Fabric Fashionista

When models hit the runways to promote fashion designers’ newest masterpieces, retail clothiers and fashionistas aren’t the only ones taking note. The styles and colors presented under the lights are highly influential throughout the market, especially in fabrics and home design.

For more than 25 years, designers and homeowners alike have chosen Boone Decorative Fabrics as the one-stop shop for affordable and top quality fabrics. With nine East Coast locations, Boone Fabrics is one of the Southeast’s premier sources for innovative design and décor.

“Our fabrics closely follow the fashion trends,” said Kristen Auten, manager of Boone Decorative Fabrics. “The newest looks for fall include rich jewel tones and earthen hues as well as the classic sophistication of black and white ensembles.” Geisha-inspired colors from the Far East will direct the new fall lineup, dominated by rich hues of deep purples, indigos, reds and greens. More traditional minded consumers will be pleased with the newer twist on jewel tones in cool sapphire blue, magenta, deep gold, rust and chocolate brown. As the once popular blue/brown combination declines, Boone Fabrics will present a surge in more earthy tones inspired by today’s popular “Go Green” concept. Sage green will be the newest neutral, sometimes even being accented with blues to create a fresh, clean feel. Black and white classics will be accented with shiny metallic fabrics and accessories, supplying smart innovation.

“The trend is going more neutral, especially in larger pieces. Window treatments and accent pillows will be used to give that extra pop of color,” said Auten. “We tell customers to always follow their personal tastes and pick fabrics that are both functional and stylish. Of course, we are always on hand to help with this process.”

For homeowners interested in creating a unique ambiance in their home, Boone Fabrics offers custom furniture lines, with a variety of pieces and fabrics available to create the perfect accent. Custom pieces are built and delivered in two weeks or less. Boone Fabrics also offers a variety of specialized services including measuring, consultation and installation. Additionally, Boone Fabrics offers custom window treatments, bedding and upholstery.

“Our customers come to us for the highest standards of quality, functionality and style,” said Auten. “With our always affordable pricing and onsite decorating expertise, Boone Fabrics offers a complete design package.”
