How to use “Pattern” in your home

How to use “Pattern” in your home

“: a repeated form or design especially that is used to decorate something
: the regular and repeated way in which something happens or is done
: something that happens in a regular and repeated way”

— Pattern. (n.d.). Retrieved January 10, 2016, from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pattern

HOW IS PATTERN DIFFERENT THAN A TEXTURE?

Unlike texture, which can appear as an overall tone and potentially have three dimensions, a pattern is typically viewed as individual objects repeated on a single, two-dimensional surface. Now, that isn’t to say that if a pattern is so small, or, viewed from a far distance, that it cannot appear to look like a visual texture.

A pattern can be created through your own personal designs (like paint patterns), or, be already incorporated into a finish (like a pattern on a ceramic tile). These can have great visual interest in a space when used appropriately and sparingly.

Be careful not to go overboard with too many different patterns, or, excessively bold patterns, these can overpower a space and make it feel busy, small, and cluttered.
