What are some common mistakes to avoid when pattern mixing?

Here are some common mistakes to avoid when pattern mixing:

• Using too many patterns: Too many patterns can make the space feel overwhelming and chaotic. Choose a few well-coordinated patterns to create a cohesive look.
• Choosing patterns with too much contrast: Patterns with too much contrast can create a jarring effect. Instead, choose patterns that share a common color palette or have similar tones.
• Ignoring scale: Using patterns of all the same scale can make the space feel monotonous. Mix large-scale patterns with smaller-scale patterns to add visual interest.
• Not grounding the space with solids: Incorporating solid fabrics in neutral tones can help to ground the space and prevent the patterns from feeling too overwhelming.
• Using patterns that you don’t love: Pattern mixing should be a fun and expressive experience. Choose patterns that you love and that make you feel happy.
