Paisley or Paisley pattern is a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Indian and Persian origin, similar to half of the Yin & Yang symbol. The pattern is sometimes called “Persian pickles” by American traditionalists, especially quilt makers, or “Welsh pears” in Welsh textiles as far back as 1888. Today paisley design patterns are used from whole walls to small accents to create harmonious interiors.

Above are some examples of how paisley patterns can be used in various colors for different pieces whether furniture or accessories. Below are some beautiful examples of today’s paisley design applications.
