Classic

Furniture has been designed for both comfort and beauty. Fabric and paint add artistic character. Choosing a piece of printed furniture can be compared to adding artwork to a room.  It can be an upholstered chair or a painted chest. There are a myriad of choices which will add warmth and charisma to your room. Printed furniture will always be a classic because without it we lose a little of our spirit of expression. Georgine O’Donnell, O’Designs

Certainly in classic or traditional spaces we will always see printed fabrics. Currently, within the rising popularity of natural and organic inspired interiors, we see prints much less in chairs and mostly in pillows or wall art. Context and purpose matters. It’s not a question of if it’s in or out. Rather, does it serve a purpose or a look? Almost anything made fresh, updated and intentional can be made current, including printed and patterned fabrics in chairs and elsewhere. Dana King, Dana King Design Build Remodeling

Printed furniture is classic. Furniture pieces can be functional canvases for art. A printed piece makes a great accent in a room and mixes well with other styles and periods. An old piece of furniture can be brought to life again by adding a print. Linda Kusmer, Interior Design Consultant

We love to use patterns and prints in design, and a great place to launch a design scheme is by using printed furniture. Printed furniture patterns come in every shape, scale, size and color and are a perfect way to transform a space into a vibe. It can be used sparingly, such as a piece or two, or in a maximalist way with all furniture pieces having some sort of print. Printed furniture is a design element that will be used for a very long time, which makes it a classic. Barbara Collins, Barbara Collins Interior Design
