Pattern is a great tool in design. It can liven up a space by giving it depth and personality. It can even do double-duty if it incorporates color and texture at the same time. The possibilities are endless. As an accent, pattern can do wonders in giving a space that extra something it may be lacking. Even the decorating with pattern in the smallest accent, such as a pillow, can elevate a room to completeness.
Here are some tips and ideas on how to decorate with pattern in your home, as well as some ideas that can be applied to staging a home that is going on the market.
