Friday Favourites- an appreciation for textiles

by | Jul 7, 2017 | Design, Uncategorized | 2 comments

Anyone who knows or works with me has heard of my love for textiles. It is so important to me that the interiors I design for clients evoke a positive emotional response, going much deeper than aesthetics and comfort, although those areas are also very important as well.

Bringing together different colours, textures and prints is a part of my work that I really enjoy, I just love creating a space that is full of depth, sophistication, style and of course, comfort. I feel that this is best delivered through the right choice of textiles; whether it be wallpaper, an upholstered sofa or cushions, layering different fabrics together will effectively lift your room and give your home a luxurious look and feel.

For my latest round of Friday Favourites, I wanted to share with you, my appreciation of textiles- sharing some of my favourite prints and patterns, custom furniture pieces and more. Let me know your favourite in the comments below, or- tell me about your favourite fabric, I would love to hear all about it.

I hope you enjoy!

de Le Cuona 

I love the way that this fabric designer creates such beautiful fabrics, with a strong passion and attention to detail. From stone-washed linens to her signature wool and cotton paisleys, the collections are just magnificent and I use them often on my projects.

Ralph Lauren 

You just can’t go past the iconic Ralph Lauren can you? The classic, timeless pieces that are sure to be handed down, generation after generation. The range of fabrics, bed linens and wallpaper really speaks to me…

Rubelli

Rubelli’s collections are always pulling at my heart strings. From the neutral, textured linen, to the more vibrant and colourful prints and everything in-between, you will find me hauling these samples to projects often.

Anna Spiro Textiles

Anna Spiro’s beautiful textile collections are designed and handmade in Australia, which I absolutely love, alongside the stunning prints, colour and vibrancy that you get when you look at her collections. With a sense of fun and unique character to these textiles, they are like a work of art in themselves.

Lizzo

Lizzo fabrics and wallpapers are sophisticated and beautiful. Most collections are inspired by history and places in Europe- I just love their luxurious texture and unique prints.

Stephanie Nadel

Assosciate Interior Architect

What makes Stephanie Nadel’s success story so remarkable is that she has come so far, so fast.
Stephanie, the Associate Interior Architect at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, has gained more experience, and handled more responsibilities in the past ten years than many other design professionals take on in their careers.

Stephanie, a multi-talented full service professional, carried out a wide variety of commercial and residential design tasks while she was based in London. She worked for three prominent interior design firms, as well as on her own, and served clients around the world.

In the process, she helped complete within 12 weeks the design and installation of a penthouse suite on The World, the luxury residential yacht that circumnavigates the globe. Prior to this Stephanie lead the full refurbishment of a lavish, Grade II listed, five bedroom home in the Hampstead Garden suburbs in London.

During her five years in London, she worked with Gensler, the world’s largest collaborative design, planning and consulting firm; MoreySmith, a leading design and architecture studio, and Fiona Barratt Interiors, an award-winning luxury design firm.

Assisting with projects for those firms, launching her own residential practice, and interacting with vendors worldwide provided her with project management, creative problem solving, sourcing, technical and other skills that benefit her clients today.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Interior Architecture degree at the University of New South Wales.

While she is adept in several aspects of design, she’s particularly interested in the challenge of refurbishing existing spaces. “I enjoy the problem solving that’s involved with existing buildings,” she says. “Although it is always a privilege to design alongside a team to create new and innovative structures, I love creating meaningful design from older properties and taking inspiration from heritage details.”
