We all have it - a tendency towards pattern or one towards solids. Just look in your closet. If you've never taken the time to notice, I guarantee that you will see a commonality of colors or styles that you lean towards.
The same is true with decor, but it is important to venture outside of your comfort zone to create a well balanced space by using texture, color, and pattern. When mixing patterns, I like to go for a connecting thread, literally. I find a color palate that it pleasing, and use that as a jumping off point to find patterns in contrasting scales that work together.
Generally, I like to use a solid, a geometric, and a more organic pattern together, I find that works best, but it is really up to you. Isn't that what design is all about anyways?
If you are a novice to mixing patterns, why not try your hand at it using toss pillows? They are can be found inexpensively and easily changed out if you don't like them.
Which pattern grouping do you prefer?
