We don\u2019t blame you if you\u2019re a little weary from all those years spent de-cluttering and choosing the perfect solid palette.\u00a0If you need a little refresher course, we have all the answers right here. We want to help you work toward adding patterns and prints to\u00a0your interiors. The minute you see the pop of visual interest that a print can bring into your space, you\u2019ll be ready to take the plunge and give your rooms a much needed dose of pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Take a second to picture a room decorated entirely in solids (see the image we&#8217;ve attached above!). While it should certainly seem sleek and serene, there is a possibility that the look conveyed can be too plain\u00a0and appear boring.

Larger patterns, though they may seem a bit overwhelming\u00a0at first, tend to be associated with a calm, relaxed visual interest. While in contrast, smaller patterns can be seen as too busy \u00a0for some people.<\/p>\n<p>Let the pattern\u2019s size determine how it\u2019s used within\u00a0the room. Bigger patterns\u00a0are best suited for things like sprawling wallpaper,\u00a0the decorative element or a\u00a0statement piece of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/furniture\/\">furniture<\/a>. While smaller\u00a0ones are best reserved for use in small doses such as\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/cushions-and-throws\/\">cushions or throw<\/a> and decor items. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/moss-stripe-cushion-green-50x50\/\" target=\"_blank\">Moss Stitch Cushions<\/a> are a favourite, accented with bold stripes that allow you to achieve the perfect\u00a0look in your living room space.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to visual weight (we\u2019re talking about which areas of a room instantly draw our eyes when we look at them), it\u2019s easy to test it as soon as you walk into a room. Take a step back and look at the design as a whole, you should be able to instinctively sense if the room feels visually balanced or if it is\u00a0too cluttered in\u00a0one corner\u00a0or the other.\u00a0In interior design, we&#8217;re always striving for a visual weight that is balanced. If you want proof, take a second to think about how one of the rooms in your home would feel if you took all the furniture and pushed it all into the same corner. Odds are you would feel as though you were standing on the deck of a sinking ship.<\/p>\n<p>Since prints and patterns are naturally eye-catching, they are a great go-to item when you feel as though one corner of your space needs a little extra weight behind it. Consider a large patterned wall-hanging or even a printed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/sofas\/\">sofa<\/a> if you really need to pack a big punch.

Doing so was thought to make the space too cluttered\u00a0in a way that would overwhelm the eye and confuse the overall look of the space. So, it was recommended that you pick one particular pattern and intersperse it strategically throughout the space.\u00a0Now, however, times have definitely changed. Rather than being seen as \u201ctoo busy\u201d, the ability to successfully mix up patterns within a space signifies a clever\u00a0eye and adds a level of complexity to the space that is often only found in professionally designed homes.<\/p>\n<p>And what&#8217;s the trick that makes all these patterns work harmoniously rather than clash? It\u2019s all about colour. Choosing distinct patterns that all fall within the one color palette\u00a0will allow them to come together cohesively while still giving your space the delicate intricacy\u00a0you desire.\u00a0Okay, so maybe we just told you to use similar colors in your patterns to help them all work together. That\u2019s true, for the most part. But, as any interior design lover\u00a0knows, the best looks are often achieved when you bend the rules and trust your eye. We recommend that you make a splash in your space by adding one contrasting patterned element.\u00a0While the colour may not be the exact same as the main shade in your palette, it should be one that coordinates well. Take a cue from basic\u00a0color theory\u00a0and make sure that the distinct colour your using fits within one of the main colour schemes. Remember, the biggest impact is achieved when two shades sit directly opposite each other on the colour.<\/p>\n<p>Also, keep in mind that this should only account for one of your design elements. Make it count. Choose a piece that you love and focus on making it the focal point of your room. It could be something like the couch in your living room\u00a0or the duvet cover for the bed in your master suite.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1126\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1126\" style=\"width: 753px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1126\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2.jpg\" alt=\"xxxxxxxxx\" width=\"753\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2.jpg 753w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2-680x323.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2-250x119.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2-550x261.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2-379x180.jpg 379w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Capture2-631x300.jpg 631w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Assorted Aztec Poufs available in-store and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/aztec-pouf-in-cream-and-navy\/\" target=\"_blank\">online<\/a> today with inspiration on how to incorporate similar styles in your living space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With modern design advocating for sleek lines and monochromatic colors, it can sometimes feel like using pattern is an outdated choice.
