Back to Nature
One of Turner’s most beloved local interior design projects is the Turner House at Alisal Ranch, a three-bedroom retreat with vintage decor, reclaimed barnwood paneling, and Pendleton accessories. A few of his recent fabric designs also lift inspiration from times spent at Alisal.
Designer, decorator, and hospitality expert Nathan Turner has clients all over the world, but he never forgets his California roots. For his latest fabric collection—nostalgic patterns printed on linen—he leans into natural themes that defined his childhood.
California Quail: “My brother and I raised quails from eggs, and every time I see one on our family’s ranch I like to think they’re descendants from the ones we hatched.”
Beautiful Spanish architecture and design inspired Hillhouse, a sweetly simple floral print.
The Valley Oak Stripe is an homage to California’s mighty woodlands: “I can’t see a giant live oak and not feel at home.”
The North Star Stripe “is inspired by the stacks of vintage horse blankets at the ranch.”
For Heaton, he wanted to pay tribute to the bright berries and brambles that most ranchers have encountered. “We have wild blackberry bushes on the ranch, so I knew I needed a traditional floral with blackberries.”
