Whether you're purchasing new or reupholstering/slipcovering existing furniture, have you ever considered using two (or more) fabrics rather than one for a more unique look?

but you can also mix a plain with a pattern...

Traditional Home

Designers Guild

or plain with pattern and contrast piping to tie it together...

Country Living

or mix more than one pattern.
