Today we will tell you how to do this with the new collection of royal fabrics of the famous brand. Just the other day, a new collection of unique fabrics arrived in the Manders chain of wall decor stores. Literally royal. The Designers Guild team, headed by designer Tricia Guild, who is the founder of this brand, worked on its creation.
Royal Castle
St. CollectionJames is named after the famous English castle, which is considered the oldest in Great Britain. It was built back in 1531-1536 and, by order of King Henry VIII, became the official residence for many generations of members of the royal family.
Touch of history
Since Designers Guild is a subsidiaryThe Royal Collection of Fabrics and Wallpapers, which unlike other companies has access to the residences of the British royal family, gave the designers the opportunity to visit this castle to experience the real palace atmosphere. They walked through the chambers where the most important historical events once took place. They were able to touch objects from the Tudor era and contemplate the elegant decor of the walls, fireplaces, furniture, and a collection of portraits of royal persons. All this was reflected in the spirit of the St. James fabric collection and harmoniously integrated into the trends that are relevant in design today.
Luxury and gloss
The designers decided that damask and silkEmbroidered fabrics, velvet jacquard and brocade will perfectly reflect and convey the atmosphere that they managed to feel in the oldest castle in England. In addition to this textile, there are companion fabrics (solid-colored). These are soft wool flannel, raw silk and thick velveteen. Our opinion: - If you decide to decorate your interior in a classic or English style, then you should definitely pay attention to the fabrics of St. James. For example, the Tudor Trellis, Henry Brocatelle or Kensington Brocade lines, created under the impression of the ceremonial suits of Henry VIII. They are distinguished by complex embroidery and ornaments traditional for the Tudor house. Flora lovers will certainly like the Court Flower, Windsor Great Park and St. George lines. They abound in floral motifs and elegant patterns. To create a special, luxurious atmosphere, textiles from the Holyrood, Stuart Damask, Boleyn, Savigny lines will come in handy. A strict and reserved interior will be achieved if you use Wessex, Regent Taffeta and Barathea fabrics. They are very elegant and pleasing to the eye.
In contrast
As for shades, you can find them hererich colors of dark wood, juicy garnet, mysterious sapphires and tourmalines. They are favorably shaded by silver, gold, cool tones of natural linen and ivory. Moreover, all the textiles presented in the collection complement each other in terms of color.
Where to buy?
In Russia, new fabrics from the St. collection.James is officially represented in the Manders chain of stores. Many people are used to thinking that this company's range includes only wallpapers from English brands. In fact, the choice of finishing materials in Manders is much wider, for example, here you can find tiles, textiles, cornices and plaster moldings from brands such as Little Greene, Sanderson, Bradite, Paint Library, Designers Guild, Farrow&Ball. Our opinion: - The palace style of the interior is not suitable for all spaces. It looks more advantageous in large spaces, in rooms that are not limited by square meters. This is due to the use of massive furniture, many decorative elements (for example, such as moldings), works of art, multi-layered long curtains.
