Whimsical Spring
June 3, 2010
If you want your space to look bolder and brighter, you are in luck! All over the design world fabrics have become bolder, brighter and more whimsical than ever! We are still using safe tones including browns and blacks. But we are adding more color to our looks with pops of greens or blues. Oranges and reds have certainly remained strong as well. There is something for everyone with the new fabric and style trends. Patterns combine new twists on the classic and paisley themes as well as a bold mix of botanicals.
Furniture manufacturers are offering many pieces with contrast welts, nailheads and Swarovski crystals to add a little pizazz. It only takes one little bit of bling to create interest in a space.
There is still quite a lot of white and ivory out there especially at the higher end. And the masculine look of tweed on sofas and chairs offer a strong base for adding any added pop.
Don’t forget that many of these fabrics and styles look amazing in window treatments. Large patterns and strong colors flanking our windows make bold statements. Soft linens and flannels are providing our otherwise naked windows with warmth and texture.
Allow your designer to do what they do best…create fabulous spaces for your whimsical soul!
