Guest blogger Carol Meader of Cherryellie Designs reveals the fabrics and prints her clients have been coveting this Spring. 

The latest fabric designs for the home this Spring are a riot of nature from exotic palms, Asian prints to floral garden motifs. Popular colours are those that are typical of Spring and Summer – blush pink, soft powder blue, fern greens, classic denim blue, glacier and steel, stone, lavender and natural yellows.

In contrast to the softer pastels, striking sumptuous velvets have risen to prominence, like those in iLiv’s Imperio collection and the Amazilia collection from Harlequin.  

A renaissance of 1950s prints and styles continue to sell well, popular vintage-style fabrics include the Designers Guild Belles Rives collection and Sanderson’s Options 10 collection.  Morris prints are classically popular as always, particularly it’s Strawberry Thief, Willow Boughs and Compton patterns.

The Bird Garden print from iLiv’s Henley collection captures a typical English country garden – a key look this spring. The Baa Baa design from the same collection is a quirky take on the trend which is great for kids.

Tartan was very much en vogue throughout winter and its popularity will continue to grow throughout the year. iLiv has again captured the most sought-after colours in its Lana tartan from the Art Deco collection, which has the added benefit of the look and feel of wool but the practicality of a polyester and cotton mix.
