Small-scale patterns are typically characterized by motifs that are less than an inch in repeat, offering a subtle, intricate design that does not overwhelm other elements.

Can small scale-fabrics be used for large projects like drapery or upholstery?

Absolutely! Small-scale fabrics are excellent for drapery and light upholstery, adding texture and interest without overwhelming the space.
