Suzani and medallion patterns were inspired by traditional embroidered textiles and rugs, so they bring warmth and a handcrafted feel to a room. Use a large medallion on a headboard, a single accent chair, or a pair of pillows where the full motif can be seen. On drapery, they create a dramatic backdrop in a dining room or bedroom. Because these patterns are so lively, pair them with simple stripes, solids, or small textures in a color pulled from the design. Ask your workroom about centering the medallion on cushions and chair backs, and order a sample to check the scale first.
