Decorating With Pattern
/
0 Comments
Pattern is the most evocative of decorating tools, easily transporting us to a time or a place, from quintessentially English floral prints to bright Moorish fabrics. A mix of patterns, whether on furniture or wallpaper, has the power to create either a calming cocoon or add excitement and drama - it's all in how you use it.
If you opt for a patterned wallpaper with a bold ground colour - as our decoration director Gabby Deeming has in this pink living room - a good rule of thumb is to pick out the secondary colours in the pattern and use them as a jumping off point for the rest of the room's furnishings.
Bathroom wallpaper in pretty prints paired with accessories in complimentary colours is perfect for an eclectic look. A red and green colour scheme is particularly eye-catching; and all the better if you can add another print via a reflection in the mirror.
The modern living room sets the tone for the combination of pattern and texture to be found throughout the house. The walls are hung with a collection of starburst mirrors from various antiques fairs.
This eclectic yet restful bedroom layers bold paint colours and vintage furniture with pretty, pastel prints.
