3. Pattern on Pattern
Bold use of pattern in home décor has been popular lately! Its a trend that can be used in so many different ways and in every room of the house. Its all about layering and trying different patterns together to get the right mix. Try mixing patterns in similar tones and mixing patterns of different sizes. A cushion with a large pattern will be complimented when matched with a small pattern. Its all about trial and error, but you will be surprised what actually works together. Start small and just add a few cushions to the lounge or go bold and have a bedhead or lounge upholstered in a patterned fabric. For more tips on mixing patterns check our pattern blog!

In most homeware stores at the moment you will find accessories such as trays, plates, bowls and vases in a marble look that are inexpensive.
