This month’s Belle magazine is on the shelves and our very own China Seas is featured on page 68 and Les Indiennes is featured on page 69. It is a beautiful spread on a range of fabulous fabrics from tribal prints to French provincial.

The China Seas range includes geometrics, floral, and Chinoiserie patterns that are continuously used by top American Interior Designers. The colours and patterns are timeless, making them perfect for either classic or modern interiors. They are hand screened on a linen/cotton ground. China Seas designs are also available in wallpaper.

Les Indiennes fabrics are a modern interpretation of traditional Indian motifs designed by Mary Mulcahy. The fabrics are made in India using the traditional Kalamkari process, which does not cause pollution and provides fair trade for over 50 families in the Indian village where there are made. The patterns are printed on organically grown cotton using natural dyes. The results are soft, beautiful and timeless. Quilts, cushions and bed linen is also available in coordinating patterns.

We love this month magazine with the bright yellow and white awning featured on the front, very Hamptons indeed. Skip to page 76 and low and behold there is my Hamptons outfit waiting for me. Thank you Belle for loving our lines and for producing such a fun read month after month.

Introducing Katherine Rally!

honi — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 07:22:00 +0000

DB Home has a new fabric line that is making us day dream about summer nights, cocktails and exotic places (more than we were before that is). It is Katherine Rally, it is absolutely beautiful and we are so excited to have this totally new line in our showroom. The colours are extensive and vibrant; there is a delicious tangerine, a lovely versatile kelly green and a stunning pink coral to name just a few.

The name Katherine Rally comes from a talented husband and wife duo, Katherine and Rally Dupps. Their inspiration for the line was during their travels to Indonesia. Surrounded by stunning beauty, they created their own line of batiks inspired by their love of travel, textiles and design.

The range includes fabrics by the yard, cushions and tableware.

We have their line in our showroom now, so pop by if you too are craving the warmer months and in need of a little inspiration.

The Dupps family

These cushions are really so special.

Imagine your table with these and a jug of sangria!

And now I am day dreaming again.....

We are so excited to have Lisa Fine’s collection of beautiful textiles in our showroom. The range is inspired by Lisa’s travels and exotic textiles, particularly from India. We hope you all love them as much as we do!

How amazing does Lisa’s Pasha Palm look on the walls of Peter Dunham’s store Hollywood at Home!

Four Continents

diane — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:33:32 +0000

The gorgeous London apartment of interior decorator Christopher Leach is featured in the July issue of The World of Interiors. The whole apartment is stunning but I was particularly amazed by his bedroom which is covered in Peter Dunham’s toile four continents. He didn’t just stop at the walls though, he also covered the ceiling, doors, drawers and lamp shades in the chocolate coloured toile!!! It took over 100 metres of the fabric to cover the space as it has such a narrow repeat!

I think this looks amazing, but I’m not too sure about the pleated ceiling?!

Peter Dunham’s four continents is available at Diane Bergeron Interiors.

Arbre de Matisse

How amazing does Tory Burch’s breakfast room look decorated completely in China Sea’s Arbre de Matisse. Despite the excessive use of the beautiful fabric, she has made it work and has created a really fun room! I would love to sit there everyday for breakfast.

The same room was then transformed into a lounge for Tina Barney’s photo shoot of Tory’s Spring 2010 collection. I love how everything blends together and the only thing that allows you to distinguish what’s what is the brush fringe on the pillows!

The Arbre de Matisse print, inspired by Matisse’s work, is one of Quadrille’s most popular fabrics. Below are some pictures of how other designers have used it.

Mary McDonald and Quadrille

In this month’s House Beautiful magazine Quadrille’s new Kazak fabric is featured again in the whimsical yet sophisticated tent design by LA based interior designer Mary McDonald. McDonald uses scores of bold colour, pattern and texture in her design (including fabrics Saya Gata and Meloire Reverse by Alan Campbell through Quadrille) while maintaining balance across the room.

All fabrics available through Diane Bergeron Interiors.

We’re really excited to have the new range from Quadrille in our Melbourne showroom.
The stunning Kazak design, seen here in orange, would make any room feel more vibrant.

The entrance to my showroom is adorned by another new line from Quadrille which we’re equally excited about having, the Palampore Stripe (hanging).

Another Day at The Office

Lulu de Kwiatkowski has been a source of inspiration for me through both her beautiful book of collages (LULU from Ammo Books), and my use of her fabrics in my decorating. Now it is possible to get a little dose of Lulu’s style everyday, through her blog: Trail of Inspiration.

We are so thrilled to be in this month’s issue, with the launch of this new fabric at DB Home. This madras patchwork embodies New England classic style. You may recognize this fabric from our earlier blog about the Obama family’s Martha’s Vineyard holiday house.
