouched paradise we hiked and the colorful, ethnically chic streets we strolled came together in my mind to finally paint a full picture of Shangri-La.”  This exotic serenity, accompanied by the beautiful designs that accentuate those Tibetan Buddhist temples is what is captured in the Shangri-La collection—allowing paradise to come home.

The Shangri-La Reversible Duvet Set features a bold, oversized medallion motif on one side with a pattern of white medallions against the stormy grey of the Himalayan Alps as the reverse. Complimenting the colorful duvet, the Machen Sheet Set provides the serenity and comfort of cotton sateen, while the Argo Medallion Reversible Throw made of a fine bamboo/cashmere knit also plays karma chameleon.  Stamped as the classic stand-by of every destination collection, the Shangri-La Passport Pillow acts as the perfect souvenir of transcendent travel to paradise, but don’t forget other finishing touches like the new Nirvana Body Pillow, which stretches across in 54 inches of quilted coral-colored comfort. The Nirvana Coverlet Set features the same infusion of color with intricate needlework on a larger scale. Textural touches like the Om Pillow and Katmandu Pillow, made of raw Indian silk, add peace and harmony in a more natural palette. Another natural beauty, the Harmony Comforter Set, features the same pattern on the storm grey reverse of the Shangri-La Duvet Set. A perfect match to the colorful face of our Shangri-La duvet set, and a resplendent addition to the bathroom, the Shangri-La Shower Curtain makes quite a splash in this utopian sanctuary.  In the same 300 thread count cotton sateen, the Harmony Shower Curtain also provides an elegant backdrop for your early morning showering song. The fact that it also perfectly matches the storm grey side of our Shangri-La Duvet Set is just good karma.

Samsara Table Linens
Bring style to the table for special celebrations or serene dinners for two.

Blissliving Home’s first-ever table linens bring a global touch to holiday meals. Modern with an artisan’s touch, the traditional soft-cotton embroidery is borrowed from our Samsara decorative pillows.

The runner, which is embroidered down the center, is made to fit the table crosswise and cleverly functions as placemats for two. The square placemats, (sold in sets of four), are framed in embroidery with matching cotton twill backing.  Matching dyed linen napkins feature a delicate hemstitched border.

Best of all, every item ready to adorn your dinner table is available in two colorways: a multicolor Shangri-La palette of turquoise, coral and yellow ochre on storm grey linen, or an elegant, neutral palette of white embroidery on warm grey linen.

Vital Voices Global Partnership
Designing with a heart goes a long distance—halfway across the globe, in fact.

An extraordinary weeklong trip across Cambodia to observe the Vital Voices’ Handicraft Product & Business Development team at work inspired the Vital Voices Collection http://vitalvoices.org/global/blissliving-home-launches-v.... Our delicately handmade bird and fruit tins are filled with Rice Flower Vanilla fragranced soy wax to make exquisite home accents or gifts.

Each tin is beautifully presented in a handmade, woven box tied with a Blissliving Home ribbon. The unique Rice Flower Vanilla fragrance is a well-balanced combination of luminous rice blossom, warm shea and vanilla bean wrapped in sparkling bergamot and velvety coconut, which are then irresistibly warmed by delicate notes of golden amber and musk.

Blissliving Home is proud that our purchase of these tins through Vital Voices Global Partnership http://vitalvoices.org/ benefits Rehab Craft Cambodia http://www.camnet.com.kh/rehabcraft/, an organization that trains and employs people with disabilities, many of which are the result of landmines, and helps sustain business opportunities based on traditional crafts. It is an unrivaled feeling knowing that these items have the potential to uplift the lives of so many artisans, their families, and the entire community.

The Blissliving Home Fall Winter 2010 collection will be available for purchase through our online boutique www.blisslivinghome.com, mail catalog, and select premium retailers around the globe starting this August.
