All the designers at Addison got a look at new fabrics today, and we couldn't help but "Oooo and Ahhh" when they were unfurled before our eyes. Linens, silks, irresistible velvets, pure cottons, soft wools, and blends in greys and light burgundy (don't even think mauve), luscious greens and of course Elaine's favorite chocolate browns. What's new is grey and burgundy in soft, rich, masculine but at the same time feminine plaids, linens rich in color but light as a whisper, silks with tiny threads of complementary colors and richly embroidered fabrics in classic motifs (see the photo!) and textured nubby blends in browns, greys, chocolates and black. Giant motifs in dramatic colors are making statements, and they are paired with just the right textures and tones to make any room a unique, comfortable, balanced space. One of the pleasures of design is familiarizing ourselves with new trends in colors and textures, cataloguing them in our memories so we have the perfect answer for whatever project we're working on...sofa, chair, chaise, pillow... Today it was fabric, tomorrow, we'll be looking into something else new and intruguing. We'll keep you posted!
