| Furniture. With an upholstery job rarely totaling anything less than expensive, selecting a bold fabric to cover key pieces of furniture requires serious love. But if the attraction is there, look at what the result can be. |
Headboards. DIY headboards have become all the rage and are made even better when a bold print is used. Should change your mind, the headboard can easily be recovered with another fabric.

Lampshades. A big trend is to bring color and pattern into a room through lampshades, and this is a gorgeous example. Such an approach to bringing in bold pattern requires very little commitment, and is therefore a great place to start if not accustomed to living with bold pattern.
| Pillows. Shy of bold pattern and color? Start with the most popular item through which to introduce these elements into a room. With so many affordable and fabulous designs on the market (just stop by Etsy!), you are sure to find endless options to tempt you. |

Bedding. Do you want a serious amount of pattern in a space, but are not ready to cover the walls? Try boldly designed bedding, which can have a similar impact on a bedroom design with less commitment.
