The March lily tablecloth is suitable for an interior with a pink and brown theme for the dining room. This dining room table is the centre piece of the room. The viewer becomes amused when looking at it. The flowers look so real that they would like to reach out and touch them. The purpose of this tablecloth is to welcome the viewer to your home in a pleasant way.
The story behind this tablecloth is the brown rectangle shape is the ground and the 3 dimensional flowers bloom out to give a sweet fragrance off. The interior has a theme that is pink and brown which the March lily fabric painted table cloth goes very will with. In this project my client was looking at dark pink, brown, green and beige as colours to match the interior of the dinning room.
The idea of this design was to create a composition of a 3 dimensional design as a positive image with dark pink, yellow, purple, green, brown and mostly white. The composition of the tablecloth is balanced with a repetition of the March lily - a symmetrical look. The brown rectangle shape is the focal point of the tablecloth. The negative space is the March lily stem which is white that represents 2 dimensional designs.
The border of the tablecloth gives it a beautiful finish provided by the two green lines which worked in a harmony with the ribbon patterns that are pink and brown.
