Mixing patterns might seem intimidating, but with a few simple tips, you can create a stylish, cohesive look.
Begin with a neutral foundation—like beige or gray. This allows your patterns to shine without overwhelming the space.
Stick to a consistent color palette. Vary patterns within the same tones to create harmony.
Mix patterns of different sizes. Combine large-scale prints with smaller, detailed ones for balance.
Blend different types of patterns—florals, geometrics, and stripes can complement each other when balanced.
Use solids to break up patterns and prevent them from clashing. It gives the eye a place to rest.
