Factors to Consider When Choosing a Fabric Design

  • Room Style and Function: Think about how you’ll use the room. Bold florals work beautifully in living and dining rooms, while feather designs add subtle elegance to bedrooms or offices.
  • Pattern Scale: Large-scale patterns create dramatic statements on curtains or furniture, while smaller-scale designs are perfect for accent pillows or accessories.
  • Color Palette: Choose designs that match or complement your room’s decor. Vibrant floral patterns bring energy, while softer feather prints create a calming effect.
  • Existing Decor: Consider how the fabric design will pair with existing furniture, decor, or wallpaper. Coordinating patterns can create a cohesive look, while contrasting designs add a curated, eclectic vibe.
  • Lighting: Bold designs shine in bright, open spaces, while subtler patterns suit rooms with softer or dimmer lighting.

Pro Tips for Choosing a Fabric Design

  • Order Fabric Samples: See how the colors and patterns look in your specific lighting and space. Test the designs next to furniture, paint swatches, and decor elements for the perfect match.
  • Consult Your Designer or Builder:
    Collaborate with a professional to ensure your chosen fabric fits seamlessly into your overall design scheme. Their expertise can guide you in selecting complementary patterns and applications.
  • Think Outside the Box: Use Ellie’s fabrics creatively—upholster a bench, create unique drapes, or craft a one-of-a-kind statement piece.
