Her indoor/outdoor collection designed exclusively for Schumacher delivers a youthful and modern selection of color combinations and patterns that have been inspired by the poolside lifestyle so popular in places like Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Her own personal collection of vintage apparel also offered some inspiration.

Bold prints mimicking a garden trellis or a peacock tail are available in invigorating colors of turquoise, yellow and watermelon. A modern interpretation of a zebra print or the restful fronds pattern can tone down the vibrancy of these geometric patterns. There is even a whimsical fish print patterned after a vintage dress. Couple all of these colors and patterns with neutrals of sand dune and charcoal for a sophisticated and pulled together look.

It is even possible to take many of the Alan Campbell and Quadrille patterns and have them custom printed onto the Suncloth fabric. This feature allows you to create a space that is totally unique to your home.

For example, the large overall pattern found on Prague in the Home Couture collection would make beautiful seat cushions for your sunroom but the black and tan may fade in the bright sunlight. Having this fabric printed onto the fade and heat resistant Suncloth fabric makes it possible to decorate your home without worrying about the elements. Or perhaps you just need a fabric for your family room that can stand up to the kids and dogs. Using an outdoor fabric in indoor rooms will allow you to create a beautiful room without worrying about the durability of your fabric.

Buy Ikat Fabrics – The Popularity of Ikat Fabrics Continue On

Saturday, December 12th, 2009
Learn How to Order Ikat Fabrics »

Ikats have been around for several centuries. It is rare when something that was developed so long ago becomes so popular in modern times. The word “ikat” means “to tie” or “to bind”. This describes the process and also the fabric itself.

Even though, many of today’s Ikats may not be “true” in the sense of how the fabric is constructed, the pattern lives on and is easily recognized when used as a pattern in interior design.

In this day and age where everything seems to be focused on the next “big thing” or the new trend, the ikat will always be regarded as a classic and timeless element of design.
