Exotic Designs

 

Do you hear the mystique of the Orient calling? Maybe it's the cool rush of a waterfall crashing upon rocks, or the sounds and movement of the deep and wild jungle. Exotic designs bring accents of strange and exciting places to invigorate your interior designs.

 
From Vintage Florals to the Rainforest Collection. Season after season, Waverly has created the patterns, colors and designs in fabrics and wall coverings, paints and rugs, lamps and dinnerware to create interiors inspired by far-away places that feel right at home. Now, Waverly style is offered in the decorative drapery hardware collectons from Kirsch.   Waverly
Pasadena Showcase House of Design   For this guest cabana on the grounds of the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, Silent Gliss' Panel Glide System was chosen as a room-dividing application rather than a window treatment. Unlimited stacking possibilities and profiles with various numbers of sliding channels allow the panels to be drawn in different positions to provide privacy or openness. Silent Gliss' systems operate by hand, cord or electrically by means of a wall switch or remote. Designers: Michaela Scherrer and Rozalynn Woods.
The textures and colors of the jungle influence this living room dressed in the fabrics of the Rainforest Collection from Waverly. Roaming about on the window treatment and pillows, these animals of Congo are straight from the wild. Congo coordinates beautifully with the bamboo shades. Sinking into the sofa and pillows, you will feel like you have been transported to the African tropics. The chair in Tribal Tapestry has a look of hand-painted textile with geometric design in a grid layout featuring uneven stripes. It completes the mood that is a stunning and exotic design.   Waverly
ADO   Inspired by the Orient, this style of window treatment brings harmony to any home. To achieve this exotic look, ask for ADO's design 4150 in color 11. This enchanting organza-based fabric is embroidered in bronze, gold and ivory. As with all ADO fabrics, this design comes with a five-year guarantee to be machine washable, dimensionally stable, flawless and colorfast.
