A monochrome color scheme utilizes one color in various hues, values and saturations. So that one color can actually vary widely, say from a pale pink to a deep red. You can avoid monotony and create inerest by mixing texture and pattern. Here, a metallic drapery in Copper provides a shimmery backdrop to the rich and plush chocolate brown mohair. Pontevecchio, a floral jacquard adds movement to the compostion. The color variation in this composition ranges from a beige, almost white to a deep chocolate brown @ FabricSeen
Creating a complementarly color scheme in blue and gold can evoke the contrasting themes of calm and vibrant – cool and warm. In the case of the fabrics featured above, we have also contrasted texture and pattern. Sometimes gold can feel heavy, but not in the case of Amelia Sheer Stripe drapery; a double wide fabric made for an Amelia Island Resort. Cortez in cornflower is 100% silk in textural nubby weave in an almost luminescent blue. Matelasse Greek Key in gold is also 100% silk but in a refined finish with a traditional motif. Finally, Metropolitan linen upholstery in a soft lagoon blue, recalls the greek key motif executed with embroidery. The fabrics provide a gentle contrast in color, texture and pattern in a soothing, but never boring, composition. @ FabricSeen
Including this: Master’s Chair by Philippe Starck; so named for it’s inspiration(s) Jacobsen’s Series 7, Saarinen’s Tulip and the Eames’ Eiffel chair. Starck fuses clearly identifiable elements from all three masterworks into his own language. @ EmmoHome
