Fabric Finds: Red and Aqua

Inspired by Camille’s post about the beautiful red dahlias she put in her aqua vase, I started looking for red and aqua fabric and I found these great Premier Print samples on Fabric.com:

Mixing in some other colors and fabrics might work::

What a fun cheery room this would be!  Or maybe something calmer like this:

Or maybe mix in some pink for a little girl’s room:

    I haven’t used this combo before, but I think I’m liking it. Red is always a favorite of mine, and the aqua really tones it down.

      I love that you love red!

    Wow! You found some great looking fabrics. Especially like the Suzani one. I have always loved using both colors, but never together. I am more of a hot pink and turquoise girl myself.

      Thanks so much Heather. I have so much admiration for people who go for it with color. I am such a chicken! Hot pink and turquoise is gorgeous…

    My daughter would LOVE this combo (she hates pink and loves turquoise) – just perfect for a tween (and adults too). :)

      I’m with your daughter! I was never a big fan of pink but definitely could have done turquoise as a teen. (Maybe as an adult too :) )

    I have no idea how on earth you accomplish these little groupings, but they are so good. My favorite is the calmer one, of course. Anything with a ticking stripe! ;)
    Thanks for the nice mention!
