Follow these 2 easy rules when it comes to mixing patterns, in order to achieve a harmonious, coordinated look:
1. Stick to 3 patterns:
* Geometric: simple lines and shapes that are repeated
(examples: stripes, polka dots)
* Organic: nature-inspired, more difficult to see the repeated pattern
(examples: flowers, leaves)
* Solid/Small Scale Geometric: solid color or a very small geometric pattern
Pro Tip: Start with the pattern you love the most and branch out from there to fill in all 3
2. Ensure the 3 patterns overlap with color to tie them together
Here's an example:
3 Patterns, Overlapping with color:
Geometric = the green and white chair
Organic = the floral lumbar pillow with greens and blues
Solid = the blue drapes
Voila! A cohesive, interesting design with perfectly mixed patterns 🤩
