Kim Parker has been able to parlay her popular floral paintings into home style, as her unique artistic look is contagious to all that come across it. Parker has seen a fair amount of success and acclaim in the past several years. However, the real success may be rising up against the odds in the very competitive world of interior design— especially with no formal design training to speak of.

Parker left behind a promising career as a classical flutist and launched her home brand in 2001. Since then she has been on a steady rise of popularity and in high demand. Parker has worked with Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s and became a bestseller, the first designer brand to achieve bestseller status in the retailer’s bedding department. The Kim Parker Home Collection includes designer rugs, dinnerware, giftware, bedding, bath, fabrics, decorative pillows, stationery and wall art.

Parker’s style is stand-alone with vibrant signature colors that can make any drab room into a delightful garden. It is no surprise that Parker says, “Designing is a very joyful process for me. I love working with rich and exuberant hues, whether for a rug, a pillow, a dinner plate, bedding collection, or canvas. When I design anything, it’s a very organic and free exploration.”

Frida’s garden pillow retails for $180 at KimParker.tv, the Orange Dahlias print retails for $40 at Art.com, and the bestselling, iconic and design winning rug “Mums and Asters” starts at $2500 and is sold exclusively at The Rug Company in Los Angeles at 8202 Melrose Avenue.
