Pro! Pattern Mix Like a

-

The key to balancing so many patterns in one space? Scale and color. Most of the patterns here, from the wallpaper to the draperies and table linens, are monochroma­tic, making them feel more like textures. Also, smaller pieces get smaller-scale patterns, and larger-scale patterns stay on the larger elements like walls and windows. Finally, the large solid tablecloth breaks it all up and gives the eye something simple and soothing to look at.
