			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And I am definitely a material girl – that is, I love gorgeous fabrics! A rich, dramatic print can transform a room, brightening up a pale palette, injecting life and color, and drawing the eye to focal pieces within the space. I adore upholstering sofas or chairs in an unexpectedly vibrant print to add contrast in a room of neutrals, or experimenting with bold curtains or bedlinen. And these days I&#8217;m loving the kind of prints and patterns that are just screaming out to be noticed!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Picture-71.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1228" title="Picture 7" src="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Picture-71.png" alt="" width="490" height="362" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">(Source: <a href="http://www.tulutextiles.com/" target="_blank">Tulu Textiles</a>)</span></p>
<p>The fabrics on the bed above come from a design house called Tulu, which specializes in bold, bright prints and hues. So many of these beautiful prints are inspiring me these days. I especially like the rich shades they use. Used against a crisp white background, the colors ‘pop’ even more, creating a really spectacular effect.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tulu-blues.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1217" title="tulu blues" src="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tulu-blues.jpg" alt="" width="481" height="366" /></a></p>

<p>One of the other companies I’m really loving right now is Les Indiennes, which produces a line inspired by the colors and shapes of India.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/basket-of-prints.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1219" title="basket of prints" src="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/basket-of-prints.jpg" alt="" width="454" height="440" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">(Source: <a href="http://www.lesindiennes.com/flip_book.html" target="_blank">Les Indiennes</a>)</span></p>
<p>The great thing about prints like these is that they can really infuse a room with personality, even one with a simple, rustic décor. I’ve fallen for the rich, saturated hues, the beautiful patterns, and the pretty linen-like backgrounds.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/deep-red-rpint.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1220" title="deep red rpint" src="http://amithaverma.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/deep-red-rpint.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="522" /></a></p>

<p>I love the patterns too – especially the paisley prints, which are so reminiscent of traditional Indian designs. Even in the simplest of color combinations, they look so elegant!</p>
