When looking around at high end Textile and surface designers to help influence my creativity and inspire me I came across lots of beautifully printed, stitched and embellished fabrics and wall coverings.
Some of the products are more simplistic and repetitive compared to other more detailed ones , however simplicity is also a splendid thing.
Mulberry Home.
Mulberry home (http://www.gpandjbaker.com/mulberry-home/en/bsc/view-brochures/)
My starting point is this fantastic set up, The couch is not only covered in a dramatic and loud fabric that incorporates lots of detail and repetitive pattern , the backdrop of the tartan curtains and the decor of the actual interior very much so complements it. I was drawn to this couch by the choice of colour scheme that was chosen on the fabric and the fact that you can take something that is an everyday item such as a couch which becomes worn, saggy and boring and turn it into an installation piece where everything else in the room revolves around it.
Timorous Beasties.
I have had a huge love for Timorous Beasties for a long time and it really enchants me that they still use traditional printing methods to create some amazing collections. The ranges of colour schemes they use is fantastic and creates a huge collection which im sure at least one thing will tickle everyone's fancy whether your wanting a very bold mirrored pattern or a pale earthy coloured wall hanging with very traditional prints that look like they are almost drawn or etched onto the paper.

WATTS
Watts have also created some very intricate patterns using repetitive patterns using what looks like very traditional looking images with a contemporary twist using bold colours that would of necessary been used with those types of wallcoverings in a traditional sense. I really love how they have used a forest green and dirty yellow especially, I feel like this wallcovering more so would definitely be found on a wall in my house.

Sanderson.
Sanderson is a very well known company which is up on par with Morris , again i have also had a huge love for this company especially some of the new products I came across whilst having a wander through the website. Some of the designs I came across are very painterly and look almost like a piece of art, imagine how delicious they would look on the walls of your house!

Lelievre
This design in particular stuck out to me like a sore thumb, It comes across so delicate yet harsh it almost seems as if its a very delicate pattern of ink in water merging more drastically together throughout the piece when it becomes more harsh. The design is very illustrative and comes across almost as a laser cutting, I can very much imagine this pattern on some velvet using devore paste to remove some of the more lighter motifs, which would create such a delicate a fragile piece that would be ever greater in front of a window as the light would seep through the transparent bits.
