The Shade Store, the leading brand for premium custom window treatments, announces the expansion of its exclusive collection of fabrics for Drapery, Roman Shades and Cornices developed with Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The new, texture-rich assortment reflects the celebrated interior designer’s love of the desert landscape in Palm Springs, California. It builds upon his successful debut collection with The Shade Store, this time offering custom window treatment solutions in sophisticated neutral tones to complement the color-rich designs of his debut.
The new collection reflects Bullard’s life-long love of natural weaves and textiles and showcases his signature luxe aesthetic through quality craftsmanship, sumptuous fabrics, and creative nods to 20th century art and design icons. Standout materials include soft tweeds, linens, cozy wovens, and fabrics sewn with carefully assembled abstract shapes. Designed to balance character and charm with the versatility to complement any decor scheme, Bullard sees this neutral-hued offering as a “new frontier” in his design portfolio.
The Martyn Lawrence Bullard collection for The Shade Store collection includes the following styles:
- Desert Tweed – Reminiscent of the revolutionary textures introduced to the fashion world by Coco Chanel, the soft handle of this material allows it to drape in the way a fine gown would glide upon the runways of a Parisian fashion show.
- Andreas – Abstract yet utterly chic, this material resembles a painting by Kandinsky, Mondrian, or Calder: works of art seen in many of the famous mid-century homes of Palm Springs.
- Mirador – The undulating sands of the high desert are reflected in this fabric, which embraces luxe texture for a look that’s classic and undeniably chic.
- Cactus Weave – In the 1960s, when American icon William ‘Billy’ Haines designed Sunnylands, the most famous interior in the Coachella Valley, he covered the windows and walls in magnificent textures and fabrics. Cactus Weave brings the movement, depth, and understated luxury of those materials to today’s interiors.
