Design Guide | How to decorate with plain fabrics
In this design guide we look at an approach that focuses on making a statement with plains. While often seen as the supporting element within an interior, using a plain fabric as the main event in a scheme can create a truly surprising and unexpected look to your interiors. By focusing on block colour and textures, you can add layers of interest, personality, and style to any room. It’s a sophisticated way to introduce depth and a unique touch, pairing blocks of vibrant colour with accents of pattern to bring a space to life.
At Imogen Heath, we believe in the power of colour and texture, as seen with our beautiful edit of wool plains within the collection - an elegant, versatile offering designed to elevate any interior. Bringing together beautiful colours with luxurious, tactile, natural materials - from delicate crepes to bold bouclés, these fabrics all have a timeless quality to them.
We hope you enjoy exploring the collection - ideal for upholstery, drapery and soft furnishings in both residential and commercial spaces and you find just the right shades for your upcoming design projects.
Here is a selection of some our favourite interiors that use plain fabrics in fresh and exciting ways.
