If this is your first step into the world of pattern, welcome! If you’re a lifelong pattern enthusiast, you are in good company. Either way, once you pattern, it is almost impossible to stop. Consider yourself warned.

PLAY WITH SCALE
When it comes to pattern, size does matter. Combine large, medium, and small-scale patterns in the same space so they complement instead of competing with each other.
2. CONNECT WITH COLOR
Repeat the same color in each pattern to create a sense of cohesion in your space, even if the motifs are significantly different.
VARY PATTERN TYPES
Using all stripes or florals could feel overwhelming. Instead, use varying motifs to add interest to your space.
BALANCE WITH SOLIDS
Incorporating solids can create moments of calm + break up pattern. This can be done via textiles, furnishings, and other decor.
DISTRIBUTE PATTERN EVENLY
Be mindful about using pattern everywhere in your space rather than just one area. This will keep the room from feeling unbalanced.
DON’T OVERTHINK IT!
We love breaking design rules. It brings creative tension to a space. Your home should make you happy + be filled with things you love. You do YOU!
