A huge thanks to Lisa over at Brocade Home for sending a sneak peak of their Spring ‘07 catalog today. You can expect your catalog early February (if you sign up for it, that is). And in March, they will launch their e-commerce site, which will give us all a chance to shop BH if we so choose.

This season, look for Brocade to deliver fresh new colors (a lot lighter than the last catalog), shapes, finishes, and fabrics. I’m seeing lots of romance and old world charm that can easily mingle with even the most contemporary of decors, given you know what to add and how much, of course. I’m not opposed to throwing in a dash of baroque in a clean, modern environment. I think it adds cheeky charm, an air of confidence and whimsy to the home… You decorate how you want and no one is telling you otherwise. Amen, people.

Love this shot. Tons of plates, they look like Sarah Cihat’s rehabilitated dishware. I’m not sure if the plates will be offered via Brocade Home, but the silhouette table, chandelier, and chairs are up for grabs. I love the shape of the table, and it’s not too expensive for oak. Available in 3 sizes ($599-799), the square would be perfect for a small eating space, the small rectangle can be used for dining or as a desk, and the large rectangle is perfect for your formal dining room.

“Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing…” When I saw this room, I started humming Purple Rain. I’m not a fan of purple at all, never have been, it screams 1985 Italian family in Revere, MA. If you come from a Revere Italian family, you’ll totally get what I’m saying here. Only, they’d have plastic covers on those ottomans, of course. But aside from my fear of purple (along with clowns, but that’s another story), the purple as shown just works with all that white. I’m liking it, and if I can buy any of these things in another color, I’m liking it even more. :) Aside from the purple, please don’t skip over the lovely vintage lace acrylic side table. I’m thinking it will be a big hit at $249.

I like the looks of this large tufted cube in crushed velvet ($399) and the headboard ($599-799) on this bed. Very inviting in this space, dreamy! Look ma, no purple!

I’m smitten by this lacecut media storage credenza for $599. That pattern is heaven. It’s nice to finally start seeing some media storage that has some real style to it. The velvet sofa ($1,499) reminds me of my favorite eye shadow color from Sephora. It’s this shimmery cocoa. Ah, so nice. I’d love it in soft blue.

These oversized tufted ottomans and the high back sofa make me weak at the knees. I would adore a sofa like this in my bedroom, if only my bedroom were about 45 times its current size, that is. The sofa is $1,999 (gulp) and the ottomans are $1,199 each (out of my reach). But, you can love from afar, I guess…

And finally, here’s a pretty boudoir with brocade trimmed plush towels ($12-24) and a charming ruffle edge mirror ($399) to add a dash of feminine flair.

Thoughts on their Spring collection based on what you’ve seen so far?

This stuff is sinful. I love the credenza and the ruffle edge mirror. I love the purple room too- does that mean we can’t be friends?

Holly, I laughed so hard with this post I was almost in tears! My Great Aunt Teresa on the very Italian side of my family has had the same very ornate golden-colored couch since before I was born in 1976. It is in the exact same condition as it was when she purchased it – because it is covered in plastic of course!
I like your idea of using the small rectangle oak table as a desk, perhaps paired with a very modern task chair or something fun like Starck’s Louis Ghost chair.

the new catalog looks a lot better than the old one. seems like the people at brocade are trying to integrate their style into more mainstream settings, hence the more contemporary modern backdrops. everything looks so much cooler to me this time around.

Luv the high back sofa! The rest of it… not so much. The mirrors look like self-painted flea market finds. So does the headboard. The plain exterior outline of the dining table with the curved interior shape just looks like someone couldn’t make up their mind as to what style they liked. I dunno. This sounds pretty harsh. (sorry)

I would get that catalog in a heartbeat if they didn’t sell my address. I HATE that. : (

I received the last Brocade catalogue out of the blue a few months ago. I love their stuff, but is it worth the money? I’m in DC, so I don’t know anything about them beyond their own self promotion.

I ordered a Brocade Home catalogue but never got it;-( I think that their stuff actually looks fantastic and am glad to see Chiara’s comment above because I was wondering about the quality. There are several things that they have that I would happily own. Looks glam.

I had a very bad experience with brocade home. I ordered a bed, had about a two month delay in receiving it, and then found it wouldn’t fit ANY bed frame currently manufactured. While their products are beautiful I would warn potential customers of this poor service.

anonymous (who doesn’t want your address to be rented),

Any legitimate catalog company or magazine publisher has a way to flag your name/address as “do not rent”.

Call the customer service dept (not the sales number) or write to them. If you’re already on their list, allow a couple of months for the info to make it to their service bureau.

I ordered a bed from them mid December. Except for a snafu in my order going thru for a week, it has been a fantastic experience. The bed arrived three days after BH assured me the order would go thru. It was well packaged, had exactly the number of tools/parts for assembly, went together super quick and looks much better in person.

I absolutely love it!
