Prints Charming!

I've been so immersed in ancient looking historic fabrics lately for my current project, that I'm starting to quite like them. Watts of Westminster, Morris & Co, Claremont all do incredible historic fabrics. Of course I wouldn't use any of them in an old house. It would only work for me if everything else was modern and eclectic. Otherwise it can be stuffy and traditional, which I don't do. 
I do love the contrast between a modern or industrial room and a floral covered chair. There are definitely ways of using antique inspired prints for a more modern eclectic vibe. 

These images from Sanderson are very cool, aren't they? 



And these from William Morris are amazing. Put these chairs in a concrete box loft with sheepskin rugs, lots of white and walls lined with piles of books and they'd be far from stuffy.

Feel free to write me a note - I love getting them. It's a bit like getting an old-fashioned letter in the post. Thanks! x
