a sneak peek to start the week

Remember a few weeks back when I showed you some sneak peeks of the upcoming new Designers Guild bedlinen designs? You can refresh your memory here. Well last week I had my first glimpse of the new Designers Guild 'Darly' fabric collections, and I thought you might like a first wee glimpse too! The new collection is a diverse range of stunning prints, both floral and geometric, together with a strong collection of upholstery weaves - the beautiful soft Barbier wool stripes were my favourite (on the back of the retro chair in the above image). As we have seen for the past few seasons, wallpapers continue to exert a strong influence, and for accent pieces, the embroidered silks are incredible!
Colours this season are stronger - brilliant shades of chartreuse, pink, & ocean blue, but anchored with lots of charcoal, cocoa and crisp graphic black & white.
Retro or contemporary modern, or classic - as always with Designers Guild the look is up to you. This Leopold wallpaper is particularly striking don't you agree! We're putting this one up instore. The new collection launches next month. Can't wait! Pin It

  1. Leopold wallpaper very bold, bit like having 3D glasses on. Love the shot of lime with it.

  2. What amazing colours. I am a bit of a neutral girl so the stripes are my favourite too (I think having lots of kids equates to lots of stuff and mess and so I need something peaceful on which to rest my eye!), but in someone else's house this looks fantastic.

  3. Yes, the pink is very bold isn't it. Looks amazing in this contemporary space. Clare, there are also some beautiful tranquil blues & neutrals - very restful after a manic day, and some fantastic charcoal & white tones. I'll find some of these for you both!
