This week, has been all about neutral fabrics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This has been a surprise for us,
\nusually in the summer people are ramping up the use of color.<\/p>\n

But, not this year.
\nNeutral fabrics are HOT!<\/p>\n

For geometrics there are two different lattice patterns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BROWN
BROWN LATTICE SCROLL FABRIC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One is a print,
\nand one is a woven upholstery fabric.<\/p>\n

Both are available in a brown or tan color and in grey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BEIGE

For those looking for a shell fabric,
\nthere are quite a lot of them to choose from.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"GREY
GREY SEASHELL TRELLIS FABRIC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"SEASHELL
SEASHELL SEAHORSE FABRIC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The seashell seahorse fabric
\nis an over-sized pattern with touches of soft orange.<\/p>\n

For coral there is the brown coral fabric,
\nwith grey sea fans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BROWN

This is another large pattern done in
\nbrown, beige, and grey.<\/p>\n

Another brown coral fabric has a watercolor look.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many of the neutral fabrics have a bit of color added
\nto the pattern for emphasis.<\/p>\n

The French chicken toile is an example.
\nDone in neutral tones,
\nthe added red gives a color to the pattern,
\nbut also mentally gives us a key for design,
\nas it is used on the cockscombs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"FRENCH

What we call the breakfast chicken fabric has
\na neutral color palette with orange for a nice contrast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BREAKFAST

There are two leaf patterns that are neutrals.<\/p>\n

One has burlap colored leaves on white.
\nIt has a relaxed boho feel to it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"EMBROIDERED

The other is almost the opposite in color,\u00a0look, and feel.
\nThe feeling of this is crisp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"EMBROIDERED

There are two medieval patterns done in neutrals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"MEDIEVAL

The Medieval Crown fabric is done on off-white.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What I like about neutrals is they are versatile.
\nFirst the decision has to be made- warm or color tones?<\/p>\n

Take brown. Brown is a combination of red, yellow, and blue. Does it have a warm look- with more yellow and red? Or is it a cool brown, with more blue? Does a grey move to a yellow or to blue? If one is not sure, take a yellow or blue color chart, and hold it next to the fabric and see… does it seem more yellow? Or does it move to blue? These are thoughts that will help you as you move through the process of decorating.<\/p>\n

Remember, decorating is for YOU! It is about what you like, what you wish to live with. There is no right or wrong, it comes down to what makes one happy when one looks at your room.<\/p>\n

Okay, so neutrals are versatile. We have that. Now, what are you going to do with it? Do you want to punch it up with color? Use a design that is in high contrast?<\/p>\n

My favorite neutral is the Clarence House Fabric Sabartes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"CLARENCE
CLARENCE HOUSE FABRICS- SABARTES<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a woven of taupe and white, with
\na very, very thin thread of light off white grey.
\nThis can appear warm or cool,
\ndepending on what is around it.
\nIt is that neutral.<\/p>\n

And against this,
\none can put just about anything.<\/p>\n

Want a modern pop?
\nTry the modern Greek key in black.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BLACK

Or try the brown dandelion fabric.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DANDELION
DANDELION DOCK FABRIC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you don’t want a high contrast color,
\ntry a contrasting pattern-
\neither of the lattice patterns above would give a
\nnice contrast while staying in the same color range.<\/p>\n

Or if you want a subtle color added
\nthe large orange paisley fabric would make a warm contrast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ORANGE
ORANGE GREY PAISLEY FABRIC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The blue paisley handprint would make a cool contrast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BLUE

With neutrals, the decorating choices are wide open. Do you want calm? Or do you want jazz? The choice is yours, and you can get what you want by considering color, pattern, scale, and placement in a room. So, go have fun with it!<\/p>\n

Take a look at some of the different neutral fabrics
\nand see if there is anything you can work with
\nfor a change in your decorating scheme.<\/p>\n
