Like the lady herself…flawless, flirty and ferociously feminine…oh, and incredibly smart too! The partnership between Jaclyn Smith and Trend Fabrics began in 2008 and to date has become the biggest and most successful fabric and trimming lines for Trend. After years of building her brand of home goods through Kmart, Jaclyn Smith drove headlong into designer fabric. To some, it may appear she was putting the cart in front of a galloping horse. In reality, her desire to build her Jaclyn Smith Home collection is in keeping with her own advice. "I always tell my children, 'Go toward the fear. Go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is.'" Although it was not fear that brought Jaclyn Smith fabric to Trend, it was definitely a big step towards the water's edge. With a textile industry gone wild with celebrity designers, it would take a strong and unique professional like Jaclyn Smith to make a new home fabric collection stand out.
Although Jaclyn Smith Home is not launching a new line, it is the best time of year to be prudent when it comes to fall decorating. Step away from the trendy e-zines, and revisit some classic colors and patterns. Inspired by historical documents and original artwork, Jaclyn Smith fabrics are an elegant staple in your home decorating bag of tricks. The affordability factor also plays a role when you have multiple interior design projects and a definitive budget.
"With Trend Fabrics, we are able to create a high-end look at an exceptional value without compromising style, beauty and design inspiration," says Jaclyn. The entire collection of more than 400 patterns is available now .
Pattern 02133 in metallic Ocean, Wheat, Sesame, Fudge or Dune translates to "gorgeous" and "extravagant" while still being palatable for your purse. Pair it with an understated Spa color in either 01852 or 01844 pattern. Try an over-the-top large-scale floral in Peacock, pattern 01834 to balance the shimmer and add interest and conversation. Don't forget texture rich pillows with some elegant fringes (01874 and 01873) and twist cords (02107) to complete your affordable, luxury design. Above all, do not assume affordable home decorating means you must curb your creativity. Take a page from Jaclyn Smith and lean over the edge…just enough to get excited about design again.
