Beacon Hill’s Captivating Collection: Midnight Garden

Moonlight Garden is Beacon Hill’s latest foray into an enchanting and magical world. Inspired by romantic naturalism, the belief that nature itself is a work of art, each textile in the Moonlight Garden collection depicts a mysterious and enticing narrative of vibrant flora and fauna. To create these stunning fabrics, Beacon Hill adapted several historic French and English document. These paintings harken back to the Arts & Crafts (1860s – 1900) and Art Nouveau (1880s -1918) movements which both sought to elevate everyday objects to an art form by applying the highest standards of craftsmanship to each design. These timeless prints will add a sense of mystery to any style of decor. Read more and become inspired to transform your home with the Midnight Garden Collection!

Moon Blossom

Leading the collection is Moon Blossom, a stylized floral print that originated from a French Document. The original painting is believed to have been created by a member of the  William Morris guild, which spearheaded the Arts & Crafts movement in England. The document features sparrows and pheasants singing to one another from tulip and flowering tree branches. The floating floral islands were expanded and the birds removed to create an all-over floral that is both modern and timeless. This knockout textile will make a bold statement in a refined and artistic home.

Hidden Temple

A 19th Century hand-painted gouache document, Hidden Temple is a beautiful Chinoiserie fabric depicting a tropical forest surrounding Asian pagodas and bridges. Although the design itself has not been altered, Hidden Temple has been given a fresh interpretation with moody cobalt blue and lime green color. This document is a testament to the enduring appeal of a classic Chinoiserie.

Lioness

Inspired by a miniature hand painted hunting scene from the late 19th century, this French artwork has been transformed into a brilliant print that emphasizes the details of the background and the foliage. Beacon Hill’s design team replaced  the indigenous hunters with more vegetation and a few birds, rendering this colonial design applicable for contemporary decor and highlighting the lion as the central figure.

Enchanted Vine

This Jacobean style floral print has been expanded from its more compact predecessor, an early 20th Century English striped screen print.

A Sea of Embroidery

What was once considered an art or craft, embroidery is now being done by machines. Today’s embroidery is a little different from that seen in the past, thread is being replaced with beads, pearls, sequins, crystals and even metal strips. The basic stitch is becoming more intricate and the fabrics more luxurious.

Embroidered fabrics, once only available to those with means, can now be enjoyed by the masses. The beautiful patterns and colors are countless with options from manufacturers like Beacon Hill, Duralee, Highland Court, Robert Allen, Ralph Lauren, Scalamandre, Schumacher and more. Take a look at some of our embroidered fabrics below.

Trend Alert: Chevrons

One man’s herringbone, is another man’s chevron, but either way this hot trend isn’t going anywhere. Today we wanted to focus on the chevron pattern, which many think is just a modern twist on the traditional herringbone look.  This zig-zag pattern has been seen on everything from wallpaper to pillows. The great thing about this bold design is that it works well in a variety of different types of rooms. Whether you are wanting a traditional or a more contemporary style the chevron pattern will add an element of sophistication to the space.
