To coordinate different patterns in your home, vary their scales, use a consistent color palette, and mix different types of patterns such as florals, geometrics, and stripes. Create a harmonious look by starting with one large, dominant “hero” pattern and then layering medium and small patterns around it. Use solid colors to break up patterns, allowing the eye to rest and preventing visual chaos.
Choose Your Patterns and Colors
1. Select a Color Scheme:
Pick two to three colors from an existing piece, like a rug or artwork, to serve as the basis for all your patterns.
2. Vary Pattern Types:
Aim for a mix of design types, such as a large floral, a geometric pattern (like stripes or dots), and a small-scale print or a more abstract design.
3. Establish a “Hero” Pattern:
Start with one large-scale pattern for a major element, such as wallpaper or an area rug, which will serve as the room’s focal point.
Arrange Patterns for Balance and Flow
1. Mix Scales:
Combine a large-scale pattern with medium and small-scale patterns to create interest and avoid a cluttered look.
2. Distribute Patterns:
Spread the patterns evenly throughout the room rather than clustering them in one area.
3. Use Solids for Breathing Room:
Integrate solid-colored pieces, such as a plain sofa or solid-colored accessories, to provide contrast and allow the eye a place to rest.
4. Introduce Variety:
Place different patterns on different types of items to create separation, such as patterned wallpaper with a striped throw or a patterned rug with solid-colored chairs.
Tips for Success
Start small:
If you’re new to pattern mixing, begin with smaller accessories like pillows or lampshades to ease into the process.
Invert colors:
For a calming effect, you can use the same colors across different patterns but invert them, such as a polka dot pillow next to a geometric pattern.
Don’t be afraid to experiment:
Gather a few different patterns and solids, and try placing them together in your space to see what clicks
