Along with a new line of bed, bath & decor accents for Target, Nate Berkus recently launched a great collaboration for a fabric line at Calico Corners. He has so many inspiring prints to chose from, on display at the entrance of Calico Corners. While at my local Calico Corners (in Scottsdale) I asked if by chance Nate might make a personal appearance + book signing at the shop -- Although they said no, I am hopeful (hint hint Nate!) With so many pretty patterns from Nate's line to chose…

Muted aquamarine blues and soft linen grays marry here for a serene, calming room. Chipper is the ikat print fabric that complements the large Ajanta Handprint floral. Both work beautifully with Island Stripe, all woven in India. We've added texture and contrast with Primative Stripe and Small Houndstooth, plus a pretty embroidered cotton on a flax ground to complete the picture. www.calicocorners.com/category/landingpage/tranquility.do

The Jacobean floral print Darjeeling is the standout fabric in this collection, in classic chinoiserie blue and indigo on an ivory ground. It's complemented by jacquard wovens in indigo — the ikat design Samani, the paisley Basira and the ottoman stripe Mulsanne. The smaller-scale embroideries April Flowers or Unlinxed would make lovely window treatments, pillows or a tableskirt. Completing this mix of fabrics is a subtle diamond-pattern solid; a textured linen would also play well with all…

As you all know, Calico Corners is my first choice when sourcing fabrics for clients and my own home. I love their stores, the friendliness of the people, the knowledge! There's nothing quite like walking into a store and knowing the staff by name!

Feel as if you've been spirited to an island with pink sands, soft green foliage and honeysuckle in bloom with this appealing group of fabrics that can transform any room. The dramatic Bansuri ikat print fabric can anchor a bed, an upholstered screen, a large chair or big pillows -- use it to make a design statement! Then coordinate it with the delicately drawn Toile Shanghai or the paisley print fabric Sugar Baby -- all complemented by a sprightly woven stripe fabric and a dressy textured…

Inspired by the colors of Asian porcelains and indigo prints brought to the new world on merchant vessels, this collection includes true handcrafted fabrics. The floral Ajmer Handprint is hand screened in India to create the look of a vintage block print. And Caravan Ikat is a true ikat with a hand-dyed warp — a laborious process filmed in this video. Arles Quilt Floral from our Ralph Lauren fabrics recreates the look of a resist print. These patterns are complemented by stripes large and…

From Suzanis to ikats, paisleys to tribal motifs, there are dramatic designs inspired by cultures far and near in both prints and jacquard wovens, mid-scale to large-scale. These are the fabrics that create a focal point on a piece of furniture, the designs that trigger the question, "When were you traveling on the Silk Road?" www.calicocorners.com/category/landingpage/ethnicinspirat...
