Taylorsville, N.C. -- Taylor King heads to fall market with fashionable home furnishings that ignite the imagination and redefine luxury. New additions to both transitional and traditional categories bring Taylor King's customizable flair to a broad group of designer tastes. Taylor King's fall fabrics are captivating -- blending eye-catching color, intriguing textures and creative patterns.

With craftsmanship and service honed by more than 30 years of excellence in the industry, Taylor King prides itself on being the manufacturer of choice for discerning retailers and designers across the nation.

Colors Beyond the Rainbow

Visitors to Taylor King’s showroom will celebrate the reinvention of color. Each artistic blend of color, texture and pattern brings a unique and luxurious treatment to home décor.

“Pops of bright color are displayed throughout our showroom in both traditional and transitional environments," said Tanya Comer, marketing director of Taylor King. "Even colors that are a throwback to the sixties will be presented in a striking, yet salable, manner."

Royal Hues, Purple and Gold

A featured fabric collection in the Taylor King showroom, this bold floral design displays large-scale peonies and gold embroidered leaves. An accent stripe in lavender and bronze tones is offset by neutral ivory, while vibrant dots from deep plum to sunflower gold create a lively novelty fabric. The entire compliment of accents shimmers against a neutral texture with a subtle metallic gold undertone.

Geometric Jewels, Blues and Greens

One of Taylor King’s boldest large-scale prints this season, a Moroccan-inspired Sussani pattern in repeating sunbursts is depicted with mineral blues and grass greens. Accents include a green and aqua stripe and shimmering harlequin motifs that capture a vibrant range of greens and yellows. A textured artichoke green provides a neutral anchor to this brilliant collection. A beaded fringe and decorative wide tape provide exquisite finishing touches.

Harmony With Nature, Warm Sunshine and Earth Tones

Part of Taylor King’s latest line of environmentally responsible fabrics and upholstery, the Harmony collection of fabrics now includes mill-certified, organic fibers and earth-friendly dyes. Featuring a velvety autumn-themed foliage cutout pattern, the collection includes a warm and simple stripe of paprika, earth and goldenrod hues. Taylor King’s neutral ivory and goldenrod ottoman cloth adds texture and balance.

Striking Colors of Contrast - Magenta, Glacier Blue and Tangerine

Eye-catching and bold, the feature fabric of this collection is elegance in its most striking form. Suffused magenta, glacier blue, deep plum and bright tangerine outline a floral motif set against an ivory background. A bold silk stripe in matching hues provides simple, complementary patterning. Both designs are grounded by a blue petit point, a textured plain with a buttery soft hand.

Sophisticated & Elegant – Taylor King’s Soft Modern Collection

Many of Taylor King's new product introductions are geared to the growing contemporary market, featuring styles selected for their clean, simple lines and a minimum of frills. These pieces translate well in both casual and elegant settings.

The “Ashbery” Sofa by Taylor King

The simple, razor-thin arms of this low-back sofa are accented with a wooden base and tapered legs. The seating area is both generous and extremely comfortable, despite being a smaller scale sofa. As with many of these soft modern styles, the Ashbery sofa has a matching loveseat, chair and ottoman. Suggested retail for this sofa is $2,795.

The "Aragon" Chaise by Taylor King

The subtle curves of the arms and upholstered base of this stand-alone chaise are accented by the square button-tufted back and arm. Perfect as an accent item in a studio, great room, or bedroom, Aragon's modern appearance is enhanced by the new slate blue color of Ultrasuede. Available as both a left and right arm piece, the suggested retail for this chaise is $2,795.

The “Bonsai” Accent Chair by Taylor King

Despite the hard-edged appearance, this contemporary chair has a loose, down-filled seat cushion and back bolster that provide supreme comfort. The chair styling smartly combines square elements with soft curved lines. The chair's modern appeal is elegantly captured with the transitional cherry blossom motif of the fabric. Suggested retail for this accent chair is $1,695.

Soft, Modern and Casual with King’s Road

This fall Taylor King reinvents accessible style with an expanded King's Road line of handcrafted furniture in two additional showroom settings. Taylor King is proud to provide these top-quality frames and cushioning at lower price points – making Taylor King's unique style and luxury more accessible to customers on a budget.

"This market you will see our interpretation of the future of transitional upholstery," said Del Starnes, president of Taylor King. "As the King’s Road line has become increasingly popular, we have moved to make these pieces even more attractive to a wider variety of consumers. We have increased the scope of frame styling and paired them with fabrics that add interest and texture."

The “Porter” Chair by King’s Road

A dramatic addition to the King's Road line, this contemporary club chair brings flowing shape to a line of upholstery that has long been more mainstream. The low, tight back has great lumbar support and the loose cushion provides soft seating. Suggested retail for this chair is $995.

The “Hobart” Sofa by King’s Road

This soft modern style is not just another track-arm sofa. A 2" tapered foot solidly anchors arms that boast a dramatic flair. The low, loose back cushions are framed by sweeping wings that add a soft element to the frame. Suggested retail for this sofa is $1,995.

Taylor King’s Home Theater – Redefining The Look of Home Entertainment

Taylor King's latest introduction to our fine line of home theater seating features a tall back and soft curvature that eliminates the cumbersome feel of most home theater seating. Consumers may take advantage of a multitude of options for maximum flexability in row configuration. Adding even more arrangement optimization, the stationary chaises may be inserted anywhere within the row of theater chairs. With Taylor King's extensive fabric and leather offerings, creative options are endless. Suggested retail varies with configuration. Please contact Taylor King for pricing details.
