Mixing patterns, when done correctly, looks beautiful! Here are some tips to help you feel confident with displaying three or four different patterns in one room.
1. Start by finding a favorite!
Find a floral or strip or plaid that you love and want to anchor your room's decor around.
2. General rule of thumb #1: choose a large sized pattern, a medium sized pattern, and a small sized pattern. This allows for some balance in the room.
3. General rule of thumb #2: mix one of each - a floral, a stripe, a plaid, a check.
4. Remember that colors must blend and not fight eachother. Two or more colors should be consistent throughout all of the chosen patterns. BUT do not feel like you have to match the colors perfectly!
5. Make sure there is a place in the room for the eye to "rest"! Mix in solids in the dominant color to creat a respite for the eye.
Happy Decorating!!
