Okay, I just have to say it: the new Marimekko Tiara collection that just arrived at Kleuroptafel has me completely captivated. And believe me, once you see these gorgeous items, you'll immediately understand why!
Tiara: When nature takes over your dishes
Tiara means "crown" in Finnish—and what an apt name! This design is truly Mother Nature's crowning achievement. Imagine: playful branches merrily creeping across your plates, leaves dancing on your favorite mug, and flowers popping up wherever you least expect them. It's as if your garden decided to join you at your table!
Colors that make you happy
You know how it is: some patterns are so busy they give you a headache. Not with Tiara! This collection does something clever: it starts with a calm base of white and pale yellow (ahh, so zen), and adds just the right amount of color:
- Green that reminds you of a spring morning
- Orange for when you need a hug in color form
- Blue that is so calm it instantly relaxes you
- Yellow because who doesn't like yellow?
It's as if someone has plucked all the most beautiful colors from nature and mixed them just right. No cacophony, but pure harmony!
From breakfast to dinner: Tiara is involved in everything
The beauty of this collection? It's incredibly versatile! Want to spice up your breakfast? Tiara plates! Fancy a cozy coffee chat? Tiara mugs! And those fabrics... oh, those fabrics! Perfect for pillows your friends will be jealous of, or curtains that instantly transform your room.
The funny thing is, even your Aunt Gerda (you know, the one who always says Marimekko is "a bit too much") will probably fall for this pattern. It's Marimekko at its most accessible—as if the design has been to the hairdresser for a more casual look.
Plot twist: this design already has a story
Here's the kicker: Tiara isn't exactly a newcomer! The pattern was conceived back in 2014, got a makeover in 2015, and now it's back as a refined, adult version of itself. A bit like all of us—only prettier and without the awkward teenage phase.
Why You're (Probably) Already in Love
Dutch interior design enthusiasts are smart: you want beautiful things that are also practical. Tiara understands that completely. It's tableware you use every day, but it also functions as art. And that natural theme? We love it here in the Netherlands—we love greenery, the outdoors, everything that reminds us of nature (especially when it's indoors and we stay dry).
How to Style a Tiara Like a Pro (But More Fun)
The Natural Rebel : Mix your tiara with raw wood and vintage linen. It's like you're a boho princess who just happens to have good taste.
The Seasonal Chameleon : Spring? Add a bunch of tulips. Fall? Add some warm candles. Tiara adapts like a colorful chameleon.
The Color Thief : Pick up that beautiful green-orange-blue combination and echo it in a pillow here, a vase there. This creates a story throughout your home.
The Minimalist Maximalist : Let the tiara be the star against a calm backdrop. Sometimes less is more—except when it comes to this pattern, where a little bit of everything is perfectly acceptable.
The Marimekko Tiara collection is essentially a daily reminder that life is more beautiful with a little color, pattern, and playfulness. And honestly? We could all use that. Come see it for yourself at Kleuroptafel—you'll see I'm right!
