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!

Credenza Madness

What is it about credenzas that makes me so happy? They just seem so glam, and can literally work in any space! They may be called credenzas, sideboards or buffets, but to me they are all one thing... fabulous!! It's practical to have one in the entryway, dining room, living room, office.... heck just have one in every room!

The ones at Room Service are exceptionally glam, but I'm honestly not in a position where I can drop a couple grand on a piece of furniture! They are beauties though....

Palm Beach Credenza

I do firmly believe however, that with a little imagination you could find a vintage credenza and make it into something like one of the ones above! New paint, hardware and possibly some molding could transform the right credenza into one that looks like it cost you a pretty penny! I have a quite a few other inspiring credenza photos as well....
