Strategically placed patterns can bring bold impact to any space. A beautifully upholstered chair or abstract painting is a great place to start. Statement pieces have power and should be used wisely striking the careful balance between visual appeal and visual implosion.
The trick is balance. Understand your confidence level on the spectrum:
- If you are daring and want to go bold, you can use wallpaper to introduce pattern. Choose one focal wall if your pattern is loud and accent with upholstery in complimentary solid colors atop of a more neutral rug. Also, shouting colors do the trick.
- If you are feeling patterns, but don’t want to overdo it, choose wallpaper patterns with less contrast (all in close together colors) or go for solid walls. Use one or two statement furniture pieces with pattern: chairs, an ottoman, a cupboard and select pillows that play off your core theme.
- If you are looking for just a touch of pattern, stick to pillows, curtains, rugs and framed prints surrounding neutral furnishings. You can also choose a color palette that has soft contrast for a subtle effect.
