Choosing fabrics for a few projects makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.  It inspires creativity for me in so many ways.  Fabrics can also be the starting point for a room’s theme, like Global chic, nautical nuance, and even tropical paradise.

Here’s a look at some fabrics I’ve been working with

1.   These prints could make a bold statement for:

  • pillows on a sofa or chair
  • reupholstering an accent chair
  • covering an ottoman
  • drapery panels

2.  The colors in this piece would make a great color story for a room.  Imagine covering the walls in a muted yellow, using deep walnut for your casegoods and accessorizing in the blue/green tones.

3. This combination was used for a beautiful living room ensemble.

The neutral chevron print (sofa) and 2 chairs (linen blue stripe) created a nice conversation area.

And the accents tied the look together. Ottoman (bold tangerine velvet) and bold pillows (blue, orange,neutral chevron print)

4. Like the fabric above, this could be a nice combination for a sofa (solid) and chair (print).  You can even have flat fold roman shades custom made in the print to add character to your windows.

5. These awesome fabric choices are just waiting in the wings to make a room sing! I wonder what themes come to mind, when you look at fabrics?

Do you prefer bold or subtle fabrics?

Do you need help getting  a jump start on a project?

Does the process seem a bit overwhelming?
