In this closeup view, you can see that two patterns are mixed. It works because the wall pattern is bolder and larger in scale than the chair's. From a distance, the chairs read almost solid orange. Can you see adding a little (or a lot) of this retro pattern to your home?

Pop is all about bold color. If you're not into the actual art of the era, why not just run with the color aspect? Here's an example of a super tailored space packed with POP color yet no sign of its iconic art.

Try a pattern in a complementary scale. If you have patterned wallpaper, make it pop by upholstering the furniture in a pattern of complementary scale. The key word here is scale: Notice how the pattern on the chairs is smaller than that on the walls, therefore balancing the two as an eye-appealing pair.

Once you feel like you’ve got the hang of it, you can really start making some changes, such as adding patterned wallpaper. It will bring more texture and color to your room than paint and, of course, enhance the dynamic of your space when mixed with additional patterns. Why do these two patterns work together? Here comes the rally cry: scale. Plus, the mix of shapes, square vs. circle, distinguishes one print from the other.

Trick the eye. He sure fooled me. When I asked Garrison Hullinger about this wall covering, he informed me that it's actually a hand-painted custom stencil, not wallpaper. "It was a custom design that I came up with, and I had the artist hand-apply the LusterStone paint with a small palette knife. It takes many layers of the paint/plaster to get this much depth," he says.

The geometrical kaleidescope pattern of linked circles on this midcentury wallpaper is a bold match for orange plaid, which is a geometric pattern in its own way.

The fact that even though the patterns and colors of the comforters and wallpaper are different they complement each other so well that they go together in a sense that you are in two worlds in one place!!

Geometry. Here's further evidence that plaid can be combined with just about any type of pattern, from florals and stripes to this contemporary geometric design. Because the geometric wallpaper has strong vertical and horizontal lines, along with its neutral palette, it works exceptionally well with the attention-grabbing plaid on the chairs.
