I love fabrics, these small pockets of colour and texture can make a house a home. When house hunting, I found it so frustrating and sad that the majority of houses that had recently been 'done up' were completely void of colour beyond beige & dark brown (usually a leather sofa). I am not sure if this is the real estate agents advising sellers to make houses as neutral as possible so prospective buyers are able to comprehend what their furniture & personal touches will like in the space, or whether we are just slowly becoming scared of using colour.
During my times at various fabric houses, I have been rather stunned that many decorators would come in and start colour matching various shades of beige - & to be daring occasionally caramel. While I do not want to dismiss the usefulness & place these neutrals have in the home, it is a shame that they are used to the detriment of other colours. Here are a few fabrics that I have picked up recently that have been particularly beautiful. Enjoy!
