{ Tips on Designing with Patterns }

Are you a traditionalist? A modernist? Somewhere in between? Whichever you are, patterns can express your unique design perspective. When used in conjunction with other design elements, patterns marks the room’s interior with personality.

With such a wide variety of patterns to choose from, the process can feel overwhelming. The rule of thumb is to start with a theme, then build a color and pattern scheme incorporating those elements.

Avoid the design pitfall of pattern overdose. Mixing patterns can be tricky, but if the patterns are related by form, color or texture, the mix is more likely to succeed.

When it comes to Dabbieri, trellis patterns, tip-shears, florals, paisleys and other patterns each illuminate your sense of style, making your interior exude formality, whimsy or carefree casualness.

If you have a design question - just ask. We'll have an answer.
