Duralee really seems to like going big lately in their prints. I'm bringing in a trie of Ikat/ Kilim type prints called Dalesford. Dalesford features a 13.5" x 13.5" size abstract design that seems to be paying a little bit of a tribute to the classic arabesques of old but retaining a mid-century modern feel to it. These prints are printed on a linen/ cotton cloth that is 55% linen and 45% cotton. You get a slight linen texture from the blend, but the overall effect is lightweight and breathable.
As for the pattern, Duralee seems to be going for maximum impact. Whether you choose to use Dalesford for draperies, upholstery, or pillows, there is nothing understated about the scale and the stark contrasts, which play with light and draw the eye into the grainy print texture. From a distance the pattern almost looks woven into the cloth.
It's easy to see why this and Loop de Loop were the cornerstones of the Walton Exclusive Prints Collection, they continue Duralee's run of trend forward designs at reachable prices.
