The Art of Mixing Textures and Patterns in Interior Design

Let's start with a neutral base: Begin with a chill color palette for the bigger stuff in the room, like walls, floors, and large furniture. This sets the stage for the patterns and textures to pop. 
 
Choose a chill color scheme: Pick a color scheme that ties the different patterns and textures together. This could be based on colors that go well together or shades of the same color family. 
 
Mix up pattern sizes: Combine patterns of different sizes to keep things interesting. For example, pair a big floral print with a small geometric pattern or a medium stripe. 
 
Use a variety of textures: Mix in different textures like wood, metal, glass, fabric, and natural fibers to add some tactile appeal to the space. 
 
Stick to a limited palette: Keep the number of colors and patterns you use to a minimum to avoid going overboard. Try to stick to three or four main colors and patterns. 
 
Anchor the space with solids: Use solid colors to ground the space and give your eyes a break. Solid-colored furniture, rugs, or drapes can help balance out all the patterns and textures. 
 
Consider the style of the room: Different interior design styles call for different approaches to mixing patterns and textures. For example, bohemian style embraces a mix of patterns and textures, while a more minimalist style may focus on subtle texture variations. 
 
Experiment with layering: Try layering different textures and patterns to create depth and visual richness. For example, layer a patterned rug over a solid-colored carpet, or mix and match throw pillows with different patterns and textures on a sofa. 
 
Pay attention to balance: Spread patterns and textures evenly throughout the space to create a sense of balance. Avoid putting all the patterns in one spot. 
 
Trust your instincts & ENJOY IT: In the end, the key to successful pattern and texture mixing is to trust your gut and have fun with the process. Experiment with different combinations and arrangements until you achieve a look that feels just right.
