Menswear Refashioned

Fabrics don’t have to be colored “old world” to be classic.  Uplifting color stories have recently carried us through the economic downturn. Despite menswear fashion being characterized as a dated tartan with dark and drab colors, it more importantly encompasses fine fabrics with clean lines and impeccable tailoring.  Today, intense color is a mainstay in decor.  Your home should reflect what you wear.  Your colorful personality should bounce off your decorated walls and furniture.  Tattersall, houndstooth, and plaids with rich color bring tried and true design into the 21st century.  Roth & Tompkins puts a fresh spin on traditional, using bold blacks, blues, and reds to resurrect a tired plaid and refashion color in a tattersall.

Our Fabrics 17 Jun 2014

Traditional is Back

Traditional plaids, paisleys, and tattersalls have found their way back into our wardrobes and homes.  Brights continue to be accented throughout, but the warmth found in our heritage lays the foundation for today’s furnishings.  Oil paintings and assorted antiques pair beautifully with rich twill and houndstooth fabrics, and leather bound books and globes in libraries sit elegantly by our tartan drapes.

Roth & Tompkins understands the eclectic traditional.  We specialize in creating flow and transition from room to room.  Solids and textures can layer casually in a masculine office and elegantly in a formal dining room.
