Mixing and matching patterns is not just for fashion - it's all the rage in interiors at the moment as well! Mix your favourite patterned wallpaper, cushions or rugs with artwork of an opposing scale. Pair large shaped abstracts with fine prints or flip it with small detailed works to sit along side your favourite bold stripes. The trick to nailing this trend is mixing patterns of a different size - too much of the same and it will just look busy. Go wild and embrace your inner maximalist with pieces that have all out flair!
