For custom textile company Bassett McNab, classic choices never go out of style. Their Revival collection celebrates timeless design, with reimagined takes on some of their most beloved prints from over the years. Elaborate ikats, neat block prints, and meandering florals make for the perfect way to cloak a room in color, whether with window treatments or wallpaper.

Fine artist and textile designer Teil Duncan is an expert in print mixing. Her eponymous brand offers plenty of inspiration for combining myriad styles and high-end patterns that play nicely with each other. Teil suggests turning her fabrics into curtains and shades to add layers and dimension to a room. Dress up the scheme with even more texture in the form of a petite pleated lampshade or skirted side table.

The joint venture of friends Morgan Hood and Ally Holderness, fabric and wallcovering brand Elliston House specializes in vivid designs with a touch of whimsy. Morgan and Ally recommend sprucing up a neglected area, such as a spare bathroom or bare corner, with a joyful wallpaper for an instant uplifting impact. In lieu of buying new pieces, try recovering a well-loved chair or settee with something stylish to create a space where you’ll want to spend time.
