Fabrics for men- the perfect recliner

A recent study found that women recognize color variations more than men and men recognize pattern variations more than women. This could be explained by the primitive brain needing to hunt by recognize animals and gathering with recognizing ripeness for fruit and vegetables.

 
I have been thinking a lot about this and how it could pertain to design. Additionally, how to take this knowledge and harness it in working with men and women clients, both couples or singles. Recently I took this in consideration while working with a client couple on fabrics for a family room. I choose colors in her palette with a variety of patterns for him.

This Magnolia Fabrics is reversible.

Below is my pick for his recliner. I love the combo of houndstooth and a men's silk tie print. It has the feel of a Dapper Dan made modern. The houndstooth is perfect for the recliner and the "tie" fabric would make a perfect lumbar pillow. Love the cool brown and light blue-green in both of these fabrics. As always, if you would like more information on this fabric, you would like to order it, please contact me! I love doing online consultations.
