A laid-back Mediterranean look with Portofino

Vibrant colourways and a contemporary feel

If you’re a fan of stripes, checks and small-scale weave designs that give a luxury feel with a touch of laid-back living then the Portofino Collection from Prestigious Textiles is a range of fabrics you should consider for your home. As Prestigious put it themselves, Portofino is, “An ode to the jewel in Italy’s crown of resorts that incorporates a sophisticated range of showcasing pops of colour, encapsulating the rugged Italian coastline. Emulating the vibrant colourways of the Italian Riviera, cobalt blues, vibrant citrons, and soft pastel palettes take centre stage, inspired by high fashion. Muted grey and natural hues complement Portofino’s vibrant colourways for a contemporary take on the laid-back Mediterranean look.” As the mix of fabrics on the throw cushions below demonstrate, Portofino is a collection which feels almost restrained and conservative but has enough interest in textures and subtle patterns to hold your interest.

The crisp tartan design of the Alassio range for instance comes in four different colourways all moody enough to be mixed and matched with one another in tones that compliment and don’t clash. When combined with a fabric like Vernazza in Coral with its repeat diamond pattern, and the stunning symmetry of the herringbone weave in Sienna it’s a great collection for mixing and matching every fabric together to create an eclectic fashion forward vibe. Everything works better together in this collection so be prepared to combine tones and patterns to make the most of Portofino.

A statement chair upholstered in Alassio Raspberry as shown above feels like tailored cloth with contrasting piping detail that picks out the warmer colourway to give a sophisticated feel. Combined with the Riva Fabric on a throw cushion in a matching colourway gives a gorgeous combination of texture and pattern which offers a look that stays subdued and timeless.

Rapallo in Denim as a polycotton linen weave is the ideal fabric for curtains. As pictured below the combination of blues provides the perfect backdrop for an airy, modern room whilst allowing the window area to feel grounded and framed. So, if you’re feeling inspired and you’d like to find out how the Portofino collection could help you create some Mediterranean charm in your design scheme why not get in touch?
