Using patterns in your home can add a great design element and add interest in any room. However, sometimes getting the right pattern or the right combination of patterns can be challenging. Here a few things to keep in mind when working with patterns:

  1. Choose the right place. There are a few places that patterns can really add to a home. Instead of adding a furniture piece with a design, consider adding a more permanent element. Some of the hottest uses of patterns today are on kitchen back splashes and bathroom flooring. Think about adding some interest to one of these spaces! Here are some of our favorite examples:           bathroom floor         backsplash
  2. Choose a large print. Large prints are more visually appealing in most cases and therefore a safer choice. If you choose a design that is small it can instantly overwhelm an area and make it feel cluttered.
  3. Be careful with color. Depending on your taste, you may be going for a more understated look. If you are planning on using a bold print, go for more neutral colors. If you are looking for a more basic print, consider adding a pop of color! Here are a few examples for you to follow:                 bold              color

Patterns can add a fun and unique element to your home. Keep these tips in mind when choosing where to use your pattern and which pattern to use. Shop around and discover what you like and dislike before making a final decision and you won’t go wrong! Your home should reflect your sense of style and speak to you. If it accomplishes that, you made the right choice!
