Adding patterns to your home can help create a space that reflects your personality.
Blogger McKenzie Guymon with “Girl Loves Glam” shares five ways to embrace prints and patterns.
Prints and patterns can often times feel a little intimidating or overwhelming, but they don’t need to be! Adding great patterns into your home can make a house a home that you feel really reflects your personality. Adding prints and patterns can be done easily and in many different ways.
Textiles and Rugs
Adding a loud pattern can be much easier if it is done is a small way such as a pillow. Putting a pillow in your house with a pattern that you might usually shy away from can be a great way to ease yourself into bringing more patterns and prints into your home. It is amazing what one little pillow can do to bring life into a room. Patterned blankets and rugs can be subtle or turn into the focal point in a room. They aren’t permanent and a simple way to introduce patterns into your home.
Furniture
Furniture with patterns on them are so popular right now and relatively easy to find. Adding a great striped side table in a room can change the entire mood of the room. If you are feeling adventurous, painting your own patterned furniture can be a perfect way to get the exact look you want so you can be sure that the furniture correctly reflects your personality. If you want the patterned furniture look, without it being quite so permanent, adding a vinyl pattern to your furniture can add a dramatic effect with the luxury of being able to change it at any time.
