 Autumn & Winter Trends 2007
Just as the autumn / winter fashion collections are appearing on the
high street, exciting new designs and colour combinations are making
an appearance in interiors. The trend for metallics and embellishment was everywhere on the catwalk. For those wanting to add some sparkle to their interiors choose from Casamance Crystal, Cole & Son's Milan Collection, both
featuring swarovski crystal or Ulf Moritz's Pearl.
The new Sackville Collection from Jasper Conran, inspired by men's
suiting, is perfect for a monochrome scheme - comprising pinstripe
fabrics suitable for upholstery and black and white graphic designs
for soft furnishings, all resulting in a smart tailored look for your
interior.
The Virtue wallpaper collection from Harlequin consists of exciting
contemporary designs perfect for feature walls, combining retro
geometrics, smart stripes and graphic designs in modern neutral
colourways and subtle metallics.
Harlequin's Romanie collection inspired by gypsy folklore offers a
mixture of eclectic prints, bohemian embroideries and versatile
wallpapers, all complemented by silk effect fabrics in more than a hundred
different colourways.
For the more adventurous interior decorator the Fornasetti Collection
by Cole & Son will be of interest, featuring fourteen designs from Piero
Fornasetti's archive. The Italian artist is known for his surrealist
stylised images on ceramics, textiles and furniture. One of his
iconic images features the face of a girl he saw in a 19th century
French magazine. During his lifetime he drew more than 350 variations
of this face. The design "Tema e variazoni" is available in three
colourways and is a must for any feature wall.
There still continues to be a move away from minimalism towards self
expression through the use of more flamboyant wallpapers and fabric,
featuring over-scale pattern, metallic finishes and vibrant colour
combinations. For those of you who prefer texture to pattern, Brian Yates offers a huge range of interesting wallcoverings.
