Is yours all matchy matchy or is it color coordinated?
Are all your curtains the same fabric?
Does your outside color match the inside decor?
Did you do your own sewing or make your own cushions?
Im curious. For ours, I'm thinking color coordinated with different fabrics in dining area, over sink and bedroom. The inside colors aren't the same as the outside. It's most likely going back to its yellow roots.
I may sew at least some of the curtains. I don't know about the dinette cushions. I have no template/ dinette seat to work from yet.

Well...
I sew square curtains that cover the windows. Try to match the inside color of the appliances and floor. Not the best judge of that. LOL. Cushions I have a very talented lady do them.
I hope some of our better tailors and seamstresses will chime in here.

I am trying my best to coordinate the interior without being so monochromatic. I tend to do that a lot so I am reaching out of my comfort zone. With that said, our interior will not match our exterior. But we're ok with that. I found my curtain fabric last night as well as a coordinating quilt. Our booth seats are a blue-ish/green/gray vinyl which matches unbelievably well. Here's a pic of my fabric & quilt. I am trying to get a picture off of FB of my cushions so I can post it and recommend the manufacturer but I'm having a hard time doing that.  |

I had never sewed anything ever before we got our North Star, but I ended up sewing the cushion covers and the curtains. Our stove and fridge is avacado green, so I have three fabrics: Kelly green for the sofa, floral with red, coral, turquoise, yellow and green for the dinette and sofa back and a striped fabric with the same colors for the bunk. I was very surprised at how easy it was to do the cushion covers and I even added zippers so I can remove them if need be. The curtains are green with a tiny turquoise flower with a red band at the bottom and a polka dot trim. We will paint the outside with a green stripe. I'm a bit ocd about stuff, so I needed all of the colors to match and then mixed in patterns.

chanticocat, Might I suggest that you spend a lot of time (did I say "A LOT"?) looking at what others have done? You can put the term "Airflyte" into a google search and be lost looking at photos for days. You will find a great deal of good ideas and sometimes they meld together in your imagination to give you your own perfect answer. Just for instance, this is what was original in the Airflyte that I have:  And here is another that was posted:  Here is something else:  Take your time, and do it nice!

I like bright colors. I sewed the valances and curtains together so they are just one panel.

I designed my own retro fabric on spoonflower and I am doing my cushions in a red duck canvas type fabric white cream trim and cream tufted buttons. The curtains are red with starburst ,

Here's ours. No real coordination just whatever we've decided we like. The outside of our trailer is yellow/white. My wife made the curtains (no prior sewing experience). We had the benches done professionally.  |

We had the benches done professionally. So 54 I think you nailed it right on the head...its not necessarily what coordinates, but what you like and what matters to you! I am an anal retentive pain when it comes to decorating, and I spend countless hours on what matches and looks the best. Some don't like Shellac. Some hate paint. Some don't like a toilet and some do. Everyone has their own tastes and that is what makes this such a great forum! At the end of the day, the most important thing (that I need to remember) is that you are OUT with family and friends, enjoying God's great earth, sipping a cold one of some fashion, creating memories and relaxing. By the way, your trailer looks fantastic! Good job for your wife never sewing before! |
