TRENDS FROM MAXWELL FABRICS

From Maxwell Fabrics we're seeing a trend of luxurious yet simple elegance. There is a balance of fashion forward trends with sustainable style. To achieve this select classic styles and accent with trendy changeable pieces. Traditional decor is being pared down to become more modern and clean.

Velvet



Posted by PicasaVelvet has a sensuous appeal. It is very touchable. It is plush and luxurious. It is also durable and comfortable.

In trends we are seeing shiny velvets as well as matte. Embossed, cut and crushed velvets are all important.

Dominating colors in velvet are updated shades of green, sapphire, topaz, magenta and amethyst.

Shimmer and Sheen



Posted by PicasaThe newest trend in creating shimmer and sheen is the use of surface embellishments. Crystals, studs and sequins are all being used. The look adds luminosity and reflection.

Faux Leather



Posted by PicasaA trend in faux leather is a futuristic look that changes color as it is stretched for upholstery.This is wonderful in a contemporary or modern design. It is also a great updated look in a traditional setting.

Linen



Posted by PicasaLinen is a versatile fabric. I use it for slipcovers, upholstery and it makes exquisite window treatments. Linen is classic and casually elegant.

Color Trends

In neutrals we're seeing ivory, white and gray. There are lots of grays from light silvery tones to stone and concrete and on to dark shades of charcoal.

Accenting the various shades of grey are fuchsia, plum, sapphire, yellow and acid green.
