Kravet Fabrics, Inc.
Barbara Barry and Kravet Introduce Watercolors
Kravet is pleased to announce Barbara Barry’s new fabric, trimming and wall covering collections. Inspired by the soothing hues of watercolor paintings, these elegant collections combine palette, pattern and texture in a manner that once again demonstrates the timelessness of Barbara Barry’s signature style.

Barbara Barry for kravet collections began this three-part premiere with the creation of Watercolors, a four-book fabric color set rendered in Barbara’s classic palettes of Lavender/Quartz, Limestone/Oyster, Peridot and Seaglass. Mind, nuanced and eminently livable, these gentle hues can blend or stand alone, creating a mood that is as balanced as it is enchanting.

As Barbara says, “The palette is grounded in my love of soft and subtle hues and the collection mingles quality and luxury in a new way, assembling exceptional fabrics from all over the world.”

To complement this wondrous collection of fabrics, Barbara also imbued her Watercolor trimming collections with similar shades of salt and oyster, sea glass and peridot, shell and rosewater, amethyst and espresso. The collection offers classic trimmings of great beauty, such as cords, tassels, loops, rouches and overlays. It also reflects nature’s inspiration by including pearls, coral beads and seashells along with sea sprig braid designs and boucle yarns with an opalescent shine.

Finally, the new wall covering line, Elegant Walls, debuting later this year, will help interior designers blend the shades of drapery, furniture and walls with incomparable ease.While including more graphic patterns, such as Modern Damask and Chic Link, the collection, like its complementary fabrics and trimmings, extracts from the beauty of nature. Each wall covering is all fully trimmed and able to be wiped.

All three collections share something in common; they are easy to live with in any setting. With mild colors and artful designs, these introductions will make the creation of elegant interiors as calming and enjoyable as life itself should be.

Architectural Ceramics
Changing the way people look at tile, Architectural Ceramics was founded some 25 years ago. The benchmarks created then—our Brand today— were and are, “service and selection.” We are dedicated to providing the finest selection of products with unsurpassed professional customer service. In a recent interview our owners, the Sullivan’s, stated, “We have learned that we never stop caring. Each transaction is personal no matter how big we become. Our business is all about people and relationships.” New products are arriving continuously as we add the newest in fashion to our large assortments. Our clients immediately get the “hit”—if you can’t find it with us, then it’s not available. We also have the largest selection of specialty tiles, trims, borders, field tiles, mosaics and crowns.

It’s no wonder the Washingtonian dubbed us, “where the architects and designers shop,” along with being voted “favorite tile dealer” in Home & Design Sourcebook’s first annual designer’s survey. See for yourself with collections, like our Scalini stone available in mosaic, standard sizes and moldings shown here by Artistic Tile. We invite you to stop by Suite C10 and experience our outstanding selection of products for all your surface needs, inside or outside. Whether ceramic, porcelain tile, marble, natural stone, granite, glass or metal, we have the tile for you. Sonia, Sarah & Veronica Suite C10, 202.554.8719

Paris Ceramics
Paris Ceramics is known for our unrivaled ancient and modern limestones, marbles and terracottas. We are pleased to offer our new Blue Gray Riverwash Limestone. The texture is achieved by applying highly pressurized water to the stone; in this case, we use our Blue Bateig limestone. The force of the H2O gives it a “river washed” rippled appearance, which has a softer appearance than some of the other finishes we offer. To learn more about our limestones and to see a sampling of our collection, visit our showroom. Suite C23, 202.554.3500
