17. Use of Pattern
Incompatible pattern combinations create an uneasy feeling.

18. To achieve a feeling of correctness in combining patterns:
Maintain a consistent mood.
Don’t mix formal naturalistic with geometric
Evaluate the placement of emphasis and avoid too many patterns in one area.
One 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 are often used in cozy rooms.
Large scale patterns for spacious rooms since these make a room appear smaller.
