The book The House That Pinterest Built not only gave us a peek inside Diane Keaton’s most personal space—her home—but it also reminded us just how passionate she is about design. That passion began when she was only a child, as growing up in her house in Santa Ana, Calif., with her family had a profound effect on her. In her latest tome, Saved: My Picture World, Diane gives us a creative chronicle of her iconic career along with photos of the curious kind that she’s found or taken over the years. It felt natural to create a fabric line with Diane where her career and family life both served as muse. The result is a textile collection as layered and textured as the memories that inspired it.

Below, discover three monochromatic color palettes that show how all of these fabrics can live together: black and white, cream, and brown, and just a touch of olive portrayed through thick wools, lustrous and luxurious mohairs, and light linen sheers. Each one is classic, fashionable, and full of personality…just like Diane.

 

GRAY MATTER

Diane can rock a good black-and-white color story. That’s why our first look brings together light gray mohairs, textured charcoal prints and ivory sheers. They’re pictured here with a dose of daring red courtesy one of the avant-garde images from Diane’s new book, Saved: My Picture World.

 

"Oh, God, whatta, whatta dumb thing to say, right? I mean, you say it, ‘You play well,’ and then right away I have to say, ‘you play well.’ Oh, oh, God, Annie. Well, oh well, la-di-da, la-di-da, la-la. Yeah."

—DIANE KEATON AS ANNIE HALL IN ANNIE HALL

CREAM OF THE CROP

Camel, caramel, taupe, and tan. This sandy palette is easy on the eyes and conjures images of Diane's character Erica Barry typing away on her next play from her Hamptons beach house in "Something's Gotta Give."

 

“Well I guess I'm just a turtleneck kind of gal.”

GREEN WITH ENVY

With a little help from Diane Keaton’s The House That Pinterest Built, an earthy palette of olives, creams, and browns creates a Mother Nature-inspired curation of hues just bold enough to punch up your neutrals but understated enough to know when to be quiet on set.

 

“God couldn't be everywhere so that is why he invented mothers.”

—DIANE KEATON AS DAPHNE WILDER, BECAUSE I SAID SO
