The Power of Pattern

A new wave of interior design is taking shape, where patterns, textures, and designs are being embraced like never before. This bold approach allows for striking visual storytelling in interiors, inviting depth, movement, and personality into a space. Rather than playing it safe with neutral palettes and subtle details, homeowners and designers are gravitating toward statement pieces—whether through upholstery, drapery, or accent furnishings—that redefine the art of interior styling.

At the forefront of this trend are three newly launched collections—Desa, Casablanca, and Cervo Book—each embodying a distinct yet complementary take on pattern and texture. These collections provide a sophisticated fusion of heritage craftsmanship and modern sensibilities, making them perfect for those looking to experiment with bold interiors.

Desa

Desa masterfully blends the grandeur of ancient tapestry with contemporary textures and geometric designs. Featuring six coordinating fabric qualities, this collection offers a refined take on traditional patterns, reinterpreted for modern spaces. From the striking, high-low animal print of Mongolia to the intricate ornamental waves and rolling tigers of Desa, the collection presents a wealth of statement-making possibilities. The checkerboard designs of Uluwatu and Kali introduce raw, primitive charm, while Halston and Narla provide plush, textured coordinates to complete the look.

How to Use It: Incorporate Desa fabrics into feature furniture like a grand bedhead or a bold, patterned couch to create an opulent focal point. Layer the collection’s rich textures and motifs by pairing statement pieces with coordinating plains for a balanced aesthetic. If subtlety is preferred, introduce Desa through statement cushions or a refined ottoman to add depth and character to a space. For a maximalist approach, mix and match patterns within the collection to create a dynamic, curated look that exudes modern sophistication.

Casablanca

Casablanca brings an artistic edge to interiors by combining primal creativity with structured geometric elements. With its earthy, hand-drawn aesthetic, this collection presents a dynamic juxtaposition of old-world artistry and modern craftsmanship. The Palacio design, with its rustic, imperfect trellis pattern, offers a refined yet organic touch, while the Casablanca pattern features overlapping sand-drawn lines that create a free-flowing, textured appearance.

How to Use It: Opt for Casablanca fabrics on accent chairs or a set of upholstered dining stools to introduce depth and artistic character, enhancing the space with their organic, hand-drawn appeal. For a more immersive effect, use these fabrics on a lounge chair or as upholstery for a statement sofa to frame the room with intricate patterns and soft, earthy textures. Pair them with natural materials like timber and stone for a harmonious, grounded aesthetic, or contrast them with sleek, modern furnishings to highlight their artisanal quality. Layering Casablanca fabrics with complementary plains can further refine the look, creating a balanced interplay of pattern and subtle sophistication. We recommend Mareeba for its subtle textural charm and washed effect—it pairs perfectly with Casablanca.

Cervo Book

Cervo Book embraces the beauty of woven history, translating classic textures into contemporary settings. The collection’s rich variety of patterns and tactile finishes allows for endless design possibilities, whether in a residential or commercial space. Inspired by nature’s organic palette, Cervo’s colour groups feature an earthy spectrum of greys, browns, blues, and neutrals, offering both subtle sophistication and vibrant depth.

How to Use It: Cervo fabrics work beautifully on large upholstered elements like a statement lounge or sectional, bringing depth and dimension to a space with their rich textures and earthy tones. For a more subtle approach, introduce them through decorative cushions, ottomans, or even upholstered bedheads to add a refined touch without overwhelming the room. Layering textures is key to maximizing Cervo’s versatility—combine different fabrics from the collection, such as the structured weave of Tiber with the organic softness of Zagreb, to create a dynamic, tactile aesthetic. For a truly cohesive look, pair Cervo fabrics with natural materials like timber, stone, or linen to enhance their earthy, woven charm. Additionally, these fabrics lend themselves well to commercial settings, offering both durability and sophistication for hotel lounges, office spaces, or boutique interiors.

Bringing Pattern into Your Home

Introducing bold patterns and textures into an interior doesn’t have to be daunting. Here are a few ways to make the most of this trend and save these ideas for future projects:

1. Statement Furniture: A boldly patterned couch or bedhead can instantly define a space. Pair with solid colours and textured neutrals to balance the look.

2. Accent Elements: Patterned cushions, ottomans, or upholstered stools provide an easy way to embrace pattern without full commitment.

3. Mixed-Scale Patterns: Experiment with a combination of large-scale prints and smaller, complementary motifs to create a visually harmonious space.

4. Layered Textures: Combine different fabric finishes—such as woven jacquards, velvets, and textured linens—to create a layered, tactile aesthetic that adds warmth and dimension.

5. Drapery: Floor-to-ceiling patterned curtains can create a dramatic yet sophisticated effect in both modern and classic interiors.

6. Balanced Styling: If using multiple patterns, maintain a consistent colour palette to ensure a cohesive and curated look rather than an overly busy aesthetic.

As fabric trends continue to evolve, embracing bold patterns, intricate designs, and layered textures offers an exciting way to transform interiors. Whether through the striking depth of Desa, the organic artistry of Casablanca, or the timeless sophistication of Cervo Book, these collections provide endless possibilities for weaving personality and elegance into any space.
