Mixing and matching patterns and colors can offer enviable design options, but doing too much can overwhelm a room. Mixing prints and adding in the right colors is a design aspect that requires the right balance to make it all work together harmoniously.

Today, I'll share 3 reasons why selecting the right colors and patterns elevates your home’s ambiance and design…  

1. Colors Set the Mood

2. Patterns Transform a Space         

Patterns can transform a space and create visual interest, infusing your personality into any room. From the movement in wood striations, veining in marble, geometric tile patterns, and intricate textiles, the power of pattern can add energy or tranquility to a room.  Texture can also create a cozy space when you introduce different fabrics.

Pro tip: A patterned fabric can change the scale of a piece of furniture or even the scale of an entire room!        

3. Pair Colors & Patterns for a Cohesive Home

Determining the primary function of a room will help you pair the ideal colors and patterns based on the mood that matches that function. For example, you may want calming colors with delicate patterns in your bedroom. On the other hand, you may use a fun pop of color in your family room with a distinct design. 

When mixing patterns, you want to find the right combination of shape, color, shade, and size matters in creating a harmonious balance. This will determine the overall look and feel of your home.
