Orla Kiely, Textile Designer, Shares Her Renovated London Terrace House In Dwell's September Issue (PHOTOS)

What do you get when you mix the "queen of print" with a lovely London terrace house? Take a peek at textile designer Orla Kiely's home, featured in Dwell's "Designers At Home" September issue and you'll find out.

The energetic interiors are an eclectic mix of midcentury finds accented by Kiely's bold palette and graphic motifs. White walls and ebony-colored salvaged floors showcase her art and furnishings.

Be brave with fewer statements," Kiely told Dwell. "Go for the big thing rather than lots of little things." We couldn't agree more.
