A feast of fresh fabrics

Home Fabrics has just released a new range of multi-purpose luxurious materials.

The delightful Parade Ground collection, which comes in a delicious medley of summer colours, will brighten up any interior. The cotton and polycotton blends pop in cheerful stripes and checks and is available in pretty pinks, aquas and cherry blossom palettes.

Decorators in the hospitality industry will be pleased to hear about three collections that are easy to clean and have passed flame retardancy tests.

The Bel Canto range, in six story colours, from classic natural shades to deeper and moodier colours is all about texture and dimension. The feature pattern, Design Puccini, with the 3 jacquard designs is a combination of natural and man-made fibres that achieves interesting relief and textural effects. This makes it, and the rest of the collection, perfect for curtaining and accessories.

The second collection, Northern Lights, made from 100% polyester is available in a number of mineral tones. The five stripe design combines matt and luster yarns to create something for every taste. The shimmering quality of the material, which reflects light to create a myriad of colours, is sure to create a luxurious feel in any environment it is used in.

Special weaving of coloured yarns on the front and reverse in the Sun Downer collection blocks out lights and requires no extra lining. This cost effective range is advantageous with regard to curtaining but by no means is restricted to this, the Sun Downer collection also makes for good furnishings.

Available in 16 shades from muted tones, dusty and classic neutrals, rich earthy tones, silvers and a variety of quirky, vibrant colours these fabrics will create a focal point, wherever one chooses to use them.

The final collection, Hampstead Heath, offers six colour stories, durability and linen and plush chenille motifs. Inspired by an old woven document floral in traditional trilling layout, this classic fabric is perfect for curtaining, upholstery and accessories.

The entire range is available at Home Fabrics showrooms nationwide.
