When you are redecorating your master bedroom, there are likely a variety of goals you have. The master bedroom must be warm and inviting, while also functional. You want to convey a feeling of passion, while also of relaxation.

Choosing linens and window treatments in a soft lavender fabric might be perfect. For instance, the Culp Lily Belle Mermaid print features a modern floral pattern with soothing shades of purple and blue. For a more classic and traditional look, you can opt for Golding Mason Mocha Raspberry that offers a striped pattern in green and purple.

When you use lavender fabric as your primary color palette, you can easily add other decorative elements for the look you want. Consider black and white portraits for a modern look; add white glass or black wrought iron elements for a high end master bedroom. 1502 Fabrics is the place to find a variety of lavender fabric options as well as other neutrals to coordinate.

Adding Taupe Fabric for a Decorative Touch

neutral fabric
When you’re decorating a formal living room or an entry foyer, it is often recommended that you choose a neutral approach. These rooms or areas tend to go largely unused; however, you want to make sure that they coordinated nicely with other rooms that may have more color or personality. To that end, using browns, grays, or varying shades of white can be a nice segue.

But won’t that be boring? In many cases, not at all. A room that is done in these shades will often look quite contemporary and distinguished. However, if it feels too sterile to your tastes, you can easily add pillows or window treatments in a taupe fabric that will maintain the neutral appeal, while adding just the softest touch of style.

For example, the Claridge Moorish Cappuccino fabric features a geometric design on a medium shade of brown, which can add an exotic touch to a cream and brown room. Or, if you have a grayscale room, some throw pillows in the Culp Joplin Oat will add just a bit of plaid to the room. Explore this collection, which features taupe fabric and other neutrals, to find the perfect touch for your neutral décor.
