Pattern Pairing // textiles and wallpaper
I’ve heard it plenty: “I wallpapered one small room, now I’m hooked on pattern.” If you know, you know. Once you venture into the world of pattern-pairing, the concept is far less intimidating and feels more like a fun exploration of play and style.
As the wallpaper collection was developed, and then later the textile collection, there was a tremendous focus on a common thread of color throughout all the pieces. This intentional decision allowed multiple patterns to compliment each other without competing - color being the factor that tied them all together.
Fields on Linen/Cotton Blend + Block Print No. 01 Wallpaper:
Don’t be afraid to go bolder and use lots of artwork and color for the tie-in pieces. The same rusty reds you see in the Fields Linen/Cotton textiles are complimented by the rust hues in the Block Print No. 01 wallpaper. The more color options your bolder pieces have, the more colors you can pull from it to find in artwork and other solids that fill your space.
Primrose Wallpaper + Anemones on Linen:
You might think you can’t mix two florals together, but when done correctly, it’s a rich collection of texture and personality. The half-drop repeat of the Primrose Wallpaper gives you a structural, geometric feel. This grounds your eyes as a contrast to the looser, tossed repeat of the Anemones on linen. Scale and placement in the room can make two florals work great together.
Roadside Picks Wallpaper + Basket Weave on Linen/Cotton Blend:
There’s no fighting the classic combination of florals and a stripe or plaid print. The combination of the two, in my opinion, will never go out of style. It’s a safe place to start learning how to combine patterns and prints, color being the source that makes it all cohesive.
Seasons Wallpaper + Hydrangeas on Linen:
Sometimes, the density of a particular subject works. Here, we’ve got some pretty intentional florals. With the wallpaper, the breathing room between the floral steps and simplicity in the two colors pair well with the weight of the Hydrangea pattern on the linen. The colors compliment each other in ways that, in the right space and with the right coordinating accessories and solids, just work.
Be brave, friend. While there’s a solid love for solids and neutrals, pattern pairing is such a beautiful journey.
