Fabrics

Now that spring has finally arrived, I find myself really drawn to fresh, new styles.

Now that spring has finally arrived, I find myself really drawn to fresh, new styles.  My energy is focused on finding inspiring things no one else has, like fabrics that are totally not common styles from typical vendors.  Bespoke items that no one will walk into a room, look at, and say, “I have that same fabric on my pillows,” is the kind of look I love.

Choosing fabric is an integral part of what I do as a designer.  Window treatments, pillows, and upholstery are essential elements of a space, providing opportunities to add color and texture.  Fabrics let us explore creativity and embellish with unique details.

When choosing fabric, it is very important to be mindful of lifestyle when selecting fabrics.  Homes with children and pets should have fabric that is more durable and easy to clean.   Making wise choices is essential.  You wouldn’t want something delicate on a sofa, for example.  Having a source of versatile fabrics allows even the busiest, most active homes to enjoy beautiful fabrics in many different applications.
