A graphic geometric statement with the Ezra Collection

Give a nod to 70s fashion with bold geometric patterns

Looking back at 1970s interiors many people’s minds might instantly go to chocolate brown and vivid orange colour schemes which can feel overwhelming and inappropriate to a modern aesthetic.

But as mentioned in a recent Homes article by Vogue.com 1970s Interior Design is trending once again; “The 70s was a great era for textured fabrics, geometric shapes and patterns along with multi-use and free-flowing spaces like sunken living rooms, room dividers, and upholstered seating. Hallmarks of 1970s design include bringing nature indoors, materials like velvet and rattan, and patterned wallpaper.”

And this is where a collection like Ezra from Prestigious Textiles comes into play. It’s range of fabrics alludes to the 70s revival with graphic geometrics in modern, statement colours and optical illusion effects, across chenille and satin jacquards. A distinctive element is created within this collection with sculpted chenille fabrics giving a raised look and multi-weave techniques to incorporate texture. Enriched with small scale geometric prints, the designs feature energetic and contrasting hues from mustard yellows to cornflower blues.

Ezra - graphic geometrics in modern, statement colours

A key focus of this collection has been to give a nod to the 70s in colours which feel contemporary and suited to the way we live today. The dark green sofa for instance shown above upholstered in the Leon Dragonfly Chenille works to really balance the statement curtains in the Abel Honey Chevron pattern which is a direct reference to a 70s Missoni print.

If you’re someone that’s not afraid to mix patterns for an added element of interest, then upholstering a sofa in Quinn Dragonfly as below against curtains in Luca Dragonfly coordinates key colour elements but provides enough of a clash to keep things interesting.

 It’s all about being bold enough to take a chance with playful patterns and colourways which are undeniably vibrant and illuminating. But the best direction to go in with these fabrics is to use them in a more minimal scheme where all other elements are kept subtle and even a little stark.

Keep other elements cool and calm to let the Ezra collection take centre stage

As the chairs in the hallway area demonstrate above – these are fabrics that need their own moment to shine, so think about painting walls white or in pale neutrals, keep flooring natural and introduce metal accents in a mix of black and brass to make this look feel curated and not cluttered. When it comes to Ezra – the fabric is the design hero of this interiors story so allow them to take centre stage.
