Pattern Determines Activity Level Posted on 03 June 2015 at 02:44 Take a second to picture a room decorated entirely in solids. While it should certainly seem sleek and serene, there is a possibility that the look can be too plain and come off as a little boring. You need a dose of pattern to bring activity into the space. The key to determining activity level is size. Larger patterns, though they may seem a bit bulky at first, tend to be associated with a calm visual interest. In contrast, smaller patterns can come off as too busy or nervous for some. Let the pattern’s size determine how it’s used in the room. Bigger ones are best suited for things like a sprawling wallpaper or the decorative element to a statement piece of furniture. While tiny ones are best reserved for use in small doses like throw pillows and decor items.
