THE POWER OF PATTERN

Like color, pattern is a powerful decorating tool with boundless potential. It can be used to stretch the dimensions of a room, define areas within your home, or to reinforce a room’s character.

The best rule of thumb with pattern is to choose a theme and build your plan from there. Carpets in floral, stripe, and geometric patterns give a room instant personality that can spark a decorating approach. From there, you can choose furnishings and accessories that work in tandem with the shapes and colors featured in the carpet.

Mixing patterns can be tricky. Remember, if the patterns are related by form, color or texture, the mix is more likely to succeed. To make sure you are comfortable with your pattern choice, bring some carpet samples home before you buy. The proportion of a pattern can look quite different in the context of your room.
