Unified Wallpapers and Fabrics

Don't feel pressured to mix prints on your walls and furnishings. Becky Carbone, a design expert, prefers to maintain a singular print throughout. “It creates a harmonious look without overwhelming the space,” she remarks.

If you're hesitant to go all out with a bold print, consider using your drapery fabric for other elements, like bedding or upholstery. Carbone also suggests using a contrasting trim to bring in more colors, which can tie together lampshades in complementary patterns.

Vibrant, Artistic Patterns

If you're unsure about which patterns to choose, Amy Youngblood observes a trend towards “artistic, bold patterned fabrics,” featuring florals and abstract designs. She recommends balancing these striking patterns with solid colors for a chic effect.

Rich Green Textiles

This fall, embrace green textiles, as they pair beautifully with various accent colors and wood tones. Carbone emphasizes the beauty of layering different shades of green instead of relying solely on blues or neutrals. When using greens, she prefers prints over solids, ensuring they harmonize well. “Incorporating a mix of large, medium, and small-scale patterns creates a cohesive look,” she explains.
