Mixing patterns can be intimidating when designing a room because of the variety of options available. When mixed correctly, patterns are excellent design tools for injecting life and personality into every aspect of your space. However, a mixed-pattern misstep can make your room look chaotic instead. How can you avoid making common mistakes when mixing patterns in your own home?
It is best to choose only a few patterns to mix in one room. Featuring a solid color throughout the space as well will ground your patterns and unify them in a common color scheme. It is also important to consider the size of the patterns you plan to mix. Choosing one larger pattern and a few complimentary smaller patterns to mix throughout the room will give you a look that is visually interesting but balanced. Changing up fabric texture can also be a subtle way to play with patterns in your space.
