MIXING PATTERNS AND COLORS






Mixing patterns and colors can be intimidating, BUT it doesn't have to be!  One easy way to mix patterns is to keep the colors relatively the same.  The color is now the common element, so mixing a toile with florals, or stripes now has unity.  Another way to mix patterns is to decide which will be the dominant pattern and which will play the supporting role.  The patterns need to vary in size.  This will create interest and variety.  When mixing colors, I think first of how colors coexist naturally in nature.  I then think about basic color theory!  Yellow and blue make green!  So, it only makes sense that these three and variations of them will work in great harmony!  So on and so forth!  Want to live more on the daring side?  Go for it!  If it's uncomfortable to look at, keep changing it until it works!

I hope I've given you enough to get your ideas flowing!  I will be posting even more about mixing color and pattern very soon.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you next time!
