Decorator Fabric
Liven up your home
While endeavoring to come up with a color scheme for your home it can sometimes seem taxing and not always easy to ascertain which color and type of decorator fabric to use. You also need to take into consideration the color of the paint on walls, unless you are planning to repaint.
A good idea would be to both obtain a sample of decorator fabric of your choice, and wall paint from your hardware store. Paint a small section of the wall; wait for it to dry and then hold the fabric along side it, this way you are guaranteed to get a perfect match.
