The finest fabrics and wallpapers represent an investment as much as a pleasure and, like any sound investment, stand the test of time. Colefax and Fowler's beautiful 2009 collection bears all the hallmarks of classic design: a broad palette of subtle colour, ranging from expansive florals to neat geometrics, and a rich selection of textures including linens and chenilles, as well as sumptuous silk and delicate embroideries with a hand-crafted feel. Offering an impressive range of decorative looks from the traditional to the more contemporary, this collection is versatile and harmonious, perfectly encapsulating the restrained elegance long associated with Colefax and Fowler.
