Patterns Materials Makes: The selection of a pattern for a room should harmonize with the use and character of the room itself, and should correspond to the character of the occupant. It is disconcerting to introduce too many different patterns materials makes in various parts of the same room, particularly if the patterns materials makes are large or very obvious. As a rule, where a patterned rug is used, it is best to employ upholstery coverings of plain materials, and vice versa. Also, a patterned Wall is usually as much patterned surface as any room can stand, and calls for a restricted use of patterned materials for draperies or upholstered surfaces. patterns materials makes in self-tones, as in damasks, may be used with other more strongly contrasting materials.
The beauty and color in a pattern are best shown by contrasting the pattern with plain surfaces. Where surfaces are plain, however, it is essential to give them interest of color or texture, or both.
This massive Sofa is big enough to seat a whole family. It adds a luxurious note to the room, but its simple, clean, contemporary lines stop it from seeming oppressively big. Piling it with cushions in a mix of patterns materials makes and materials makes it feel soft and welcoming - a place to stretch out and relax. The room is also big enough to comfortably accommodate it - a crucial consideration as a small room can feel crowded out by a large sofa.
It is also necessary to be exceedingly careful of scale, for a large and bold pattern (brocatelle, for instance) would be overwhelming in combination with one that is fine and dainty (French broche). There are some fine geometric patterns materials makes which will harmonize with spreading floral forms, and there are some small all-over designs which can be used with highly stylized forms. In general it is wise to keep the scale of all the fabrics fairly close together, and, of course, in harmony with the scale of the room.

The basic principles of selecting decorative Textiles require a thorough understanding of the subtle balance between variety and monotony, between contrast and similarity, which must be part of the ability of the true artist. |
