Cowtan & Tout is my favorite for fabrics. I love them even though I am not a fan of British decorating. Also on my list are Clarence House and Schumacher. I am going to put a fun fabric on my drapes, four windows, a sisal rug, maybe grass cloth on the walls for texture. The room is large and boxy. Needs a vibrant fabric that is fun but sophisticated.
I used this in the master bedroom in my house in Maryland and I still adore it. It's called Indian Summer:
This Pierre Frey fabric has potential too:
This is from Schumacher:
Congo from Clarence House also has potential:
This is what I fell in love with but I think this is too whimsical for a country house. Love the colors, it 's vivid in real life: blacks, orange, aqua and pink.
It must be in my DNA to have animals everywhere. Most of my fabrics have animals. Oh well, surround yourself with what you love right?
Ann, I am trying to find out the name of the first fabric shown above, listed as Animal Kingdom. I have it on my chairs and need to recover them. I am assuming that is Cowtan & Tout and I wanted to confirm that the name is actually Animal Kingdom. I cannot seem to find it, but plan to go to ADAC in Atlanta to have them identify it. Hoping I can find the name and not have to do that. Thanks so much!
