As there are so many patterns, motifs, colours and prints when it comes to curtains and wallpapers, it’s certainly not an easy feat to match them. Check out this short guide from Curtainsplace to learn how to perfect the art of mixing and matching your furnishing features at home.
Often, one of the biggest challenges a new home decorator may face is giving their homes a pulled-together look. One way to give a room a more finished look is to use wallpaper and matching curtains to accessorize the room with colour and texture. Many manufacturers create wallpaper and fabric collections that make it easy to mix and coordinate patterns. By following a few key steps, a novice decorator can learn how to mix and match colours and patterns, thereby increasing decorating options.
When it comes to coordinating wallpaper and window coverings, it helps to have a good eye for colour. There are different ways to coordinate wallpaper and room fabrics, such as pulling out one colour from the wallpaper design and using that as the colour theme in the room. Before you decide on a colour, display samples of the colours in the room to help you make your final choice; after all, once you have created the design and theme, you may have to live with it for a while.
Select wallpaper as a focal point. When choosing wallpaper, think about the colours you’d like to bring into your space and what type of feel you’d like your room to have. Timeless patterns like toile can give a room a more formal feel, while geometric patterns are best for modern rooms. In addition to the type of pattern, consider also the size of the pattern. Larger patterns add visual interest but can make a room seem smaller; smaller patterns, on the other hand, can make a small room seem larger, especially if the pattern is created with light or neutral colours.
You can always ask our decorators at Curtainsplace if there are coordinating fabrics for your particular brand of wallpaper as many manufacturers work together to create beautiful fabrics just for the purpose of coordinating with your particular wallpaper.
