Create a Design Theme

It’s a décor myth that you should use one print only. Mix lots of different prints for a more eclectic look. This is a great way to make use of your favorite prints without having to ration them. However, there is a way to mix them correctly. Opt for prints that complement each other in some way. Try to use some that have similar shades or form part of the same theme. For instance, in the above image we can see some colors slightly overlapping, while the gold leaves on the wall complement the theme of nature when used with the zebra pattern and white plant leaf design on the cushions.

Floral print always seems to be in fashion, whether in clothing and décor. With this trend that never seems to disappear for long, consider displaying it in a different way by targeting an area of the home where you would not be likely to find floral print.

It can also make the room appear larger, providing interest when people look upwards.
