Small Patterns
The smallest color proportion packs the biggest punch. This color creates bold contrast and stands out from the other areas in the room. Use this color in pieces you want to pop. Using contrasting colors gives you total control over which areas you want to highlight.

Poppy colors are best used in decorative pieces. Incorporate a bit of pizzazz through accent chairs and rugs in fun prints, or make wall art the focal point of your room. Whatever areas you want to stand out from the rest should be in this color proportion.

Define Your Color Palette

Define the color palette of your room by choosing your base colors. The right color scheme creates a balanced, put-together look.

1

Choose a Color Foundation

Set the tone of the room by starting with a neutral foundation color. Use this color for your walls, floor, or fixed surfaces.

2

Complement With a Secondary Color

Select a secondary color that complements your foundation. It should create subtle contrast that doesn't compete with the foundation color.

3

Finish With a Pop of Color

Create contrast with bold furniture upholstered in a pattern that packs a punch. Patterns should complement your palette but stand out from the rest of the room.

The Art of Mixing & Matching

After selecting your color palette, create visual interest by layering one or multiple patterns. Patterns of differing scales complement one another for a cohesive design. Don’t be afraid to mix different patterns.


Follow these simple pattern/color ratios to design a space that is colorful, fun, and put-together.


a) One large pattern + one small pattern + base color(s)


b) One large pattern + one small pattern + one medium pattern + base color(s)

Create Contrast

Add varying degrees of light and dark colors and patterns to create contrast and control the focal points of your space.

Pair a deep, neutral wall color with a bold, patterned accent chair to make your furniture the main attraction, or let your walls take the stage by pairing neutral upholstery with a bold pattern on the walls.


However you mix, there is a place for you within the patterned playground.

– Rebecca Beckman from Magnolia Magazine.

Create Harmony

Patterns should coexist peacefully and never compete for attention. When working with multiple patterns, choose differing styles of prints that complement one another. Mixing geometric and floral prints creates trend-forward interest, whereas designing with only geometric or only floral prints makes a room feel busy.


Have fun with your design, and don't be afraid to combine more than one pattern into your space. Just ensure that the patterns follow the rules of the scale.

Push Your Style Boundaries

Ensure you’re having fun and letting your personality shine through your design decisions. Choose colors and patterns that are the best visual representation of you. The rules of style are meant to guide your choices. Don’t be afraid to bend the rules to create a space you love.
