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
