Durban - By adding new cushions, re-covering a chair, hanging new curtains or papering a wall, you can give your home a fresh new look – without having to endure a total revamp.
Whether you want to update a children’s room or give your lounge a makeover, Hertex Fabrics has most of the answers.
Turning heads right now is the elegant collection of wall coverings and rich textiles recently launched by import brands, Linwood Fabrics and Wallpapers.
Capturing the glamorous appeal of the roaring Twenties, Metropolis is comprised of an eclectic and unusual mix of patterns in a moody, jewel-tone palette.
A selection of 10 textiles, in opulent and detailed designs, comes in rich colour ways of gold, dark purple, black, mustard and royal teal and green.
The fabrics are unified in their decadent look and feel, but the art deco-inspired geometric motif, bird and foliage designs, repeated damask, and scalloped pattern inspired by heavy theatre curtains, lend a playful and magical quality to the collection.
The fabric selection includes embossed and sculptured velvets, metallic foil printing, and woven silks. Perfectly complementing the fabrics is the range of dramatic wall coverings, available in four unique designs. Interesting motifs, including a faded baroque, leaf pattern, bird and floral design and a geometric pattern, make up the wallpaper collection.
For decorators wanting something a little more up-to-date and funky, there’s the Futuro collection.
The cut-pile velvet collections, with off-beat geometric designs, were designed and woven in Europe to the highest specifications.
Teenagers and the young at heart will delight in the Fandango range with its polka dots, gingham checks and multi-coloured stripes.
Look out for fresh, pastel shades printed on a crisp snowy ground, fully washable and 280cm wide.
Find all these ranges and more at the local Hertex showroom which is at 482 Lilian Ngoyi (Windermere) Road, Morningside.
