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.

How To Pull Off Matching Wallpaper and Fabric

Coordinating fabric and wallpaper has become a hot new trend in home design. This unified look creates a cohesiveness within the space, allowing a particular print or pattern to be carried throughout all aspects of the room.

When matching wallpaper and fabric, it is important not to overstimulate the senses.

The soft shade of the fabric and wallpaper really helps to open up the space, conveying consistency in design.

We love the fluidity of matching the drapery and wallpaper. It’s hard to tell where one begins and the other ends.

If you are looking for something a little less bold try wallpapering an accent wall and then reintroduce the print with coordinating curtains.

Perfect Match

Perfect Match

Matching wallpaper and fabric unifies key design elements. Fresh colors brighten and enlarge a small angular room or make a large open space feel cozy. It is important to balance the colors and design within the fabric and wallpaper with the amount used. If you select a light color or soft pattern it will not feel overwhelming to use a substantial amount, especially in a large area. However, if you have a smaller space and want to choose bold patterns, it is best to use moderation and balance the intensity of the wallpaper and fabric with solids and accent colors. Follow these suggestions for a polished and inviting home.

Light Colors & Lovely Spaces

When matching your walls with large furniture, select soft colors and open patterns. The trellis pattern and natural light makes this charming sitting room feel light and airy. Adding dark accent furniture and bright colors enriches the effect of combining Scalamandre’s “Jour de Juin” wallpaper and fabric. Try incorporating the same pattern in a different color as accent pillows or chairs for an updated look. Another great pattern that will create the same poised ambiance as the “Jour de Juin” is Scalamandre’s “Floreale.”

Toile Tricks

Toile, originally known as Toile de Jouy, has a long history. First printed on linen in Jouy, France during the Middle Ages, toile was popularized by King Louis XIV. As block print techniques and international trading improved the print transformed from the traditional repeating pastoral scene to today’s more subtle bucolic imagery.

Hang toile wallpaper in a small room with low angular ceilings and pair it with toile drapery and bedding for a country French look. The white and blue palette of Clarke & Clarke’s “Helena – Wedgwood” will lighten a small dark space. Repeating toile fabric and wallpaper throughout unifies all design elements and creates the illusion of a larger area.

Modern Unions

Update the wallpaper fabric union with geometric and trellis prints. Edgy designs such as Schumacher’s “Imperial Trellis,” “Chain Link,” and “Zimba,” in neutral colors cover both walls and furniture with a modern twist. Keep the look fresh by adding pinch pleat drapes and bedding in solid colors that play off of the wallpaper. Use the matching fabric minimally to ensure the decor is sleek and understated.

Double Date

Play with coordinating prints on your walls and upholstery. Hang a checked wallpaper on an accent wall to offset the floral wallpaper and fabric in the room. Then combine the corresponding fabrics as drapery, upholstery, and pillows on a day bed. This allows the two styles to interact seamlessly within the room. Blend them together by using the same colors for both the checked and floral fabrics and wallpapers. Like a successful double date, this playful combination is cheerful and welcoming.

Bold Is Beautiful

Bold is beautiful in life, fashion, and decor. Express yourself with large bold prints adorning your walls and accenting your furniture. The key to successfully decorating with matching large scale fabric and wallpaper is to use it generously. Use Schumacher‘s extraordinary “Chiang Mai Dragon – China Blue” to create exotic focal points throughout the room. Create a truly special statement room in your house using a bold pattern you covet for both the walls and the furniture. This fall go big and go home.
