[Fabrics](https://support.meinewand.com/en/fabrics?hsLang=en) # Combining fabric and wallpaper ## The same design on the wall and at the window, or a deliberate contrast: how to coordinate fabrics and wallpapers. Many of our brands offer [fabrics](https://www.meinewand.com/en/fabrics) and wallpapers from the same design world, for example Cole & Son, Coordonné, House of Hackney, Sanderson, Quenin, Mindthegap and Lewis & Wood. That makes coordinating easy. Three approaches have proven successful. **1. One design for wall and fabric** Wallpaper and curtains or upholstery share the same pattern. The room feels enclosed and very cosy, almost like a cocoon. This works particularly well in bedrooms, small rooms and guest rooms. Tip: keep the remaining furniture and accessories understated and pick up one colour from the pattern as a plain. **2. Pattern on the wall, plain fabric (or the other way round)** A patterned wallpaper with plain curtains or upholstery is the safest combination. Choose the plain fabric in a colour that appears in the pattern. You will find suitable fabrics under [Plains & Textures](https://www.meinewand.com/en/fabrics/plain-fabrics). **3. Combining two patterns** Two patterns work together if they differ in one respect and match in another: - **Vary the scale:** combine a large motif with a small one, for example a large-scale floral wallpaper with a fine stripe. - **Link the colour:** both patterns share at least one shade. - **Change the style:** floral patterns go well with [Stripes & Checks](https://www.meinewand.com/en/fabrics/striped-checked-fabrics) or [geometric patterns](https://www.meinewand.com/en/fabrics/geometric-fabrics). **Before you buy** - Order samples of the wallpaper and the fabric and hold them side by side in the room, in daylight and in evening light. - Even with the same design, the colours of wallpaper and fabric can differ slightly. Paper, non-woven and textile take up colour differently. - With large patterns, take the repeat into account so that motifs on the wall and on the curtain sit at a similar height.
