Flying high

Birds of a feather are flocking into the fabric forest with parrots, peacocks and vibrant finches all part of a resplendent reverie that is on the rise. While true maximalists remain in the minority on our shores, overseas designers of drapery and upholstery fabrics, for example the Swiss design house Christian Fischbacher or Christian Lacroix Maison, are keen on coaxing birdlife indoors. Exotic plumage makes a statement that breaks free of cool conservatism. For those willing to make brave moves with decoration, these luscious botanical/bird patterns are a luxurious escape. If you prefer simpler more minimal looks, a cushion or an ottoman topped with a feathered flourish makes a good starting point. If you’re not the birdy type, primitive prints will bring the animalia attitude home in a more subtle style.
