Draperies, duvet cover, or a tablecloth, for example, will show off the fabric motif. Next, select a secondary print to coordinate. Be sure to vary the scale with small prints, stripes or plaids, patterned fabrics or lace for the most interest. Consider using stripes as borders. Add solids for accents.
Solids give visual relief and pull all the components together.
For best results, use decorator fabrics. Home decorating fabric manufacturers produce coordinated fabric collections, they have already grouped related colors, prints and solids together to make decorating choices easier. Before you make a final decision, bring a selection of fabric samples home and drape them around the room to get a sense of how the fabrics work together. Home decorating fabrics drape better than fashion fabrics and will be more durable. Many have finishes that resist stains, creases, or mildew.
