Flowers, Flowers, Everywhere!

One trend that seems to be gaining momentum at this point in time is the HUGE flower trend! There are so many designs out there right now that are massive floral prints. Some of them are FABULOUS! Some of them - not so fabulous.

Some designers have shown the large-scale prints paired with smaller scale stripes or plaids, others are showing several large-scale prints together. When done well, both options are striking!

There is no rule that says large prints have to be relegated to flowers - no way! There are some interesting large-scale prints that are far from floral. I found this fish-themed print from Osborne and Little quite interesting!

Bottom line - big prints are great design elements - just don't overdo it!

Company Spotlight!

There are so many wonderful designers and gorgeous collections out right now. One of my new favorites is Osborne & Little . Osborne & Little was begun by two brothers-in-law who had much creative ability and a knack for business.



In 1968, they opened a showroom in London's Chelsea District, and the rest, as they say, is history! Their designs began as hand-printed wallcovering but in the past 40 years, their designs have taken shape in fabrics, trims, wallcovering, furniture and decorative home accessories.

Through the years, Osborne & Little have forged partnerships with many of the top names in design, including Nina Campbell, Lorca, Liberty Furnishing and, most recently, Michael Reeves.


Osborne & Little is deservedly held in high esteem in the design/decorative world. For more information on Osborne & Little products, contact us!
