The Design Archives has been featured in Bath Life mid September issue. In a piece called Reimaginging The Classics, Sarah Moolla writes a really interesting article about ‘How to tell the story of your home’s past, while incorporating the present’. “Don’t be afraid of maximalist patterns in traditional settings”, says interior designer Clair Strong. “Maximalist patterns — damask, chintz, bold florals — can be stunning in both historic and contemporary homes. I particularly enjoy introducing them into small, transitional rooms like cloakrooms, where the scale and intensity feel jewel-like rather than overwhelming. Design houses such as The Design Archives are wonderful for modern takes on classic fabrics.” Thank you so much for thinking of us Clair! & thank you Sarah Moolla Editor of Bath Life.
In this pretty countryside setting, fabrics from the Archive 1 collection are making a statement. On the wood frame sofa bold and bright The Design Archives Grand Floral Vermillion cotton satin fabric with cushions in Grand Floral and Milano stripe Vermillion, gorgeous Tree of Life Turquoise linen complements the look draped behind.
