New collection: Stroheim UV Pro

Stroheim's latest indoor-outdoor collection, UV Pro, comes with a five-year guarantee against fading. Even if you're not planning a pool party, the mildew- and stain-resistant fabrics will impress. They're ideal for high-traffic indoor areas, like play rooms and kitchen banquettes. Available in 125 design and colors variations, the fabrics are made of solution-dyed acrylic and have a soft hand. Visit Stroheim at the DDB, PDC, DOCTA and DCH.

Product Pick: “Silhouettes” Is in—It's the Shape of Choice

Stroheim’s new Silhouettes wall covering collection pays homage to both classic design and the importance of nature in our world. The collection's natural fibers, clean lines and tonal colors conform to the contemporary ideas of their stated simplicity.

Bold, graphic florals, tropical toiles, dynamic damasks, flowing vine trails, botanical sun prints and small-scale patterns are all hand-silkscreen-printed on traditional grounds like jute, paperweave and sisal.

“Pattern Townsend is a large-scale, energetic damask,” said Jeanette Chen, Stroheim’s director of wall coverings. “It looks so bold in its graphic simplicity and is a superb traditional design with a touch of modern wit.”

Complement Silhouettes with Stroheim’s Artisan Textures, and you’ll have an extensive range of stylish papers for use in virtually any type of décor: traditional, country, tropical or contemporary.

Visit the Stroheim showroom at the DDB, or view the collection at the Fabricut showroom at PDC and DCH or at the Jeffrey Michaels & Co. showroom at DCOTA.

Product Spotlight: Stroheim Goes Bohemian

Inspired by cultures around the world, Stroheim’s new Bohemian Wovens shows off an ethnic vibe with modern interpretations of suzani, ikat, Persian floral and paisley, medallion and exotic patterning.

“Textiles from these regions—Central America, Central Asia, Persia and Japan—are used in today’s interiors as embellishments but also serve as inspiration for dynamic color combinations,” says Nina Butkin, vice president of design for Stroheim. “Our collection marries these popular design traits and balanced palettes while honoring their ethnic origins!”

Bohemian Wovens presents an exciting themed selection of vibrant patterns in vivid, eye-catching,  sophisticated  colors. Patterns include Anthropology-Tangerine, a refreshing twist on a suzani and ikat pattern, and High Sun-Grapefruit, a modern and simplified circular suzani pattern.

Make your way to the Stroheim showroom at the DDB or view the collection at the Fabricut showroom at PDC and DCH or at the Jeffrey Michaels & Co. showroom at DCOTA.

Product Pick: Vervain's La Boheme is Ou-La-La

Named for the opera La Boheme, which tells the story of two young Bohemians living in the Latin quarters of Paris, Vervain's newest fabric gets us thinking "ou-la-la." La Boheme is a free-spirited, exotic embroidery that we wouldn't mind having adorn our space—and couldn't we all use a little more boheme in our lives?

“La Boheme was inspired from a Central Asian Suzani,” said Nina Butkin, vice president of design for Vervain. “We simplified the original motif and placed it in a modern layout.”

The pattern is a modern adaptation of suzani patterning and features harmonious color combinations, including Lemon Meringue, Fiesta, Flamingo, Mosaic Blue and Purple Heather.

“Its color palette is inspired by the pleasing play of warm yellows, greys and taupes against cool greys and cooler yellows,” Nina said. “It adds an interesting palette to modern-traditional interiors.”

You can check out La Boheme in the Fabricut showroom at the PDC and DCH, in the Stroheim showroom at the DDB and in Jeffrey Michaels & Co. at the DCOTA.

Product Spotlight: Stroheim Marries Linen & Embroidery

We love Stroheim for its fashionable fabrics, trimmings and wallcoverings, and were delighted to see the brand’s new line marrying two prominent fashion elements: linen and embroidery.

”It’s the combination of embroidery on linen that upholds Stroheim's classic style," said a Company representative. "Since this came out, I've been planning where in my own home I'll be wanting this fabric—it's too irresistible!"

Each design explores different types of embroidery stitched in harmony with the design it’s creating. The new collection features 13 designs in various linen weights and textures crafted in fresh and timely colors.

Jeffrey Michaels Showroom Shines in the Face of Adversity

The showroom was formed the year after Hurricane Andrew blew through Florida in 1992 by dynamic duo, Diana and Michael Feibelman.

Jeffrey Michaels was first as an intimate 1,900 square feet showroom with a handful of wallcovering and fabric lines.

They moved to a 5,500 square feet showroom in order to accommodate their rapidly growing collection, which now included Fabricut, S. Harris, Vervain and Stroheim, Hartmann & Forbes.

Yet again, they are expanding to a renovated space, now 7,700 square feet, which will have a grand re-opening party on December 8 to celebrate their wonderful world of design.

Save the date and we hope to see you there!

Stroheim's New Blue and White Simplicity

Stroheim’s new Blue & White collection of wallcoverings, prints and wovens celebrate the ever popular, timeless color combination of blue and white. Our blues range from bright cobalt, classic navy and rich marine to delightful delphinium, warm lapis and pretty periwinkle; juxtaposed against brilliant white, linen or subtle ivory. Blue and white – one of the world’s most beloved decorating schemes – creates looks that are fresh and crisp with a classic appeal. Stroheim fabrics, trimmings and wallcoverings are now available at Fabricut.
