Aggie Purvinska You could do a simpler pattern on the other side or just a solid with colors picked up from the fabric, but I wouldn't trust pictures to make these choices.

Stanton Designs-online design services You can see if this specific pattern comes in coordinating fabrics for the other side. I think a soft stripe would compliment it well.

bdennison Yes, I agree with soft stripe. When you turn it down (or over) there's a whole new feel.

mpoulsom I would do a solid, but I'm boring sometimes! :)

Natalie Hi---I suggest a solid in either a taupe or mink color. Good Luck! Pics for inspiration. :)

greenthumb2 I think a dot pattern would be a change to the more casual side if you wanted your room/bed to look less formal. You can still use quality fabric. Pick up two colors from your existing paisley. :=) I will look for a link but Aggie is right, you need to be there. PS. Your paisley is lovely looking. Is that fabric cotton sateen?

greenthumb2 Hi applesider1111. I am unsure if it is RL.

You know, I'll bet if you emailed them directly, they would be happy to write to you about it. After all, it is their business. There are so many fabrics out there. I found a place called Schindlers online that goes through tons of fabrics for the home. Perhaps you could email them and ask them to help you identify it. Honestly, I have remnants of super fabrics and have no idea who manufactured them...antique fabric, damask two sided grey and creme, brilliant aqua with embroidered flowers. Not a one has any name or number on them....sometimes you have to work with remnants.

I suspect only people who work with fabric everyday in large quantities can "name that fabric." :=)
