Romantic French Fabrics - Blush Pink

This is the first in my series of posts about fabulous fabrics for French style interiors beginning with Pink. Oh so pretty shades of the softest blush through to deep rose in the perfect Toile de Jouy, faded florals and ticking stripes.

An excellent retailer in England for most of the fabrics mentioned in this post is Fabrics & Papers, they carry a wide range of designers for both fabric and wallpaper.

Just a note: I have compiled these fabric combinations working from images online so please forgive me if in reality they don't work as well together! Most shops are happy to provide swatches.
