Named after a Persian Princess, Soraya is a delicate Chinoiserie with sincere reflections of Asian styled art. The sketch-like brush strokes of this soft scene are simple yet detailed, allowing the floral vines to ascend. Accented by the boldly geometric chenille of Bernard , this masculine woven exacts order and unity with each element.

Felicia is an emblematic print upon textured non-woven paper with drawn out lines that imply movement. Combining several of today’s trends of metallics and ikats, while being influenced by traditional designs and balance, Felicia is a vivacious accent print available in coordinated colors.

Inspired by a tapestry dating back several centuries, Ting Yuan represents a playful pastoral scene. Named after the Japanese phrase for “pretty garden,” Ting Yuan illustrates this through an infusion of many influences with distinctly modern flourishes. The meandering lines of Anafi wovens suggest infinity and unity, a vital element in your room design. Blends of Egyptian Cotton in this geometric print represent strength and endurance, as elements of the room unite to create extreme movement and fluidity.

East Gate is a geometric visual experience hand-printed upon grasscloth. With a double textured effect, the Gazebo trellis design floats upon a neutral canvas. A romantic basketweave of textiles, Rhapsody blends soft yet durable elements of chenille to create a continuous backdrop of luxury and comfort.

Inspired by a modern piece of art, but adapted to reflect worldly trends, Jakarta and Ivana are an invigorating set of coordinates, balancing each other out by scale and determination. Illustrating qualities of strength and femininity, upon a medallion like motif, the complimentary color paths embolden this very dynamic design.

Kirkwood is a fantastical Jacobean design in harmoniously blended colors, creating a vivid and stimulating backdrop. Derived from an English embroidery, this bold print is antique yet contemporary with abstract embellishments enriching both the wallcovering and fabric. Steeped in the color palette of Shangri-La, Malay Ikat is a playful, shimmering fabric that accents the movement of every pattern throughout.

Cordoba Damask merges clear influences from Moorish designs and architecture, incorporating several Spanish shapes within the grand scale damask. This ikat-like print translates well with other dramatic prints as a striking combination of ethereal backgrounds and mystical metallic motifs.

Buds features gracefully ascending braches, dotted with the most delicate of flower petals. The open and airy blossoms are soft and sophisticated in an expressive palette with pops of metallic.

Combining feminine and rustic charms, Anita Damask is subtle and sultry with burnished metallics, soft neutrals, and Indian influenced shapes. The clean lines upon sleek wallcoverings and natural linens will enrich and soften your enrivon, as this historic art form is reimagined with a more organic feel.

Kawazu was distinctly influenced by Japanese shapes of abstract floral designs, creating height with rhythmic clusters in subtle, chic metallics. Non-woven paper provides a substantial canvas upon which the trellis design leaps, displaying symbols of vitality and harmony.

Distinctly English and modern, Hatton is an unexpected tone-on-tone blend with Ikat-like Jacobean themes. The thoroughly stylized shape is both modern and natural, as two cultural motifs are fused with rhythmic striations in thoughtful combinations of colors. Thibaut’s Suzani pays homage to traditional forms of embroidery by reinventing this tribal textile with sultry, modern flair. A versatile addition to your design objective, the stitched chenille floral pattern is available in bold citron, serene blush, and a trendy coral and green combination.  Devon is a grand and distinguished print, featuring a scene of stately birds and lush peonies in harmony.  Have a question or need a quote submit your request to us.   For faster service please call us at 818-988-9732.

A design job is a major undertaking that requires attention to a wide variety of details to ensure an aesthetically pleasing experience. As one examines the building blocks of the process, they are met with the need for quality drapery and upholstery fabrics. These serve both to add comfort to the space and create a positive first impression for your guests.

Basic questions to ask yourself as you plan include;

*Where am I starting in the decoration of this space?
*What types of materials should I use for upholstery fabrics or drapery fabrics?
*What color scheme will work in this space without making it overbearing?

We recommend that you start with a base of neutral colors for the room. This will give it balance and provide you with a wide array of choices should you wish to alter the style of the room later. Neutral colors will allow you to use accessories and different furnishings to really accentuate the room and make it come alive. You hem yourself into a particular style by opting for a bold base color. It can work, but your tastes may change down the road or you may wish to simply have something new. A base neutral color will make change easier down the road.

It is quite easy to assemble a board with the color palette of paint and fabric samples that interest you. This lets you get an actual look at how the different colors compliment and work together; or not, as the case may be. Taking some pictures out of design magazines of furnishings you’d like to use and laying them with the samples can be a great way to get a mental image of the space. This can also be an excellent way to jog new ideas from your mind with the visual representation before you. We are able to offer several samples of products with just a request for you to build your design board and find what works for you.

One can save a decent amount of money on their design budget by shopping for discount drapery fabrics and discount upholstery fabrics online. Online showrooms such as Duralee, Kasmir, Kravet, Robert Allen, Romo, and Highland Court offer a tremendous selection of patterns. Duralee fabrics have expanded and adapted for well over fifty years. It is easy to find a variety with such showrooms at your disposal.

You will want to look for a few different fabric choices for the project. They should have different textures and designs to create a unique experience that belongs to the space.

Upholstery fabrics come in a wide variety of selections and colors. Using discount upholstery fabrics will allow you to put more money into your furnishings. Designer’s Guild offers a great selection in polyester, woven upholstery fabric, chenille, or velvet and contract upholstery.

Drapery fabric offers a few different choices in fine cloth as well. Linen, cotton, Thai silk, or silk dupioni all offer a variety of solutions for decorating a space. If you are looking to capture a dramatic look for the space, silk and linen fabrics can offer bright colors. Lined velvet and chenille can help darken a room if it is needed for the space.
