Favorite Flowers in Fabrics

Favorite flowers have the power to add a variety of moods to an interior from sweetness to sophistication to exoticism.

Blue and white Cimarosa from Fortuny.

My favorite flower, from my all time favorite fabric house Fortuny, is Cimarosa. It is sophisticated and intricate showing the beautiful variation of color that makes Fortuny so desirable.

Above it adds a pretty point of interest in the otherwise neutral bedroom.

The yellow and white color way softens up the dark wicker and wood tones.

Layering varying patterns of Fortuny is my favorite way to use the fabric.

Another favorite is Persiano for its subtle hint of the exotic.

Because it is understated it works well in traditional interiors as seen in a guest bedroom above.

A new favorite fabric is Santander from Rosa Bernal.

Casa Gusto used it to upholster a chaise in their spectacular store. Love the striped cording they paired with this floral.

Favorite flowers – Indian style.

A new favorite from Elizabeth Eakins is Attur because I love the olive tones they added to this Indian-inspired textile.

This pattern also by Elizabeth Eakins used to be available in a block print. It had a special charm when printed that way, however; this is still a lovely pattern especially for blue and white enthusiasts.

Muriel Brandolini was my favorite source for Indian florals. Her special twist made them her own in style and color.

Likewise inspired by Egypt, Soane created Filigree Flower with its glorious greens.

Persian flower is an allover floral with vibrant golds and green.

Paisley Stripe injects its whimsical shape disrupting the flowers into stripes.

It pairs nicely with the framed tiger reminiscent of exotic India.
