U SE OF P ATTERNS Too much pattern can make a room feel too busy and uncomfortable. A room without pattern may be too stark or lacking in character. Successful Pattern combinations feel comfortable. Incompatible Pattern combinations create an uneasy feeling.

T O ACHIEVE A FEELING OF CORRECTNESS IN C OMBINING P ATTERNS : Maintain a consistent mood. Formal naturalistic will not work with geometric. Evaluate the placement of emphasis and avoid too many patterns in one area. 1 bold pattern on a large area works better than 2-3 smaller patterns scattered throughout the room. The size of the pattern should correspond to the size of the room and its windows. Small scale patterns often used in cozy rooms Large scale patterns for spacious rooms. These make a room appear smaller. Identify the color scheme of the pattern Use a variety of sizes of patterns to create interest.
