As I briefly have mentioned before, I am working on a large interior design project in Charleston. I flew in in January to help my client select flooring, plumbing and lighting fixtures. In June, construction began and the house is coming along beautifully. I am always amazed at the progress when I run up to check on it. Project wise, we are starting to get into the really fun stuff… paint colors/wallpaper/furnishings/fabrics.
The other day, while searching for wallpaper, I ran across Schumacher’s Hot House Flowers, color Spark. Instantly, I knew it was the perfect fabric for the project. My client loves large scale florals. We are using a variety of golds and yellows throughout the home and Hot House Flowers will be a terrific way to tie in the colors being used throughout. It will also bring in pattern and introduce new colors into the space. I am really excited to see where this goes! I am currently space planning, fabric selection will be next…
Hot House Flower Inspirations from around the web…

I really love it paired with the contrasting geometrics above.

Sarah Richardson used it to upholster two side chairs in the master bedroom ofher farmhouse renovation
I love all of the colors in the Spark colorway. It makes it easy to introduce new colors into a space.
In addition to the orange, blue and golds of Spark, it comes in two additional colors:
Hot House Flowers, color Mineral

Mineral, which combines soft, soothing neutrals of Blue and Tan, or…
Hot House Flowers, color Verdance

Verdance, a fresh combination of lush greens and creams.
In my opinion, a little Hot House Flowers goes a long way. I will probably use it in the form of pillows in my project.
Where would you use it? Which color do you prefer?

The spark colorway is one of my all time favorites. I’ve been in love ever since I saw it in Sarah’s House. Great choice!

The Spark colorway is also my preference, and I think it is absolutely PERFECT on the two side chairs shown.
WoW, do I love the green!
I can totally picture this fabric upholstering a bed-wall, a fabulous tall, caned bed in front of it (that I have!), with french commodes on each side, holding a pair of vintage alabaster lamps (that I also have!)! Can you see it too?!?

This fabric is beautiful. Schumacher really knows what they are doing! I love all the color ways, and depending on the client, I would use it on a chair, or draperies, or simply just on some pillows. Look forward to seeing what you do with it Elizabeth!!

I love florals mixed with geometrics,
but whencver i pick out a ready made panel pair,( I work at a home decorating store) Everyone tells me they look like grandma curtains, so then I dont buy anything. I always listen to other people, even if I love something. The photos above are so pretty.
I love this fabric and just returned the sample today as a matter of fact in the spark. I do love it in the mineral as Tobi Fairley has in her master above. That room is really prettier in person than in the Trad Home photos. of course I do love the green as well. Great pick!

One of my all-time favorites, such great colors and pattern. I think I would use it for beautiful drapery panels if I ever had the opportunity. I can’t wait to see more of this project and how you’ll use this fabric and color palette.
