Try out a mixed pattern on your sofa for an unexpected pop of color.  Pull colors from the pattern to mix in stripes and solids throughout the room.

A citrus hued room is bright and breezy with wing chairs updated in a lively orange floral.  Note how the window panels are trimmed in the chair fabric.  This gives the room cohesion and carries the theme throughout the room.  It also provides contrast to the yellow curtain fabric.

A way to start small with vibrantly upholstered pieces is to cover dining room chairs.  Cover the entire chair or just the backs for a sophisticated custom look.

Match the upholstery to the wallpaper for traditional appeal.  White sheer panels at the windows give the room a soft, ethereal look.  The subtle geometric pattern in the panels picks up that in the sofa throw pillows.  Soft pink balances the room and injects a touch of contrast.

Create a vivid room with a mix of colorful patterns.  Wide stripes complement the patterned chair, while the rug picks up colors from each as well.  The green of the chair is picked up in a stripe on the sofa fabric.  This is how mixing colors can work together to form a cohesive look.
