Kravet Family of Brands at the 2025 FLOWER Magazine Showhouse
The 2025 FLOWER Magazine Showhouse in Nashville, Tennessee, may have closed its doors, but the inspiration it offered is still in full bloom, and Kravet LLC is proud to have been part of it. Set in a legendary Belle Meade home, 23 top-tier interior design firms transformed every corner into a tapestry of style, color, and texture, and we’re celebrating some of the standout Kravet moments.
Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates
Corey Damen Jenkins designed his Town and Country Study, anchored by Lee Jofa’s Arley Print. The space’s cornflower, black, white, emerald, and caramel palette balances light and dark, masculine and feminine, traditional and contemporary. Equestrian nods abound, from playful fireplace andirons to carefully curated accessories, infusing charm and personality. A chair swathed in Métaphores’ Chaman Épice fabric adds depth and warmth, while pillows covered in Lizzo and Clarke & Clarke fabrics introduce layered textures and unexpected pops of pattern. Corey’s design proves how thoughtfully selected fabrics can transform a room, bringing texture, pattern, and sophisticated, layered personality to life.
Mackin Thompson Interiors
Mackin Thompson created a whimsical “secret garden” in the stair hall and mezzanine, tenting the space to feel like a destination. “Once I discovered Lee Jofa’s Gardenia fabric, the entire concept came to life,” Mackin said. “You find yourself surrounded by pattern and bloom, a hidden retreat that blossomed beautifully with the Kravet Family of Brands.” A charming tête-à-tête covered in Brunschwig & Fils’ Les Touches Reverse invites conversation, while a pair of chairs swathed in GP&J Baker’s Tilly and Andrew Martin’s Sprig and Picket fabrics used throughout the space add layered texture and playful pattern. Complemented by a painted vintage game table and fringe details, every element is thoughtfully layered to create harmony, personality, and a truly enchanting escape.
Margaret Kirkland Interiors
For Margaret Kirkland, the spark for the showhouse came from Lee Jofa’s Kingsley Mural. “We adore the classic feeling of the English countryside featured in the paper. It has the traditional feeling of an old tapestry, but Lee Jofa has updated the look with a beautiful grasscloth and iridescent finish,” says Margaret. “The Kingsley Mural feels a little like walking into a storybook, and that was the magical feeling we wanted in our spaces.” Once the Belle Meade home came to life, Margaret’s team embraced its scale. With the foyer and atrium soaring 22 feet high, they selected Brunschwig & Fils’ Riviere as the main fabric for the Atrium and created an enormous skirted center table to anchor the space. Stools surrounding the center table were covered in Brunschwig & Fils’ Villandry Print, adding another layer of texture and pattern. Now that the showhouse has wrapped, Margaret hopes visitors remember the layered beauty of the spaces. “The Atrium sings with color, and we wanted rooms that greet you the way a good host does, with charm, generosity, and hints of intrigue to draw you in,” she said.
Eric Ross Interiors
Eric Ross designed a light-filled, airy dining room, using Brunschwig & Fils’ Seijun and Mulberry’s Wild Side. “There is so much natural light because of the skylight, and I knew the showhouse would be seen primarily during the daytime,” says Eric. “I selected the Brunschwig & Fils black silk wallcovering to absorb the light and then paired it with a statement Mulberry linen floral featuring the iris, Tennessee’s state flower.” He brought the amethyst tones of the Mulberry print into the room through matching hurricanes and goblets. A happy architectural accident, the black silk wallcovering accentuating the skylight’s cross beams, added extra drama, while the Winfield Thybony wallcovering Woodtriangles in the butler’s pantry became a surprise showstopper. Kravet Couture’s Ribbon Rouche trim lined the window treatments, adding an elegant finishing touch. And for those eagle-eyed guests, the dining table included a playful nod to the “Ewing family” from Dallas.
Mark D. Sikes Interiors
Mark Sikes brought his signature polish to the Showhouse with a custom Brunschwig & Fils stripe, adding a tailored touch that complemented the home’s historic charm. Inspired by his travels to Tangier, Morocco, he created a “Tangier Tent” in the Salon and Bar. “The vibrant colors, patterns, architecture, gardens, ryads, and medinas left a lasting impression on me,” says Mark.
A happy accident gave him two rooms to design, and the bar became a hidden emerald green jewel box, with Moroccan-inspired stenciling by Joseph Steiert. The custom Colmar Stripe tented the room and covered most upholstery, evoking the lush gardens of Villa Mabrouka. He also used a Gastón y Daniela solid green to anchor the space, providing a rich contrast to the striped fabric. Playful touches like a vintage landline and cigarettes invite discovery. The space transported visitors from Nashville to Morocco, blending elegance, texture, and whimsy.
Though the showhouse is over, the design inspiration lives on, and we can’t wait to see how these ideas bloom in homes everywhere.
