How to choose floral fabrics in decoration
Interior decoration depends on the characteristics of its elements, such as color and
texture. But are floral fabrics also included?
There are a million ways to decorate a space and the truth is that everything depends on the taste of the interior designer—we can be talking about a professional in the area or simply the owner of a house, who wants to decorate it differently.
Anyway, the truth is that the limit only is one’s imagination and creativity. Some are able to create a different harmony and a unique environment in a space, and those who need to improve their choices.
Still, anything is possible when it comes to interior design. The mixture of patterns, textures, colors, and fabrics is almost infinite. We can also mention furniture and objects, which add more to a certain room.
One of the main strategies to improve a room and/or a house is to bet on colors, for example. In this context, floral fabrics are one of the most chosen elements.
Although it may create some confusion about the best pattern to choose, the truth is that floral fabrics can almost always give a special touch to the spaces in which they cohabit.
But it is necessary to choose these fabrics well so that the rest of the decoration is not compromised. For this reason, we give you some matters that influence the choice of floral fabrics in decoration.
How to choose floral fabrics
The floral fabrics, when well applied, create a specific environment that you didn’t even know of. For this reason, it is important to know how to choose the right fabrics for each space.
Personality
Yes, floral fabrics also have a (unique) personality; something that distinguishes them from other textures and makes them stand out amongst other patterns. And the truth is that everything depends on the environment you want to create in the decorated room.
For example, if you pick a vintage floral fabric, with strong and pastel colors, you probably want to create a feminine environment. If you opt for more minimalist and/or abstract fabrics, certainly, you do not want them to interfere in the harmony of the space already decorated.
Therefore, you must consider the space itself before making a decision. Think about the personality, the environment and the idea that you want this space to create, and you will soon find your answer to which floral fabrics to choose.
Scale
Often neglected, the scale is one of the most important elements when it comes to choosing the most suitable floral fabrics. The size of a fabric's flowers can determine whether it will complement the final space or completely ruin it.
The density of the pattern is, therefore, very important, whether we are talking about cushions or curtains. That is why you should not choose too large and "living" patterns if you do not want all the attention to be focused on that object.
Color
Color is another factor that matters when choosing the right fabric. Before making a decision, consider the space where you want to add the floral fabrics into.You must do so so that the harmony of the place is not compromised and the chosen colors uniquely complement each other.
