Fabrics
Texture, weave, luxury of hand, and light
reflection are of utmost importance in the
selection of fabrics and other textiles.
Tone on tone damask is a staple for the
opulent living room. Upholstering a sofa
or a pair of matching chairs in damask
can set the tone for a living area, with
embroidered or contrasting fabric fringed

pillows as accents. Solid and cut velvet
are a great choice for less formal areas.
Tapestry fabrics also are wonderful
choices. Fringe and trims can be added
to most any pillow, or even as a skirt on
a chair or sofa. Small textured geometric
patterns can be used to complete
the furnishings.
Quilted silks are a favourite for the
bedroom, as are brocades, velvets and
tapestry fabrics. Large floral prints on

windows are also quite lovely. Simple
coverlets or duvets with a restrained
number of pillows, or large neckrolls at the head are preferable to the
massive pillow stacks more common in
today’s bedroom.
Large tapestries hung on the walls are
simple way to add elegant rich and regal
décor to a space. Available in many
themes and weaves they work with
all styles.
