With my eyes always on design I have really noticed a touch of felt in even unexpected places. We are used to felt pads under furniture but not the furniture itself! On the weekend I saw a fabulous sofa set upholstered in grey felt and on my recent trip to the Toronto Interior Design Show I saw headboards, pillows, and even lighting. It's a traditional, durable and simple textile that up until recently took a back seat and now it covers the front seat and more!
