Hooray, you’re ready to make a change in your home and want to freshen up with new pillows…..or you are ready to recover a chair, sofa, curtains or all of the above. What matters most is finding the fabric/colors that are just right for the feel you are creating in your home. The prints that are just right for YOU.
Love the fabric but need a different color? Custom colorations are welcome at Paprika Home! Let’s get started.
Melika is part of the swatch collection a designer uses to show my fabrics. Both the designer and her customer loved Melika but they needed a buttery yellow color rather than a chocolate brown.
The first step is pinning down the yellow color. In this case, color chips were mailed to me to work from.
The next step for me is to match the color chips as closely as I can and to send digital files for approval. Sometimes colors are tweaked and additional files are sent. Once we are all happy with the color matching I have two samples printed on the fabric we will be using, one for each of us, so that we are on the same page. Final colors are chosen from the swatch.
It’s so exciting to see your vision come to life, so the next step is the one I love most. What is it? The day you hold a swatch of Melika in the new buttery yellow in your hand and see it in your home. Woo hoo!!
All that’s left is final approval and we’re off to printing the yardage. Yep, that’s it!
Last but not least, if it isn’t possible to send actual color chips for matching, I gotcha covered!
I can send you a Color map file with a large range of colors for printing. The numbers you see on each color rectangle are HEX codes used industry wide. These codes identify each color when it comes time to print. Once again, because colors can print differently than they look on a screen, swatches guarantee how your final fabric will print.
Hooray, now you know that a color change is not complicated! It’s really quite fun. If you have any questions, let me know!
