Patterns

Choosing a pattern for a room can be very difficult as there are so many to choose from. A pattern is a repetition of line form and color and can add interest to any room. Patterns can be as simple as clean straight lines or as complex as a swirling floral print. This guide will help you use a pattern to best effect.

Pattern is pretty much everywhere even in nature. For example, if you have ever seen a marble stone you can see it has a natural pattern.

Patterns add special effect to a room by…..

  • Giving the eye something interesting to look at

  • Mediating between two duller, solid pattern-less surfaces or pulls a look together

  • Creating an instant impact

  • Setting particular style or period or mood to a room

Historic Patterns
Historic patterns reappear from year to year in fresh, different ways. They appear in different combinations of color. Color and scale affect a pattern making it more or less formal.
