Upholstery in Bold Prints

6.20.2010


I have always been a fan of large, boldly printed fabrics used to upholster furniture. When it comes to decorating my own home I have never chosen small prints. I guess I just like the statement that a large print makes, and I think that they have more of a modern feel than small print fabrics. In recent years I have definitely seen a trend towards these big and bold patterns.

I am obsessed with the above fabric!!! It's called Macao from China Seas and I have it in dark brown, which I like even better than the green. I can't wait til I figure out what to use it for!

I first saw Jason and John's home on Apartment Therapy and then discovered their interior design firm. Their home actually has so much visual interest that Apartment Therapy did a three-part installment on it! I think that the pictures speak for themselves. I love their bolder-than-bold use of color and pattern on top of pattern on top of pattern. They somehow make it work and look impeccable! They also seem to mix several styles seamlessly such as hollywood regency, palm springs and chinoiserie, among others. I found all of these photos either on their website or on Apartment Therapy.
