Summer Fabrics

June 12, 2014

A recent trip (see here) inspired me to pull together colorful fabrics to use for some of my summer redesign projects.

LOVE this Stroheim "Canton" pattern.  Comes in four colors.

LOVE this Stroheim “Canton” pattern. Comes in four colors

Using the rainbow of shades ~ turquoise, blue, sand, orange, pink, coral, yellow ~ from the Turks and Caicos was all I needed to start my hunt!

Duralee and Jonathan Adler

Not to be cheesy, but I wanted to find fabrics with BEACHY icons….. shells, crabs, starfish, bathing suits, nautical stripes.

P1040198

I was NOT disappointed in my search.

Duralee Yellow!

Duralee, Stroheim, Kravet, Lilly Pulitzer, Jonathan Adler, Thom Filicia and Robert Allen all delivered in spades on the fabric front.  Most of these fabrics are very reasonably priced.  The few that are more expensive can just be used as accents in a room.

P1040213

Love these two bright pink fabrics from Kravet.  The same color as a beach rose in Turks.

P1040225

Sunsets and windsurfer sails inspired this group of orange fabrics.

P1040188

Shades of blue were everywhere.  Turquoise water…

P1040232

Clear blue skies.

P1040192

You can’t do a beach theme without a little navy and white!

P1040202

Mixing lots of stripes with patterns.  I might need to be reigned in a little.

P1040200 P1040207

I could go crazy in my house with all of these fabrics, but my husband has his big eyeballs on me, so I think I will set aside the majority for clients (I qualify as a client?).  I am doing adorable beach window treatments with the coral Stroheim “Canton” fabric.  Big oversized pillows for a screen porch in the navy Duralee crab and yellow/white stripe.  The turquoise shell is going on two blond x-stools for a beach house living room.  Let me know if you want any information on the fabrics featured here!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
