HOW TO CREATE A COORDONATED COLLECTION?

Creating a coherent atmosphere in a living room, bedroom or kitchen is not reserved for interior decorators. This is something you can do yourself, with your hands and sewing machine, provided you have the right fabrics.

And that's exactly where the customizing colors Change the deal. Imagine cushions, curtains and a table path that share exactly the same palette. Not "in the same tone" exactly the same colors. It's possible, and we'll explain how.

Why Coordinate Tissues Change Everything in a Room

We all lived it: a pillow bought by heart, a curtain hung elsewhere, a plaid brought back from a trip. Each room is pretty alone, but once in the same room, it doesn't really "talk" together. It lacks this thread that gives the impression that everything has been thought.

This thread is often the color.

A consistent palette: even if simple, even with only two or three shades is enough to give a real identity to a space. And when the fabrics share this palette, the piece takes on a completely different dimension. It becomes an interior, not just an accumulation of objects.

This is what our customizable fabrics : from a pattern that you like, decline the colors according to your desire, and apply it on several textile supports to create your own decor collection. A real sewing project with an overall vision.

How to choose your color palette

No need to be a graphic designer to choose a nice palette. Just start from what already exists in your room, and use it as a starting point.

The simplest method: get out of your existing decor

Look around you. There must be a dominant color in the room: your sofa, your wallpaper, your tile or even your walls. It's your anchor. All the fabrics you're going to create must talk to her.

Then you can rely on a few large families of pallets that work well in textile decoration:

Type of palletWhat does that mean?The effect obtained
Monochrome palletDifferent shades of the same colorSweet, soothing, very consistent
Natural palletBeiges, unbleached, terracotta, khaki greenWarm, timeless, easy to marry
Contrast palletA dominant color + an accent colorGraph, affirmed, dynamic
Pastel palletSweet and unsaturated tintsLight, poetic, ideal for a room

Do not hesitate to check out sites that offer colour colours such as Pantone.

Color code trick

Once you have spotted a color in your interior: for example the green of your kitchen tiles or the blue of your wallpaper, you can find its exact color code (called hexadecimal code or "hex code"). A simple Google search is enough, or a free color recognition app on smartphone. You can then enter this code directly in our customization tool to get a tint as close as possible to your decoration.

However, it is important to note that the colour displayed on the screen and the colour printed on the fabric may differ slightly. Screens (computer, telephone, tablet) display colours in bright mode, while textile printing is based on inks placed on a material. Of course we do everything possible to get as close as possible to the color chosen.

Moreover, the same colour code may also vary slightly from one substance to another. Indeed, depending on the type of fabric (cotton, polyester, velvet, etc.), we use different printing processes and textile fibres react differently to inks. The rendering can therefore vary slightly depending on the texture, absorption and composition of the fabric.

For a result that meets your expectations, we recommend ordering a sample before launching a larger production.

How to customize the colors of a pattern at Tissus Price

It's easier than you think. This is how it goes, step by step.

You find a pattern that you like in our category customizable fabrics : the grounds concerned bear the mention "Personalize me" on their product sheet. You click on it, you open the customization tool, and you choose your colors:

  • Via the visual chart, by clicking directly on the shade that suits you.
  • Via the hex code, for perfect correspondence with your existing interior.

You see the result in real time before ordering. You adjust, you validate, you choose your material, and that's it. We've been taking care of the rest since our workshop in the Var.

For a complete guide to this step, we have detailed everything here: How to change the color of a custom fabric.

And now let's really see how to use this room-by-room possibility.

Create a coordinated collection for a living room

The living room is often the room where you want everything to be consistent: because it is the one you see the most, and the one you show the guests. It is also the one that accumulates the most different textiles: cushions, curtain, plaid, sofa path, sometimes even an armchair cover.

The idea is to choose the same pattern or several motifs of the same family, and to decline them in a common palette. For example:

  • One pattern geometric terracotta and ecru for sofa cushions.
  • The same pattern, slightly enlarged and in a clearer version, for the curtain.
  • One pattern in the same shades for a smaller plaid or cushion cover.

The result: a room that looks "designated", without having called a decorator. Just a well held pallet and a few hours of sewing.

For furniture fabrics, our collection of customizable fabrics per metre offers suitable materials: cotton canvas, canvas canvas, velvet, occult, polar, as intended.

Create a coordinated collection for a room

In one room, textiles play an essential role in the overall atmosphere. Curtains, pillowcases, decorative cushion, headboard, separation curtain, many possibilities, and consistency between them make all the difference.

For an adult room, the pallets that work best are often natural and soft tones: sand, old pink, slate blue, grey green. We choose a pattern Floral or discreet graphic, it is available in these shades, and is printed on different materials depending on the use: satin for the case, cotton for the cushion, thick fabric for the curtains (occult, cotton canvas, velvet).

For a child room, you can have more fun. Same pattern animal or geographical in three different colours creates a coherent atmosphere without being monotonous. We can even adjust the size of the pattern depending on the holder: bigger for the curtain, smaller for the pillowcase.

It is this kind of freedom that the customization of colors makes possible: a project conceived in its entirety, and realized with your own hands.

Create a coordinated collection for a kitchen

The kitchen is often forgotten when it comes to textile decoration and yet it is a room where fabrics can really bring warmth and character. Tea towels, apron, table path, tablecloth, biscuits curtain, storage pockets: there are lots of small projects to make that really change the atmosphere.

The advantage of a kitchen is that you can assume more assertive colours. A beautiful bottle green, a mustard yellow, a duck blue, hues that give punch to the space without weighing it.

The idea is the same: choose a pattern : graphic, botanical, with revised tiles, and display it in your kitchen palette on several textile supports. Same cloth, same apron, same curtain. It's all connected. Everything is homogeneous. And everything comes from your hands.

For kitchen projects, easy-to-maintain materials such as cotton poplin or dewatering cloth are recommended. And for small sizes such as towels or pouches, you only need one or two meters of custom fabric.

Our tips for getting started

If you start a co-ordinated collection project for the first time, here are some benchmarks that will save you time:

  • Start with a play. Don't try to redo the whole house at once. Choose the room you care about most and focus on it.
  • Limit your palette to 2 or 3 colours. The less colors, the more consistent it is. A dominant color, a secondary color, a touch of accent is often enough.
  • Variate materials, not colours. This is what gives depth to a collection without making it confused. The same shades on different materials (matt cotton, slightly shiny satin, textured velvet) create a beautiful visual richness.
  • Order a sample before you start. To check that the printed color matches what you imagined, and that the material suits you. This option is available on our website.
  • Keep track of your color. Once you have found the perfect shade, you can note its color code (hex code) to easily reuse it in your next projects.

Good news : if you have already ordered a custom fabric on our site, all your creations are automatically stored in your customer area, in the section "My custom patterns". You will be able to find at any time the created patterns and color codes used in your previous orders.
