It’s All In The Material Mix: How To Mix Patterns Like An Interior Designer

How to mix and use patterns in your space.

How to mix and use patterns in your space.

Mixing patterns to achieve balance, harmony, movement, color and contrast in your home furnishings and decor can be a little tricky, but a savvy Interior Designer knows the rules, but breaks them like an artist. Here’s some design tips utilizing some of the main principals or rules for pattern balance and alignment in interior design to spruce up your nest, and to help you see how we see. 

✨Start with your neutral color. Choose two accent colors. ...

✨Use at least two to three patterns in a room and vary the scale. ...

✨One of the patterns should have all three colors. ...

✨Try to use colors that are the same intensity of hue. ...

✨Vary the types of the patterns. Florals match well with stripes or small geometric patterns, paisley goes well with herringbone or stripes, ikat pairs well with natural pattern or stripes, animal prints goes well with paisley and graphic prints. ...

✨Distribute patterns evenly throughout the room, this keeps your eye moving creating a flowing rhythm of organized movement and continuity of visual repetitions throughout your space. ...

✨Don't place too many uncoordinated or random patterns on top of each other, as this randomizes your room rhythm, instead break them up with solids so your eyes have somewhere to pause. ...

✨Patterns don't have to be full of different colors, they can be tone on tone. ...

✨Matching draperies to one pattern used in upholstery or pillows can make a material impact. More can be more! Don’t forget the trim for a designer touch...

✨Remember, graphic pattern can be in your wallpaper and rugs or carpets, too, which can greatly alter your perception of the space. 

✨Restraint can be great, but know that maximalism of curated collections and intensely saturated colors is trending. Mix on!
