Texture: A Decorating Dynamo
Plain or unobtrusively patterned coverings are usually best for large areas such as walls or floors. Such coverings are easier to adapt to a decorative scheme than those with strong patterns. With a textured or patterned wall, plain draperies or those with an unobtrusive pattern are usually best. Use contrasting textures for variety where contrasting colors or patterns might destroy unity. Use a patterned covering where soiling is a problem or where an empty space, such as a hallway or foyer, lacks interest.
