Posted by michal1disuja on April 28th, 2016

There are a variety of options available on the market for everybody who is interested in decorating their home to their exclusive tastes and expectations. With an enormous range of furniture options, curtain fabrics, rugs and carpets, there is absolutely something to suit every taste and home decor, and with upholstery fabric you cannot find any difference.
Keeping that in mind, all this choice makes it more complicated than ever before to choose the right upholstery fabric for your house. With an immense range of distinctive materials, different layouts, designs and shades, selecting one which really fulfills all your wants takes a great deal of time.

Deciding whether to go for patterned or plain upholstery fabric is certainly one question that most people doubt over. The first thing to think about when selecting between a patterned or plain material is the area that the item would be placed in. It is the most important factor, as the appearance of the item in its surroundings is an essential factor in whether a patterned or plain item will be good or be out of place.

Patterned fabrics generally work quite well in a room that is otherwise plain. Whereas a plain room can be monotonous for some, a splash of colorful pattern can throw some interest to a room space also bring some focus to it. This looks good if you have a nice sofa or armchair in the center of your room, as a great pattern withdraw the eye to these appealing items of furniture.

On the contrary, too many patterned items can produce a quite busy effect in any space, so if you have a patterned carpet, patterned curtains or some arty wallpaper, it is often a good idea to keep other items plain and not too eye catching. To enhance black and white striped curtains, you may choose an upholstery fabric for your sofa in more subtle white and pale gray pinstripes. The key is to let only one piece dominate the room, including patterns elsewhere in a toned-down and contrasting way.

The final tip of patterned and plain upholstery fabric is to keep in mind those patterns should invariably be kept in proportion to the things that they are covering. A large pattern will be great on a large item of furniture, on the other hand smaller and more delicate patterns may look great on smaller items of furniture in a room.
