More DG Unlimited

Designers Guild have produced a great usable collection of polyester/cotton stripes that are spot on for our severe Australian conditions. 

Fleuve brings us designs that are usually reserved for silks and silk rich fabrics which are stunning, but aren't always practical here. These vibrant taffetas and sheers will add some dash and glamour to any room.

With colours ranging from Heather to Fuchsia, Lemongrass to Lime, Pebble to Ecru and Lapis to Celadon there is something for every taste. We're looking forward to splashing this collection about!

The blues are vibrant as well as moody like the Corales design in Indigo. The base cloth is wonderfully heavy and ideal for upholstery. I'd love to see this on a sofa with lots of natural textures like seagrass and water Hyacinth. Perfect for our coastal location

The neutrals are fabulous too, ranging from subtle beiges through to rich tobacco's. We're looking forward to working with these great fabrics from one of our favourite suppliers.

Spacecraft artworks

We love Stewart Russell's ever changing offerings from his Spacecraft studio. Here are 3 samples of his latest backing cloth artworks. 

We love Stewart's bold use of colour and the graphic detail achieved. Of course he doesn't know how each piece will look when finished as these artworks are the result of months of other products being screen printed on top. When the backing cloths appear to be 'full' they are carefully removed and framed. 

Each artwork is signed and dated showing when the artwork started as a backing cloth & finally graduated as a work of art.

This is the latest design from the Botanical series called Pale Gum. This range is designed with a little more certainty in the outcome although each piece is definitely individual. A beautiful addition to the collection.

Spacecraft artworks are available in various sizes and can be purchased from Preston Hunter Interiors. See more of Stewart's art at www.spacecraftaustralia.com

Cheery Bedrooms

Here are some recent shots of bedrooms we completed for lovely clients 

just before Christmas for visiting grandsons.

The brief for this room was BLUE. The splash of lime picked out from 

the bedhead fabric gives the room energy.

This room was already painted so we worked with the dark taupe and went for a more 

restful scheme - probably helpful for young boisterous boys at bedtime too.
