Pattern mixing

Mixing patterns can be tricky

For a room to not look obnoxious, or like a rainbow barfed all over it,

 there needs to be the perfect balance....

Of what you ask???

Of goodness wrapped in pretty, I say..

examples..
but of course...

ikat plus geometric wallpaper plus vintage textiles = goodness

flowers and paisleys and polkas...Oh My

Suzanis and stripes..

Kilims and such..

Zig zags and blooms

and a zebra for good measure

Meares can mix a pattern better than the best...

coral, ikat, gold abstract....chevron...Perfection
