If there\u2019s one styling struggle out there that seems to really stump people, it\u2019s how to mix patterns in a living room. But it\u2019s actually a lot easier than you think. When it comes down to it, it’s all about choosing a color palette and a few coordinating patterns that balance each other.<\/p>\n

We asked Room & Board Merchandising & Design Specialist Zach Herbst<\/strong> to share his thoughts on how to mix patterns in a living room. Here are a few of his design tips.<\/p>\n

Choose Your Color Palette<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re going for light and bright or modern and muted, it\u2019s all about finding a color palette that works for your space and your personality. Stay true to yourself. Remember, trends come and go, so choose colors you know you know you can live with for core items. Then, for accent pieces, add more lively colors that are easy to change.<\/p>\n

Styling Tip:<\/strong> Choose one or two colors to highlight and add them in through throw pillows and a rug.<\/p>\n

Layer Patterns and Textures
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Size, density and texture are the three most important elements when layering patterns. Mix and match small and large patterns, and remember: the busier the pattern, the more density you create.<\/p>\n

Adding different textures is also important. For example, if you have a tan leather sofa, think about adding throw pillows that have softer fabrics like velvet pillows, soft cotton or a textured weave.<\/p>\n

Styling Tip:<\/strong> Set the tone of your room with a rug that has a bold pattern or colorful motif.<\/p>\n

Balance is Key
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Use at least three patterns in your room and distributing them evenly to maintain balance. From wall art to rugs to throw pillows, coordinating one or two colors or patterns across each piece will help tie everything together.<\/p>\n

Styling Tip:<\/strong> Balance masculine pieces with more feminine pieces, like a dark sofa plus light-colored floral throw pillows.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, have fun, play around and get creative<\/strong>. You can always add more patterns to your room and change things up down the road.<\/p>\n
