Patterns Every Decor Needs

I love designing spaces when patterns are involved but, patternwork can be a very personal thing. 

 Some people like florals while others like geometrics.  And, some people like traditional patterns while some like more contempoary versions.  However, when it comes to classic and timeless design style, there are FIVE PATTERNS that every home decor can benefit from. regardless of your design style.

  1. STRIPES–one of the most classic patterns of all which can be interpreted in so many color combinations and widths. 
  2. PLAID–a more traditional pattern which lends a classic feel to decor.  Smaller plaids take on a  more casual, country feel and larger plaids can feel a bit more modern.
  3. POLKA DOT–dots are a playful and whimsical addition to decor.  
  4. HOUNDSTOOTH–another classic pattern that lends itself to more traditional decor when done in black and white, and more contemporary decor when color is used.
  5. CHEVRON–chevron patterns are perfect for all styles of decor.  Depending on the width of the lines, chevron can feel classic or modern.

Here are a few inspirational images using the FIVE key patterns. 

Be inspired by their application, placement and color variety.
