Clarence House Fabrics

For nearly fifty years Clarence House Fabrics has been supplying the interior design industry with fabrics that feature exquisite details.

One fine example of this is the textural Jambalaya wool crewel. This fun loving fabric features a unique vine and leaf print with depictions of caterpillars, bugs and even a lion. While this could certainly be used in a child’s room, it is anything but juvenile. The sophisticated interpretation of the leaves, fruit and animals has a bit of an Asian feel and would add wonderful color and texture to any casual space such as a family room, game room or a breakfast area.

The Clarence House coordinating trim collection must be seen to be believed. It includes tiebacks woven to resemble a piece of coral, feathery tassels in every color combination possible and beading hand applied to gimp and braid.

This attention to detail is what sets Clarence House Fabrics apart from other textile manufacturers and it will do the same for your home.
