Patterns are the perfect way to call attention to a specific area in an interior space. Patterns are great for incorporating a certain color carried throughout a room and also allow you to quickly coordinate bedding, wall colors, and accents pillows. When decorating with patterns, designers use “the rule of three”: Choose three different patterns to play off each other, as a way to not over-power a space. Most decorators use one dominant, large scale pattern, working it throughout the room as a main fabric for upholstery, carpeting, or even as painted stripes on an accent wall.
A secondary, medium scale pattern is generally used for less dominant furnishings and accessories, such as side chairs or drapes. Choose a third pattern as an accent in accessories like pillows, throws and lamp shades. Three color-related or similar motif patterns combine well together and a few related solids will create unity within the room.
