With a very important role to play in any room, and with a plethora of choices, today we're talking about fabric. I am soon to undertake a flat renovation and I'll admit, the decisions and choices are already overwhelming and I haven't even begun to think about fabrics. My thought is that advice and inspiration from the pros are a must!
You may have caught our article, Which White Works, where we asked Interior Designers their favourite white paint to use in their project. So we asked a number of brilliant Interior Designers their favourite fabric, whether patterned or plain, here they are... and they did not disappoint.
