Add a pop of pattern and colour to the room with a fabric-covered lampshade. These inject instant character into a room and can form a true focal point. Use on either side of a headboard for a sophisticated bedroom. Coordinate with your wall colour for cohesion. Choose a design used elsewhere in the room, such as on your scatter cushions, to tie the space together.
Bows are everywhere at the minute, and are the star of the show when it comes to seasonal décor. So, why not create some beautiful festive accessories? Versatile fabrics can be used year-round too. They look just as charming hung upon living room door handles and walls as they are on Christmas trees. Striped designs encourage a playful, nostalgic feel.

Matching your cushions to your curtains brings a space together. It is also a great use of fabric left over from your curtains! Consider a throw if you have more fabric to work with, or make up a few cushion covers to scatter around the room. Add in different designs and textures to mix things up and prevent a scheme from falling flat. Present more uniform designs with carefree patterns. Checks and geometrics sit well with florals, for example.

Use conversational prints to maximise interest at tables and seating areas. Nature-inspired designs create a country cottage- inspired feel. Geometrics add a more contemporary aesthetic. Make up a tablecloth, or even just a table runner if you are working with less fabric. Craft some matching napkins with any remains.
