Decide how you want the space to feel

Colour:

Neutral and lighter shades:

• Gives feeling of a larger space.
• Perfect backdrop to showcase furniture or artwork.

Darker walls:

• Moody atmosphere providing drama.
• Makes space appear smaller and cosier.

Pattern:

• Make a mood board of patterns so you can get an idea of what patterns will work well together.
• Pinterest is great for this!

 

Consider the size and scale of the design:

• To show the full potential of a fabric, smaller pieces (dining chairs/stools) won’t work as well.
• Larger spaces like a grand entrance way would suit a larger pattern than a small pattern.

 

Mix and matching patterns:

• Make sure a colour from one of the fabrics are included in the contrasting fabric in some way.
• Keep it consistent (colour, line or scale).
