How to mix and match patterns in your Thorold apartment Decorating your apartment is a great way to infuse personality into the space. You don’t need to be an expert interior designer to make things work, all you need is a few tips to help you get started mixing and matching patterns in your apartment. The Panoramic Properties (panoramicproperties.ca/index.php) blog team has compiled some great tips to help you get started. Select three or more patterns When it comes to colours and patterns, you’ll want to get started with at least three options to create variety. Balancing patterns is the determining factor of whether or not the mix will be a success. First pattern: this should be chosen carefully since it will have the largest impact in the room. Second pattern: look for similar colours to your primary pattern on a much smaller scale. Third pattern: as with the second pattern, look for similar hues on a small scale. Fourth or more patterns: incorporate more variety with textured solid colour pieces that match your palette. Get inspired A lead piece is something that inspires you to mix and match in your decor. It could consist of any favourite such as a piece of furniture, a clothing item, colour or even a fabric swatch. This inspiration could also come from the outdoors; natural settings can inspire beautiful colour combinations. For ideas to help you get started, check out The House of Smith’s website (thehouseofsmiths/2013/01/ideas-and-guidlines-to-mixing-matching.html). Vibrancy Matters Mixing and matching prints such as checks or stripes will look harmonious if they come from the same colour family. Keep bright colours or pastels together, vivacious shades will bring energy into a room while lighter, muted hues can create a quieter mood. Greenery Sometimes a new houseplant or live flowers can add a punch of colour and a little bit of freshness into a space. Pick up something that will complement your existing pieces. You can find great options at A Yellow Flower Basket (ayellowflowerbasket.ca/) which is only a few steps away from Panoramic Properties’ 40 Front Street apartment (panoramicproperties.ca/thorold-apartment-details/front-street). Spread it Out When all your patterns are right on top of each other, your space may appear cluttered. It is best to spread patterned objects apart while incorporating solids for a more balanced look.
