Mixing patterns and prints in interior design can be a fun process that can also get a little too overwhelming fast. With so many removable wallpaper designs and fabric prints and materials available, the options of mixing patterns and prints are countless. To not mix too much and create a busy interior look there are a couple of details to pay attention to, such as mixing different wallpapers for home and luxurious fabric print colors that match and compliment each other, mixing simple patterns with some more detailed patterns and mixing large prints with smaller prints. In this blog post we want to give you some inspiration for mixing patterns in different interior styles. So let's dive in the world of mixing patterns with the three different style mood board inspirations below.
Coastal Style Living Room Inspiration
The airy and breezy coastal style can always create a warm and sunny beach feeling at home. And if you love the welcoming summer themed interior design then colors such as light pastel blues, whites, nudes and earthy browns will go very well in the coastal style interior. A coastal themed living room can create a light and cozy atmosphere and if you are looking for beach house wallpaper accent wall ideas, then the herringbone pattern wallpaper - Simple Herringbone Removable Wallpaper In Windy Color from the Coastal & Nautical Wallpaper collection as seen in the photo above can be a great coastal wallpaper choice for an eye-catching wall covering in the interior.
For the coastal themed living room inspiration mood board we have chosen to mix a smaller pattern herringbone peel and stick wallpaper - Simple Herringbone Removable Wallpaper In Windy Color from the Coastal & Nautical Wallpaper collection to create, for example, a gorgeous blue herringbone accent wall. To bring in some elegant neutral colors, we chose a slightly larger print elegant wallpaper - Soft Paintbrush Maze Removable Wallpaper from the Neutral Kids Wallpaper collection that can be used to create a gorgeous DIY lampshade or to cover another wall or space in the room.

As the third pattern to add a delicate touch we have chosen the flower pattern fabric - Subtle Floral Design Printed Fabric from the Floral Fabric collection. The floral textile together with the herringbone print and elegant neutral paintbrush maze pattern create a beautiful, airy and elegant combination for a gorgeous coastal living room interior that highlights every detail in the interior to make it interesting and eye-catching.
Dark And Modern Kitchen Inspiration
From airy and light to dark and modern. There is just something about a well put together dark kitchen interior that definitely leaves an impression. A dark interior can seem like a bold choice, but it can also create an intimate and cozy atmosphere. If you have dark kitchen cabinets and countertop and are looking for ideas to bring in some eye-catching pattern and pop of color, creating an accent wall with the black and white striped wallpaper - Minimal Black And White Lines Removable Wallpaper from the Stripe Wallpaper collection as seen in the photo above can definitely create an eye-catching detail with an elegant touch. To make the interior even more interesting, mix the wallpaper with a waterproof kitchen backsplash such as the Dark Terrazzo Design Backsplash from the Modern Backsplash Collection seen in the photo above that definitely can add another interesting detail for a unique and gorgeous kitchen interior look.
When it comes to mixing patterns and prints, mixing other colors with black and white can be slightly easier than mixing different brighter colors. The black and white stripe wallpaper - Minimal Black And White Lines Removable Wallpaper from the Stripe Wallpaper collection that can be used to create an accent wall with stripes in the kitchen will go very well together with the modern peel and stick backsplash - Dark Terrazzo Design Backsplash from the Modern Backsplash Collection as it has a dark base color and brings some pops of fun brighter color for some accent. To further add on to the dark and modern interior look, we chose the modern geometric pattern fabric - Chain Pattern Printed Fabric from the Geometric Fabric collection that can be used for creating beautiful unique table cloth, kitchen curtains or seat covers. As you can choose from different modern fabric patterns materials such as cotton, velvet, linen you can play not only with the prints but textures as well, and choose your favorite printed fabric material.

Elegant Neutrals Bedroom Inspiration
Neutral color palette interior can not only create a very light, welcoming and luxurious look but a timeless one as well. Furthermore, a soft neutral themed style can be very suitable in bedroom interiors to create an elegant and soothing atmosphere for relaxation. And a bedroom interior in a neutral color palette does not have to seem boring. Mixing patterns in a neutral interior can build an interesting and cozy vibe. In the photo above we can see the elegant modern bedroom wallpaper - Classic Neutral Plaid Design Removable Wallpaper from the Elegant Neutrals Wallpaper collection that is perfect for a simple yet elegant background wallpaper and mixes very well with the Wildflower Foliage Printed Fabric from the Floral Fabric collection cushion covers as the timeless plaid wallpaper print is more simple and larger compared to the small floral print fabric.

Most of our designs can be ordered in custom colors allowing you to choose your favorite floral cotton fabric and make it custom.
When it comes to mixing patterns in neutral colors it can again be a little easier if all of the patterns are kept in the same color palette. As the elegant peel and stick wallpaper - Classic Neutral Plaid Design Removable Wallpaper from the Elegant Neutrals Wallpaper collection that we already saw previously is a more light and classy wallpaper with a delicate plaid design, we have paired it with the neutral design wallpaper - Neutral Buffalo Check Wallpaper from the Elegant Neutrals Wallpaper collection that together mix very well as one design has a lighter base and the buffalo check wallpaper brings in more of the neutral color. While you can choose the lighter classic neutral plaid peel and stick wallpaper to cover multiple walls in the bedroom as it creates an elegant background, you can choose the buffalo check print to create an eye-catching detail in the interior by creating an accent wall, lining your closet or covering the back of a book shelf. As both of the wallpaper designs give us a checked/plaid pattern look, they can mix very well with the printed floral fabric - Wildflower Foliage Printed Fabric from the Floral Fabric collection as the fabric with flowers brings a smaller pattern in the mix and has a neutral color background that creates a beautiful contrast.
