I’ve said it before, and I get the chance to say it again, the gorgeous CHIANG MAI DRAGON 100% linen fabric is going to be remembered in history globally as one of the most popular fabrics ever produced by American fabric & wallpaper designers Schumacher. This week Fabric Studio has spied the cover of Australian House & Garden magazine, May ’13 edition, featuring this iconic fabric in colour Aquamarine as covering of two classic shaped armchairs. There are 5 different colourways of Chiang Mai Dragon, but this one is soft yet punchy with the zing of the very ‘now’ tangerine accent colour. The background is breathtaking and I can’t imagine a room scheme that wouldn’t be brightened up by this fabric (even just a couple of cushions). And there’s a little green cushion on one of the chairs in the famous Kelly Wearstler for Schumacher fabric, EMERALD CUT/Lotus Ivory too. See these fabulous timeless fabrics in our online shop here:-

As frequent readers of Fabric Studio WHATS HOT will know, I have long had a bit of a thing for Blue-n-White ‘anything’. Well I would love to introduce you to the newest member of my collection – meet my gorgeous new chair just installed at our new apartment. It is so beautiful and even on the dullest day, brings the room to life. When it came to selecting ‘the’ blue-n-white fabric, I just had to go with Schumacher CHIANG MAI DRAGON/China Blue 173272 – I’ve admired this fabric for such a long time, and I am so thrilled with the result.
Even just a couple of cushions can bring such amazing energy into a room. It’s available in our online shop here!
