Three practical principles for combining stripe, geometric and floral in the same room.
Hold the colour, change the scale
Patterns sit together happily when they share a palette. Keep to two colours plus a plain, then vary the size of the repeat — a fine stripe beside an open geometric beside a textured plain.
Give pattern a neighbour it can lean on
Every patterned cushion benefits from a plain one beside it. That is the logic behind our duos and trios: each is built around one restful piece.
Repeat once elsewhere
If a colour appears only once in a room it will look accidental. Echo it — a lampshade, a throw, a bound book — and the scheme settles.
