I have to say, after my visit to the High Point Furnishings and Accessory Market last week, my suspicions have been confirmed…imperfections are perfect.


Soft comfort on display

The draw of home fashion will continue to move toward reusing items in new ways. Natural fabrics (that are made using more sustainable methods) are dancing into the mix, manipulated into a tailored/organized look with a bold sense of nothingness in the color department. Rusty parts of exhausted items are next to newly spun silk. The once only traditional look of cut crystal is encompassed and surrounded by iron. The lines have been changed and redrawn.


Reuse....

It is exciting as always to see what product designers dream up. Out of necessity pops wonderfulness and I am loving it! Don’t get me wrong though, I could never move away from color and the richness of classic traditional design or the striking forms of contemporary design that leave me wanting more, but this is a fun and comfortable look. It brings peace to the mind and hope to the heart. Whether or not you like this new direction, the reason it is here though (reduce, reuse, recycle), is here to stay.

A well of comfortable colors.

You HAVE to love these…. I about melted when I found them.
There is nothing like the amazing look of a gorgeous fabric but don’t forget the importance of a soft and rich hand. The HAND of a fabric is how it feels to you, how it drapes. What do you think of these? For you, what would you indulge in? Drapes? Bedspread? Accent pillows? How about an evening gown? Why not!?

I found these amazing fabrics at the High Point Furniture and Accessory Market and wanted to show you. The embroidery, beading, layering and details on these are quite handsome and, well, fab!



In the right spaces with the right applications, these fabrics could be really incredible and be such a great detail.
