Mix and match
- Decorating - blending prints in interior design
How do you successfully blend solids, stripes, prints,
and plaids in the same room? Interior designer Janice
Stone Thomas demonstrates in this remodeled house. To
create a vivid environment inspired by the home's lakeside
setting, Thomas developed a palette of Caribbean blues,
sunshine yellows, and coral pinks. The key colors repeat
on cabinets and accent pillows.
TIPS
- Think of the room as a large canvas. To help you visualize
your composition, develop a color board of fabric swatches
and surface materials, such as door samples and tiles.
- Select the dominant color and subordinates to anchor
the palette. |
- Choose a multicolored print
and pull in different colors and textures to complement
it. Play around with the various colors and patterns,
including plaids and stripes that repeat some of the
colors in the print.
- Maintain the same scale and proportion throughout
the room to achieve a comfortable repetition of color
and design. The blue pillow in the niche, for example,
picks up the blues in the rug and cabinet, harmonizing
the color in the room.
