New Year, New Fabrics from Duralee with Eileen Kathryn Boyd

A Fresh & Bold Story from 
Eileen Kathryn Boyd's 
Volume II Collection with Duralee Fabrics
The start of the New Year has begun, and with all this newness I like to add a little bit of color to our home to brighten up the space and begin the new year on a vibrant note.  I love seeing some of the new home fabric collections rolling hot off the press for 2015.  Interior designer Eileen Kathryn Boyd does not shy away from vivid colors and patterns, and it is refreshing to see how she combines it together in a sophisticated package.  I met Boyd a few years ago at the Hampton Designer Show house when I profiled her tricked-out pool house showcasing her design talent and new fabric collection with Duralee fabric.  This season she debuts another delightful collection with Duralee, Volume II.  Boyd created a bold spectrum of colors for this new collection offering myriad modern prints and on-point designs.  Taking cues from the natural world with colors such as Turquoise and Kiwi, her shades are crisp and delightful.  Since color sets the tone of the room, let's see what Boyd has in store for 2015...



Happy Nesting  
XO Tamara
