Clever combinations
A spotted rug, a patterned armchair and colourful flowered pillows – sounds like quite a daring combination, right? But with a few tips and tricks, patterned furniture is no longer just for the brave. The thing that really makes the look work is if different patterns share basic colours and shades that act as a common theme throughout the room. Another common denominator could be an era or a style, or even repeating shapes and colours. The combination possibilities are endless, so let your creativity run wild! We’ve got two looks to show you that can be styled simply but effectively:
Elegant look in black and white
Whether you go for large patterns or small, when it comes to the pure black and white look, anything goes. Black and white convey a certain elegance and class, which can be made even more exciting and varied when you add patterns into the mix. Furniture with texture adds a little something extra to this look, and combined with a few wooden highlights, it can have a nice, warm feel.
A wonderful mix of colourful patterns
This look really comes into its own with plenty of different colours and sweeping patterns. Larger pieces of furniture should have a clean, low-key design so that they take a back seat and give the look a harmonious effect. For that extra touch of elegance, use high-quality and glossy materials such as velvet, glass or porcelain. Round off the look with repeating colours, for example by opting for a shade of green that reflects your favourite potted plant for cushions, blankets or accessories. Make your dreams come true – there are no limits to your imagination here!
