Consider a bold shade of red to warm up a room. A fabric with a graphic pattern, such as this hand-blocked print, provides a vivid contrast against the plain panels. To carry off this look, the fabric should be roughly 17 inches in depth. (This is not a set measurement, but make it large enough to have a strong presence.) Start by determining how high you want the fabric panel -- pin it in place, and look before you cut. We used hot glue for this project, but any type of fabric adhesive will do.
