Try Mixing and Matching Posted on 03 June 2015 at 02:40 Conventional wisdom states that you should never, ever mix patterns.

So, it was often recommended that you pick one pattern and intersperse it strategically throughout the space. Now, however, times have definitely changed. Rather than being seen as “too busy”, the ability to successfully mix patterns signifies a deft eye and adds a level of complexity to the space that is often only found in professionally designed homes.
