On the blog we will include photos and ideas we have taken out and about or seen that inspire our work, so you can see where the ideas come from for the collections. We are always seeking inspiration in new places, nature, architecture and things!

We launched new collections last week at London Design Week at Chelsea Harbour and all had an amazing response, which was really exciting. The chunky highly textured linens used in Eriska, Marquita and Whisper were a real winner along with the gorgeous cotton silks in Xanandu. The Xanandu silk was used throughout the showroom giving a lovely Spring feel using the Lemon colourway in the ditsy flower design called Delilah.
The ranges will be showing on the site in the next couple of weeks so please do have a look at them if you missed the show - Xanadu, Eriska, Marquita, Whisper, Ripple, Duo and Callisto.
The collections are all made from natural fibres in vivid spring colours inter-mingled with cloudy pastels with occasional splashes of blacks and dark greys giving a striking fresh look to the interior. We mainly used soft and powdered stone colours in matt and pearlised finishes with patterns and stripes that give a nostalgic elegance and botanical choice.
The newly designed showroom also created a beautiful environment to look at fabrics, wallcoverings and trims with many of our different fabrics in large 2.5 metre pieces so that you get a sense of how the designs and textures will work when hanging as curtains. The window displays also showed how all the Wemyss fabrics can be mixed together so you can then create interiors that mix patterns, textures and colours in a way that is special and individual to you.
Please do go along and see the showroom - Wemyss, 1st Floor South Dome, Chelsea Harbour Design Centre.

Back to the cold. 80 to minus 2 overnight!
Went for a walk on hampstead heath in deep snow, everything looked black and white with the odd flash of colour.

Amazing Colours.
To escape the cold weather I arranged a last minute trip to St Lucia, all the colours and textures were amazing, I especially loved the bright pink outline around the leaves of the picture bottom right.
