You might remember from the One Room Challenge I am working on creating black lacquer benches ( in the style of the examples above) for each side of my fireplace. They are the "POP" that the room needs to finish it off....
which in my mind includes adding a bright pink fabric with a touch of gold or white......here are a few top contenders from the HarlequinUK line of delicious fabrics....I think I might have hit paydirt!!
HarlequinUK is simply one of my faves but with this particular challenge they have presented me with several solid (forgive the pun) options....but this is where you come in.....I have outlined a few top contenders and I would like your thoughts....which is your FAVE?
Kallianthi-Grasses-Fabric 120023
Example: of Options both 1 and 3.
Amilie-Etienne-Fabric 3596
Example: TDF! (to die for)
3. This option is again pink with gold beading...
although the hue reads a little too purple/magenta for me...thoughts?
Kallianthi-Beads-Fabric 120044
4. I had to throw a velvet or two into the mix...
this is elegant with a little funkiness... love the "goldish" inlay...hmmm
Pasha Blush Fabric 7590
5. Here is a classic, safe... but stunning... choice...
a bright, fuschia velvet solid....used in a thick striped combination....
Lucido Velvets-Magenta-Fabric 7841
with either one of these velvets. This one matches the shell mettalic on the wall...
and this one picks up the gold in the room...
Lucido Velvet Cahsmere Fabric 7821
6. This is not a top contender but I think it is something to consider...
Lalika Neela Fabric 1238
example....
very pretty on the pillows...could be magnificent...
but probably better on a white laquered ottoman...not a black one...too flat!
This fabric almost makes me want to go with white lacquer instead...
7. Here is a linen stripe option...
which could work with the shell metallic color on the wall
and contrast with the black lacquer too...
seems a bit of a safe (aka boring) choice though...do you agree?
Amilie Weave Sofia Fabric 1008
So...what do you think? Please cast your vote! I'm interested in your "design instincts".....
do you think I should stick with black lacquer or should I switch to white? The samples of each are ordered...
Ohhh the choices...Merci'!
number 4 is my FAVE!
ReplyDeleteThat was my girlfriend's pick too! Thanks!
DeleteI would stick with the black. Like the idea of adding some gold filigree. I'm torn between #4,love the pattern, and # 2, striking . Both are large prints that would POP!

I think black is right...first instincts are usually best! I agree with you and your description of both 4 and 2...the samples will help me make a decision too!
DeleteThese fabrics are beautiful. I would stick with black. Choice #1 or #4 would be great. Good luck with your decision. I can't wait to see the finished product.
