Pin Board Scheme I

Bedroom Treatment





1. Bed cushions. A sophisticated silk stripe. A combination of refined champagne gold and silver, punctuated with contrasting bands of black and red. In this pic you can also see a combination of weaves in the construction of the fabric. Drill (diagonal) and ombre (the gradient effect made by the warp (vertical) threads.


2. Upholstered bedhead. The subtle textured wave pattern is created by a puckered effect like that in seersucker fabric.


3. Bedroom chair. This fabric is actually designed for commercial purposes (office chairs, etc.). The pattern is funky and clever, called Data Stripe. It would make a striking, contemporary stand-alone piece.


4. Drapes. The top 2/3 of the drapes are a metallic polyester in a gunmetal grey. The bottom 1/3 panel is a steel blue cotton. Both reminiscent of fabric used for men's tailoring.
