Rule of 3

 

Skarda Jade, Paloma Jaipur & Vasto Peacock

In the exciting world of fabrics, the options are truly limitless. It can be overwhelming at first, but also incredibly fun! If you're embarking on a new project, here is a tip to guide you.

One helpful approach is the Rule of 3: choose a small, medium, and large print, with one common color that ties everything together. It's perfectly fine to mix patterns that don't necessarily "match" as long as they share that unifying color. Add in a soft, durable solid fabric, and you'll have the perfect foundation for a cohesive room design.

We offer samples of most of our fabrics, so you can easily explore different options. If you find that a sample doesn’t quite fit, you can exchange it for another. Our research department is also available to assist you in selecting the perfect fabric for your project.  Call us at 1-800-590-5844  * www.InteriorDecorating.com * Email: info@interiordecorating.com

Fabric Focus: Alexander Henry

Unusual. Distinctive. Fun. Vibrant. Novelty. All words that describe the cotton fabric prints from Alexander Henry. These popular fabrics are loved from fashion designers to home sewers. If you are looking for something unique, you will find it in these designer fabrics.

Alexander Henry is located in Burbank California and is run by the De Leon Design Group—Marc, Phillip and Nicole de Leon.  Each pattern is designed by in-house artists  who paints each pattern by hand. 

Of the essential studio process, Nicole de Leon explains, "We are painters and we love to paint, and we love that the process is organic and sometimes wonderfully unpredictable. Moving and blending the media is vital to the process." Phillip de Leon, her brother and design partner concurs, "As a fabric company and as painters we feel tied to the tradition of old world textile design. There is an intimacy to our finished product that I believe our clients notice. When we introduce a collection, our customers approach each design as something unique, where the hand of the artist is definitely in evidence."
