Patterns stimulate the senses, so you have to be careful when picking ones that will live in your home with you. It has to make you happy – having a colour or pattern that you love will make your home feel more joyous, and it’ll make the space feel like a reflection of you.

So how do you pick? Of course, going with your heart is the first step. If you’re drawn to a certain pattern or if it elicits a certain reaction, then that might be the one for you. You could even create a whole room scheme and colour palette from a pattern that you love.

A barely there pattern in muted colours will be perfect. Traditional? It calls for classic heritage patterns like tartan, herringbone and stripes.

Pair your pattern with block colours to keep it in check, like teaming a patterned blind with plain dye curtains. Or feature wallpaper with plain bedding. It allows the pattern to take the focus, without it overwhelming the room.
