When it comes to interior design, the right combination of bold patterns and textures can be a game-changer. Mixing these adds depth, interest, and personality to your home. Here’s how to master the art of combining patterns and textures into one striking yet cohesive design.
Start with a Neutral Base
Create a balanced look with neutrals, which will let the boldness in your patterns and textures pop. Neutral-colored walls, floors, and big pieces of furniture offer an even-keel backdrop for your room. This helps to avoid a too-overwhelming room and puts the focus on your star-of-the-show pattern.
Choose a Pattern Palette
Choose a mix of patterns that work well together. Combine large-scale patterns with smaller ones, like big geometrics paired with small florals. Use the same general color scheme to keep the patterns harmonious and not fighting. For instance, use navy and gold stripes with paisley prints in similar hues.
Layer Different Textures
Layered texture creates richness and gives depth to your design. The marrying of materials-velvet, wool, leather, linen-creates a tangible experience. Throws, rugs, and cushions with texture can make great visual and tactile points in your space.
Focal Points
Design focal points around bold patterns and texture to garner an audience with effect. In case of inclusion of a unique, statement area rug, make up your feature wall pattern or introduce a vivid, upholstered armchair as anchor pieces- giving the feel the room holds the tone, literally.
Balancing them all with just sold colors
You can balance bold patterns with solid colors to bring harmony. Solid colors will not let the space get too busy and can root it down to the floor. Add contrast with solid-colored curtains, cushions, or wall art to give focus to the patterns.
Mix Media
Mixing media for interesting textures: fabric patterns together with artwork and metallic accents will create, amidst wood and all plants, a mixture of interest. Laying these techniques creates layers, adding complexity with intrigue to inside design.
Pattern Usage Strategically
Use the patterns judiciously in various parts of the room. Use bold patterns in small accessories such as cushions or lamp shades, and save bigger patterns for the rugs or upholstered furniture. This way, you can get patterns in the space without cluttering it.
Create a Cohesive Look
Ensure all patterns and textures work in harmony to provide a coherent look. Pay attention to the scale and placement of patterns, considering how they interact with other design elements. A well-coordinated approach enhances the overall aesthetic and ensures a visually appealing result.
It’s about embracing the art of combining bold patterns and textures into your home to make it dynamic, full of style. Let your imagination run wild as you play with the patterns and textures until you come up with your space.
