Decorating with Prints

Adding a splash of color to an otherwise neutral room easily transforms it into a warm, welcoming space. Instead of plain light fixtures in this white-on-white kitchen, a lively floral fabric was added, giving the room character. The rosy floral pops against the starkness of the room giving it warmth and life.<br><br> China Seas, available to the trade through Ernest Gaspard & Associates, ADAC, (404) 233-8645. This bench with traditional spindle legs goes wild with a graphic zebra print. Easily transform a classically styled piece of furniture by upholstering it in an unexpected print. Perfect if you're wary of using pattern in your decor, simply add a single printed piece for big impact. <br><br>Bench: Zanzibar Onyx<br><br> Lee Industries is available at South of Market, (404) 995-9399; and Bungalow (404) 367-8522. Part of the Spring collection from Brunschwig & Fils, these patterns work together to form a cohesive look and all the while making a statement of their own. To mix multiple prints in one room, use those with a similar color scheme to create a classic, put-together look. The dark woodwork and floors ground the prints, creating tremendous balance.<br><br> Draperies: Menars Border Cotton Print, Aqua<br><br> Ottoman: Berkley Ottoman in Tamerlane Cotton Print, Aquamarine<br><br> Pillow (Diamond): Viceroy Strie, Aquamarine<br><br> Available to the trade through Brunschwig & Fils at ADAC, (404) 261-5116. An island-inspired color palette will brighten any room in your home - whether it is on the shore or inside the city.

When mixing two dramatic prints, less is more. In a room with floral drapes, one other piece and a chair with a large print - complements the striking floral pattern, without overwhelming. Light fabrics, such as cotton and linen, work best. To offset the ample prints, striped wallpaper was used to give the otherwise feminine room a modern, unexpected edge.<br><br> Draperies: <br>Enchanted, Pink<br><br> Chair upholstery: <br> Siddhartha, Dill<br><br> Wallcovering: <br>Savannah Stripe, Clear Blue/Green<br><br> Tyler Hall is available to the trade through Grizzle & Mann, ADAC, (404) 261-5932.
