PAISLEY PATTERN BEDDING and DECORATING IDEAS
GO HERE FOR MORE!
Mixing and matching bedding fabrics has a way of making any duvet cover or comforter so much more exciting! First of all, it’s a real challenge to choose just the right balance of color, texture and design for a teen girls decor. A paisley pattern with all those funky, bold shapes and colors is no different.
Here are some ideas on how to decorate your teen or preteen girl's room with funky paisley motifs and designs using fabrics printed with different patterns and prints rather than solid colors.
You know from the beginning of this bedroom makeover that you will have to bring in a print with small designs that will provide a background for the dominant paisley fabrics.
Take inventory of the color scheme of the large paisley pattern. Paisley patterns are an eclectic hodgepodge of color, but which one jumps out at you? Whatever the answer to that question may be, that color will be used as accent colors in decorating the bedroom.
Now, what color seems to be the anchor or background in the paisley design? That’s the color you will use in your coordinating prints. An example would be that if your paisley bedding pattern has hot pink flowers with brown stems on a field of beige choose a fabric with a neutral brown print. Some examples of acceptable patterns would be gingham checks, polka dots, houndstooth or wild animal prints like the cheetah print in the pictures.
Consider how fabulous the hot pink paisleys will look beside the chocolate brown prints!
