ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
Notice the variety of pattern accented through this space. We see a large geometric pattern on the floor a medium, organic pattern in the artwork and a small pattern in the animal print on the pillow. All of these combine to bring interest and variety to the space.
PATTERN Pattern is the repetition of a decorative motif on a surface. Pattern provides the spice in decorating. As with using spices in cooking, you must be careful with its use. Scale is important in the use of pattern. • If a large print is used on a small object the pattern will get lost. • Be careful not to create an effect that is too busy. • Pattern should be in the same color family.
