Last we met regarding Extreme Home Makeover’s: Marrero Family Highlights, we took a visual and sensual tour through what you & the J&O Family considered to be one of the more stylish and appealing rooms. In this article we will revisit their formal sitting room and delve into some of the fabrics used to fashion the space reserved for guests and modest entertaining.
When we first saw the cream and wine themed room, we instantly felt welcomed and warm. As the Extreme Home Makeover camera roamed the interior of the space, we saw how the recess lighting, low lit table lamps, strategically placed candles and see through fire place all complimented the look and feel.
The dark harvest palette of burgundy, winter grey and chestnut added richness to the vanilla cream walls and textured sofa. A deep carmine tapestry dressed the far wall, creating the visual effect of a more enclosed space, while also providing the viewer with a more intimate feel.
The highlight of the room was the use of J&O’s rich wine colored velvet suede fabric. The supple hand of this designer fabric as well as its rich color, make it a fashionable material for window dressing. In the winter months it will provide layers of protection against Mother Nature’s fury, and create a coziness in the home at the end of the day. In the warmer months, the soft and decadent fabric can be pulled to the sides to offer in plenty of light and fresh air.
Fabrics truly have the ability to inspire and create. They add texture and character to a room or piece of furniture, and can enhance or subdue the energy of a space through color alone. If nothing else, the design ideas from Extreme Makeover Home Edition, will put a spark in you to bring your creative vision to life through fabric. Until next time, make your house into a home with fabric from J&O.
Occasionally, fabrics that are called classic are really just outdated, and fabrics qualified as "modern" may have overbearing designs. Unlike either of those possibilities, Bonetti Velvet Flock Linen is a fabric that both modern and classic in the best senses of those words.
Bonetti has a classic design in the sense of timeless elegance. It would be difficult to imagine a time when this design fabric would be considered anything less than beautiful. The timeless quality of Bonetti is also the key to understanding its modernity. This is a decorator fabric that - though it possess a classic design - can seemingly adapt to any fabric trends.
The very design of Bonetti is an intriguing combination of two very disparate elements: velvet and linen. While velvet has always been considered a sumptuous fabric of the highest order, linen has a decidedly more rustic appeal. Nevertheless, Bonetti successfully combines those qualities into one incredible fabric.
This most luxurious designer fabric is particularly suited to more formal areas of your home such as living rooms, dining rooms, studies, libraries and offices. However, it will look splendid in kitchens, family rooms and in other more casual surroundings. Furthermore, rather than detracting from your furniture Bonetti will accent and highlight it.
