Why doesn’t this room feel busy? Because, it should. 👀 In this space from our Moorings Bay project, we’ve got striped walls, a checked rug, block-print lampshades, textured bedding, botanical art, and a mix of pillows. On paper, yeah, it’s a lot. In person though, it feels like a deep breath.
This is our go-to formula for mixing patterns:
1. Stick to one color story, like the blue and cream family seen here.
2. Vary the scale. Tall stripe on the walls, medium check on the rug, tiny print on the lampshade.
3. Count textures as patterns. A waffle quilt and an embroidered sham all add visual interest.
4. Give the eye a place to rest. A crisp white duvet, a simple linen headboard, a clean white frame.
Save this for the next time you’re mixing patterns. 🤍
