Lots of times, designers come to us for art that "goes with" a particular fabric  or wall covering. Normally, we have art in stock that works. However, now we have another alternative.

Pictured below is a sample board with fabrics selected for three color schemes; Scheme 1, 2 and 3. Each color scheme is comprised of  the 3 fabrics shown in the middle panel. Five images derived from the combined  palette of all three fabrics in each scheme are shown with the samples.  As shown, these DIRECT interpretations based on the combined palettes of all three fabrics yield  remarkably consistent  results.

Many designers, however, would like a little less precise match with their fabrics. This can be accomplished in severalways. One of the least complicated is shown below. 

The Images at the left are the same as shown previously. They are derived from the palette representing all three fabrics.  Images in the middle and at the right derive from the palette of only one of the fabrics in the scheme. Images in the middle derive from FABRIC 3 of Scheme 1, while images at the right derive from FABRIC 2 of Scheme 1.

The exact sample that is used to generate the palette for the derived images determines how similar or dissimilar the image is to the fabric samples. In all cases, however, the images would "hang" with furniture covered in any of  the fabrics in Scheme 1.

What about  realistic art?

Pictured below are two photographic images; one of the New York Public Library and the other of the New York Stock Exchange.

These are simple photographs of architectural scenes.

The panels below show each image "converted" to hang with the three color schemes derived  previously.

As shown, the photographs have become substantially abstract and each color scheme represents a wildly different solution to the art . Each, however, would  be a good fit to the color requirements of the fabric samples provided.
