I get asked all the time...how do you mix patterns and while I don’t have a “formula” for it. These are a few foundational tips that I come back to every time: • Start classic. A medium-scale floral paired with a medium-scale stripe is always a safe, beautiful foundation. The colors on this don’t even have to match! • Play with scale. Mix a small gingham print, with a bold block print, and a medium floral print to create balance and visual interest. Color cohesion is important here; you want them to feel like they are “related” but NOT closely related! • Repeat a pattern in different colors. Using the same motif (in my case...gingham) in different colors keeps things cohesive without feeling too matchy. • Add a pause. A solid fabric gives the eye a place to rest and lets your patterns shine. If pattern mixing has ever felt intimidating, SAVE this and come back to it the next time you’re styling a room 🤍 - patternmixing vintageinspiredhome layeredinteriors classicinteriors homedecorideas
