And mixing different patterns can even further build an eye-catching and modern interior that adds a charming and unique character to the space. However, it can feel a little intimidating to find the best patterns and color matches for the interior. To help you enjoy the pattern mixing process fearlessly, in this blog post we will share 4 tips to mixing wallpaper and fabric pattern designs with confidence.
1. Color Scheme
When mixing different wallpaper patterns and interior fabrics patterns, we definitely pay a strong attention to the color choices. A safe and confident choice when mixing different color patterns is to combine black and white patterns with a multi color pattern. Mixing black and white design pattern with a different colorful pattern not only can create a beautiful balanced interior design look, but it also allows to combine patterns with confidence as the mixed patterns have a less of a chance to look too busy than mixing multiple different colorful patterns without a professional knowledge of the matching color combinations.

It looks aesthetically pleasing when, for example, smaller pattern colorful wallpapers are mixed with luxury fabrics in larger patterns.
