Matching textures and patterns in fabric is really hard. Much harder than matching solid colors for a website (though that’s not easy to do right either). I love looking at catalogs, like the Crate & Barrel one I got yesterday, to see how the designers choose colors, patterns, and textures to create a particular “feel” for a room. There’s no obvious way to find the right combination, but when you do, the result is really beautiful.

Maybe one day I’ll get good at working with patterns and textures. For now, I just enjoy looking at them.
