A house looks alive when it blends between different decorating styles. Mixing and matching between styles will make the house more vibrant and inviting than ever.

The color of your fabrics will determine the color of your walls. We are not talking about matching colors of course, but once you set your mind on the color and patterns of the furniture fabrics, you will get a clearer idea on what colors best suit your walls.

If you go the other way round, you will end up changing the fabrics once again or live with a color you think ugly for long period of time.

6- Measure your space
