Giant flowers
This season the flowers are growing especially lushly andreach incredible sizes. Not that it was a surprise - breeders and designers have been working on developing new varieties for several years. Manuel Canovas has elegantly embroidered specimens. Marimekko has simplified and stylized ones. Missoni can't resist its favorite stripes. Living in a flower garden is not that easy. better in doses, with accents. For example, upholstering only one chair or limiting yourself to curtains, taking a matching plain fabric as a companion.

Purple gamma
It seems like just yesterday that fashion designers were making statementssacramental: "purple" is the new black. But look, time has passed and the fabrics have faded to purple. By the way, Leo Tolstoy loved this shade. And for good reason, "it is recommended for creative people. Although it is contraindicated for unbalanced individuals. An interesting color. It seems to indicate power and strength, but on the other hand it evokes languid Blok-like sadness. It looks spectacular in both thin tulle and thick cotton. It suits the pop shine of vinyl, the luxurious softness of velvet, and silky shimmers. Such a wealth of textures and shades allows any decorator to fully express their creativity. The main thing is that the customer is not a psycho.

Green with pink
Chartreuse liqueur was invented in a monastery in the 17th centurynear Grenoble. Its life-affirming color is almost pure chlorophyll, collected from 150 different herbs. This yellow-green shade has since been named after the sweet and strong drink. Paired with delicate pink, it looks fresh, like a debutante's dress at a spring ball. But not long ago, such a combination was considered vulgar. But, as in the liqueur recipe, everything depends on the nuances. Green and pink make a wonderful duet in a glossy version or in the form of a geometric pattern. As for romantic bouquets with green leaves, they evoke pleasant associations with good old England.

Peas
It's time to sing a ditty:«I sewed a sarafan with red polka dots». True, polka dots of any color and size are used for sewing outfits for home today. Some manufacturers make them reminiscent of uneven raindrops, others refer to the strict structures of chemical molecules, and still others - a dotted Morse code or a neat line of wallpaper nails, glittering with copper caps. There are even descendants of op-art - regular rows of circles changing size in the direction of decreasing. But the variety will not deceive anyone: it is still the same cheerful polka dots that attract a good mood and repel troubles. Especially to the face of interiors solved in the spirit of the 60s.

Delftware
When last year the famous Englishtrendsetter Andrew Wallace, head of Andrew Martin, promised that there would be a lot of blue and white fabrics in 2008, it was hard to believe: again? For how long? Everything was confirmed - many textile stands were dominated by the colors of Dutch tiles, Gzhel bowls, Portuguese churches. All of these are descendants of Chinese cobalt porcelain, which Europe tried to imitate after it discovered China with all its wonders in the 17th century. The subjects are very diverse: scenes in the spirit of "Zhuyi", all sorts of flowers and butterflies. Ornaments - floral and geometric, oriental motifs and even images of dishes. A real treat for fans of classics and country style.

Folklore
Designers remembered their roots.And all at once - Slavic, Asian, Finno-Ugric. In the latest textile collections, flowers reminiscent of Palekh, blurred patterns of kilims, Indian paisley cucumbers, Scandinavian snowflakes and patchwork are equally common. Even nesting dolls are found! Sahco continues the theme of Uzbek ikats and African stylized suns, Pierre Frey goes on a journey through Alpine villages. Even the luxurious Rubelli did not remain aloof from the general search and decorated a simple white fabric with a pseudo-folk floral pattern. Cheerful folk motifs enliven not only huts, but also palaces.

Velvet
Having said goodbye to minimalism, decoratorsturned to fabrics that are pleasant in every way. Especially to the touch: velour, corduroy, flock. Velvety textures are now used even in wallpaper, not to mention upholstery and drapery fabrics. Among the hits is Venetian silk velvet, woven according to historical samples, such as Luigi Bevilagua. Aged, as if dusted with time, Decortex fabrics. There are crushed, etched, patterned and other versions of this rich material. But remember, velvet in the interior behaves capriciously - it can absorb light or reflect it in spots, so you will have to think especially about the lighting. A good option is upward-facing sconces and floor lamps.
