To me, choosing fabric for a space is the most fun part of
putting a room together. There is
something about mixing colours, textures and trims and making it work that always
thrills me. I have had clients that just
can’t STAND looking at fabric samples and they beg me to just choose for them
so they don’t have to deal with that “boring headache” – fun for me!
I have put together a few images of prints that I think are
VERY fun (and maybe a little out there) in the hopes of changing your minds in
regards to fabric.
Here we go!
This one makes my sweet tooth go crazy. Suitably entitled 'Gourmandise', this Pierre Frey design is lovely and adorable and makes me feel like I'm standing in a french pastry shop trying to decide what to order (a daily occurrence in my life much to the chagrin of my scale!)
A sweet take on the mad hatters tea party, this creation entitled 'Ming in Red' and also by Pierre Frey, would be so much fun on cushions or curtains in a salon or tea room!
This Nobilis design from their 'Cote Ouest' collection is so fun and young. It would be such a great addition to a girl's bedroom, or a funky extra pop of fun in a young professional's flat.
When I heard a fabric at Pierre Frey was being named 'Cape Cod' I flew over there, as I adore everything from that gorgeous part of Massachusetts - and I wasn't let down! This would give any seaside summer home a beautiful taste of their surroundings for the interior.
This one grabs me, because I can't get over how much this looks like a photograph! Digital textile printing has come a long way in the last few years and this piece is a great testament to that. So different to anything I've seen before.
I ADORE this. Gorgeous porcelain, macarons, candies - who thought of this for a fabric design? So cute and fun, it would add whimsy to any space.
This looks more like a 19th century lithograph then a fabric design. With the sheet music and frames, it would be stunning in a music room or study.
I hope with this quick introduction into a different type of fabric design, you have all become a tad bit more interested in what's out there for textiles. Fabric design has come leaps and bounds in the last couple of decades. It doesn't all look like your grandmother's curtains anymore!
