• Herringbone with Floral Prints
A neutral shade herringbone woven fabric with floral prints can make the setting
very warm and homely. It is pleasing for the eyes and florals never go out of
fashion. The floral prints can be inspired from history and architecture. Herringbone
designs go well with plaids and stripes too. If you are not too sure of a
herringbone, try out smaller surface accessories or pouffes or ottomans.
• Diamond Repeats with Bold Stripes
Stripes actually can be paired with anything and everything. It is one of the most
versatile patterns. Make horizontal or vertical, it finds a space easily. Any dobby
design in repeat diamonds can be a cool pair for bold stripes. Choose black, grey,
dark repeats with a combination of black and neutral bold stripes. These can go
well for bedroom upholstery too.
• Gingham with Complex Patterns
Very small gingham checks can seamlessly merge with complex patterns for
some high level experimentation and abstract feel. The complex patterns may or
may not be part of your fabric upholstery. It could be your accent wall or frames
on the walls. Gingham will complement it well. Gingham with Complex Patterns
Hope this guide helps you choose your fabric upholstery with a lot more courage
and less doubt. We are sure your interior designer or your creative side can add
much more to this guide and help you choose best.
But don’t get too excited mixing and matching everything, particularly in a living
room which hosts your guests, relatives, late night movies or conversations over
tea/coffee and cookies with your near and dear ones. Patterns, whether on fabrics
or on floor tiles or walls, need to be used in the right combination, colour,
shape, and size. It is a daunting task but trust us, it is creatively quite rewarding.
