From the Southern Charm collection by Waverly
Turn back time:
Waverly's new fabric collection recalls the charm of the South
|
| From
the Southern Charm collection by Waverly |
|
The graceful mansions of Savannah and Charleston, richly decorated with sumptuous fabrics and sophisticated home furnishings, provided the Waverly designers with inspiration for a wonderfully wide-ranging new collection of decorative fabrics. The lush florals, delicate all-over designs, varied stripes and shimmering sheers of Southern Charm, as the line is called, effortlessly blend a feeling of urban elegance with the pastoral beauty of the Southern countryside.
The nine prints and five woven designs that comprise the fabric collection are available in an array of bold colors, such as scarlet, onyx, emerald and fig—a compelling new blend of purple and chocolate—as well as softer shades such as sage, ecru and antique gold. The patterns, too, run the gamut, with designs that will comfortably fit with any lifestyle. Callaway Plantation, for example, named after an estate in Georgia, is a dramatic, oversized floral that showcases a garden of peonies and roses in full bloom. When the flowers are set against a vivid onyx or fig background, the design takes on a contemporary air, but with a gentler ecru or sage background, the fabric seems more traditional in feeling.
Sweet Magnolia and Camellia Terrace also focus on southern blossoms, but the botanical studies are not all floral. Holly Hill is a print fabric that features an all-over small leaf in an Arts & Crafts style, while Wynfield Manor is a reversible woven fabric with a small, elegant vine design, and Fair Oaks, a fern pattern, is available two ways: printed onto a slubbed, raw silk-like fabric or delicately woven into a sheer material.
Several stripe designs, including Wythe Check, a sophisticated
mix of checks and stripes; an iridescent sheer in several soft shades,
and an
unusual toile called Scenic Savannah, which features courting couples
and village scenes from the mid-19th century, complete the collection.
