French Connection
In case you missed it, European fashion brand French Collection expanded their offerings to include home décor last year. Now, the brand is launching their spring/summer 2019 home collection, available online and in stores April 30. The line includes bedding, pillows, and rugs—everything you need to transition your home from winter to summer in style.
"We're absolutely delighted with our latest collection of bed linen and accompanying accessory programme for spring/summer 2019," Catharine Denham, the head of homeware for French Connection, tells MyDomaine. "With a 300 thread count cotton percale for a crisp, luxurious feel and designs that continue our signature pared-back aesthetic, our stunning range of considered textiles will match effortlessly with all interiors' styles."
According to Denham, texture is a major part of the collection, as seen in the pillows, rugs, and throws. "My designs are much inspired by local craft techniques as well as artisan traditions worldwide—often with a nod to contemporary trends," the designer shares.
She admits that she enjoys experimenting with color and composition, specifically when it comes to the Indian rugs found in the line. "When changing the balance of pattern and applying modern techniques, such as distressing and overdyeing, you can never quite predict the final outcome," Denham notes. "Thankfully, they've turned out beautifully and make for truly unique pieces to compliment any home."
