When I published last week's blog post about Dorothy Draper, a number of readers reminded me of the Dorothy Draper Fabrics & Wallcoverings collection, which is sold through a few designer showrooms across the country. I was familiar with the collection, which I think is absolutely terrific. But, shame on me, I had never written about it on my blog before.
So, off to the Ainsworth-Noah showroom I went, where the collection is presented with the kind of flair that is fitting for any collection bearing Draper's name. As might be expected, there are all kinds of robust prints, from big, blooming florals to tropical greenery. Stripes are a big thing, too, as is bamboo. But if confident-looking prints aren't your thing, the collection's woven and embroidered fabrics, whose photos don't do them justice, likely will be. The downside to the collection? There are so many great fabrics (and wallpapers, too) that making a decision on which one to choose will be difficult at best.
For more information on the collection, please visit the Dorothy Draper Fabrics & Wallcoverings website or contact Ainsworth-Noah or your local showroom.
