How to mix colour and prints for a perfectly-curated global look

Play pattern with

A statement design on a trim adds a vibrant edge to a seat pad, while cushions in different patterns add to the visual impact.

Choose background a simple

A white linen sofa arranged with curated cushions offers the perfect backdrop for varied pattern. Adding another print via a wall hanging forms a pleasing focal point.

Frame the space

Statement wallpaper with a large scale design brings a touch of eye-catching drama to a room. The clean lines of the white cabinet add to the contempora­ry flavour of the space and ensures the room still feels calm, even though the pattern is bold.

Mix and match

Choose fabrics and wallpapers in shades of fuchsia and emerald to create a space that both soothes and energises.

vivid Combine prints

Striking motifs on fabric and wallpaper, in a heady mix of pink and red, evoke a sultry feel.

Create sleep a space happy

Add pops of pattern around the room – on a headboard, curtains and a throw – but keep walls and bedlinen white or neutral to balance the look.
