The use of patterns is a great way to effectively create a new look in your home.

This technique is an extremely versatile method that can be used to tastefully compliment any type of home. Whether you live in a rural style country home, or an upscale French Chateau, patterns can contribute tremendously toward achieving the look you desire.

Let’s take a look at the 3 most effective ways to incorporate patterns into your home:

1. Make patterned wallpaper a feature.

There is an abundance and variety of wallpaper available on the market today, in every style and price. This has enabled it to be easily used in all decors. Let’s discuss the 3 trends most abundantly used today.

Firstly, is the French or classic style. In this mode we make use of lighter shades of wallpaper, primarily, beiges greens, blues, browns, highlighted by employing many curved designs.

Secondly, usually found in refinely styled homes will be the use of wallpaper in bold reds and browns.

Lastly, in modern looking homes and New York high-rise apartments, patterned wallpaper that has a contemporary flair.

This style can tremendously heighten the feel of a room when added tastefully.

2. Use patterns in your curtains and window treatments.

The use of curtains has always been popular and considered quite fashionable. This has created a large need for patterned styles. Although, there is an abundance to choose from, the real trick here is to select a pattern that will remain stylish for many years to come.

You can readily view many different styles at a display centre. Here you will see all of the popular styles including: Brocade, Damask and Mille-Fleurs affording you a wide range of choices.

Consider primarily the motif and coloring of your home and coordinate your curtains accordingly. Remember, there are subtle types containing 3 or 4 repetitious patterns, or the richer, bolder types that exude a stronger presence.

Make sure that you request samples to take with you, so that you can match them in your own environment.  Curtains also compliment strongly patterned Chenille wall tapestries as well.

3. Use soft accessories

By the simple addition of cushions or throw- rugs a room can be transformed. Just prominently add a couple of soft patterned items, and you will immediately notice the difference in the room.

Another way is to use wall tapestries such as this range that we offer here. Some popular themes include French tapestries with a hint of romance for the bedroom, large size tapestries as wall decor which offer a grand impression to any visitor in any room in the home, and modern or contemporary art tapestries including still life art tapestries to decorate and go along with most home decor.

These types of items contribute greatly by adding pattern and color. The important rule to observe when using them is, always make them slightly darker or lighter. This way they will compliment other decor. If your room needs contrast, just use brighter bolder shades. This will give the room a highlighted effect.

The most important thing to remember is, keep the style congruent with all the other decor, so that it is part of the room, while adding its own statement.
