Lets Travel The World

Clinical, plain, textured and streamlined is still so very popular in all of our houses, but there does seem to be a lot more people starting to have fun with fabrics!
Leading the way are the fabric houses and wholesalers here in Australia. Releasing bright patterns, mixtures of old world and new that are absolutley perfect for that feature piece. A fabric that has really grabbed my eye is from the Anthropology Collection at Warwick Fabrics. Its a bit of Central Asia, Middle East, and eclectic all at the same time.  Branching out to put a pattern on your lounge or curtains can seem risky, but i can guarantee you if you can find a fabric design that you love, it will become your favourite piece in your house.


The most amazing thing about fabric is that you can literally travel the world right from the comforts of your own home. I just took you to the Middle East and Central Asia......Do you feel like a little trip to New York?! Check out this glamour collection from Zepels Camengo Range -  Central Park!!





I just love the round ottomans with the different coloured top to what is on the sides. And what about the curtains? Two fabrics sewn side by side in each curtain, not many of us are game enough to do that, but it looks stunning! Having your own little expression session with fabrics is like freedom in your own home.
If you can stay on this trip with me we have one more continent to travel to before we head home.  Neutrals, taupes, beiges and earthly colours may still be more your thing,  "Spirit of Africa" by Christian Fishbacher seems to really hit the mark with combining earthy tones with a great design and pattern element.



Whatever your style, colours or even cultural design influence you prefer, I encourage you to be bold and bring some of that into your home with the gorgeous fabrics that are available at the moment.
If you need a little help, dont be afraid to ask, the team at www.marrscurtains.com.au are here to help you.

Happy fabric travels!!
