South African Home Owner – September 2019

HOW TO

Maximalism is a major trend sweeping

the world of decoration right now so it’s

pertinent to have a look at some pointers

when it comes to mixing and matching

pattern. The easiest way to unite patterns is

with colour, so choose prints that are from

a similar palette – that way everything will

blend in easily. Scale is important to create

variety, and as a rule of thumb, use more than

three different patterns in your scheme. But

the most important rule is: don’t be afraid to

break the rules! – ST LEGER & VINEY

Playing with colour, pattern and

print can be daunting at first, but there

is really no right or wrong because

everyone’s tastes and influences are so

different. The key is to think of your space as an extension of

you. Based on your chosen theme, you can add patterns and

prints in different scales – from finely detailed and simple, to

bold geometric and abstract. – LULASCLAN
