A new surge of fashionable browns is challenging the lively look of color that burst on the decorative fabric scene over the past two years.

While bright and lively colors continue to provide excitement, a full range of browns from mocha to deep chocolate emulate the colors shown in recent apparel fashion shows at Decosit 2001 and Textiles d'Interieur Premiere in Brussels, Belgium next week.

Contemporary design is less structured, there's a return to classics — from traditional documents to Eastern influences of paisley and ikats, to elegant documents and damasks.
