Perfect Pairings: Matching Wallpaper & Fabric Collections Spring/Summer 2022

There is something so effortly easy about pairing fabric with its matching wallpapers and when done properly the effect is effortlessly stylish.  Matching fabris and wallpapers can be used in a subtle way to provide the odd accent which pulls a room together, or more boldly with a fully immersive all over fabric and wallpaper design. Whatever your preference, we have got you covered with our round up of the latest matching fabrics and wallpapers from this year's Spring and Summer collections from your favourite brands.
