Perusing the interior magazines in my local supermarket recently, I was struck by just how joyous interiors are looking at the moment. Whether it was images of a farmhouse kitchen, a new-build en-suite or a hallway in a 1970s semi, these spaces were drawing me in and making me smile with every page turn. And the reason? Pattern. It is everywhere and it’s pretty glorious! On walls, ceilings, floors and windows and every conceivable piece of furniture, pattern is finding its place. Pattern mixing can feel daunting, but when done right, it elevates a space with texture, depth and personality. Whether you’re going for a bold maximalist look or something more subtly layered, successfully combining patterns requires intention and a touch of playfulness.
