The art of mixing patterns is key to bringing life into your design. We’ll give you tips on how to achieve a designer look in this month’s blog.
To tap into this design skill, you’ll need to know the fundamentals of mixing patterns. Doing this well will help you to create dynamic spaces.
- Scale and Size: Mix different scale patterns to avoid overwhelming the space. A cohesive combination of large, medium, and intricate patterns provides balance.
- Color Coordination: A great way to create a color palette for your room is through inspiration from a multi-colored pattern.
- Pattern Types: Combine different patterns such as geometrics, stripes, and florals. Also, make sure to mix a more subtle pattern with a busy one.
- Neutral Elements: Introducing neutral elements such as solid colors or a monochrome textural pattern to give the eye a break.
- Contrast: Contrast helps define patterns. Placing a busy pattern in front of a solid will guide your eye to the show stopper.
Take these fundamentals with you and have fun. Design is about playing and being creative, so remember, always make it yours!
