"For so many years, commercial textiles tended to be dark and muted," says Lori Weitzner, principal of New York City-based Lori Weitzner Design and a designer for Pallas Textiles, Green Bay, WI. "There used to be a joke that we should just make them look dirty, because when they are dirty, no one will notice," she laughs.
