Can you provide tips for coordinating different fabric textures and patterns within a room?

Question

Master the art of fabric coordination in your room! Balance textures by mixing smooth and rough fabrics, and harmonize patterns by combining large-scale motifs with smaller prints for a cohesive and dynamic look.

Answer 1

Start with a cohesive color palette, then mix textures like velvet, linen and wool for depth. Balance busy patterns with solids and use a variety  of scales for visual interest. 

Answer 2

Start by choosing a main focal point fabric or pattern that you love and then use this as a guide for selecting complimentary textures and patterns. Mix varying textures such as smooth silk with rough linen or soft velvet with nubby tweed to add depth and interest. Consider the scale of patterns and aim to balance large-scale prints with smaller ones to avoid overwhelming the space.
