Create a balance

When it comes to pattern, it’s all about creating the perfect balance. If one is bold, and bright, the other should be a little more understated. The same goes for scales, too. If you have a small, busy pattern, then a larger option is often the perfect way to create that ideal balance. This way, you can bring contrast to the room and avoid overwhelming the space with one particular style. 

Include blocks of colour to soften pattern

If you’re including a few different patterns in one room, break them up with a solid colour block. Blinds are perfect for this, as they can sit closely to wallpaper and sofas, making them your ideal interior tool for contrasting busy patterns. Additionally, sticking with neutral colours can counteract any bright patterns to avoid over powering the room. At 247 Blinds, we’ve got a huge selection of neutral colours and brighter block styles in our ranges of Roman and Roller blinds. Find your perfect option to perfectly offset the patterns in your home. 

Avoid matching too much

You may love a particular floral pattern, however a room awash with one print is not always a good thing. Create contrasts with stripes, polka dots, pretty florals and geometric patterns for a wonderful mishmash. At 247 Blinds, we’ve got plenty of different blinds to help add that final touch to your room. So if you need to vary your style a little, but you’re not sure how, a blind may just be the trick. For an eye-catching flair of pattern, explore our range of Roman blinds, complete with a variety of patterned designs. 

Choose colour palette

Although you might want your patterns to differ in a room, choosing a colour palette is a great way to tie everything together. Whether you’re looking to embrace warm, rich hues, light pastels or introduce minimalistic monochrome into your home, keeping everything to the same palette will bring gorgeous harmony to your home. 

Go bold

When it comes to matching patterns and styles, going bold is always a winner. Be brave with colours and daring with your prints. Distinctive styles will have a powerful effect in your home and embracing them can be just the way to create the ideal patterned look in your home.
