Some simple guidelines
Make sure that you change up the scale
of your patterns. Scale is one of the most important factors; choose at
least one large, one medium, and one small scale pattern. You need to
make sure that your fabrics are going to complement each other and if
you have too many prints in a similar scale they will end up fighting.

Consider the colors that are in your prints. Choose colors that are either similar in intensity and/or similar in hue. You don’t want to use a fabric with muted soft colors with other fabrics that have bold bright colors; you will lose the interest of the lighter fabric amongst the others.

Thanks Maria, I had a look over at your blog and it is quite nice! I plan to keep checking in. You have a good weekend too! Karen
ReplyDeleteLove that first image! For some reason I do not have a lot of pattern in my own home. I find a simpler palette to be more restful.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can make it on Sunday.
