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 just devoured this issue of Lonny, just as I do when each one comes out. I was mesmerized by the beautiful homes, especially these first three photos of Elizabeth Bauer's home. Her apartment just kills me. The lucite and brass coffee table, the color palette, the greek-key design roman blinds, the velvet Designer's Guild stripe on the sofa. LOVE!
