Add pretty patterns to accent walls, an interesting floor, or other areas of the home. These create a completely different and pleasant atmosphere and change the room for the better. You can particularly enhance a modern interior with classic patterns. It's best to use pretty wallpaper, carpets or textiles for this purpose. In this article we would like to introduce you to different types of patterns and some information about them, as well as how you can decorate with patterns.
This interestingMuster, which is often referred to as a checkered print, basically consists of diamond-shaped diamonds. These in turn are intersected by narrow lines, which also form diamond motifs. These lines can also be dashed for a slightly more modern look. If this pattern looks familiar and somehow reminds you of Scotland, don't be surprised. It comes from exactly there and was already used in the 17th century. If you have a modern interior and would like to decorate with patterns, then the arch gimp is the perfect choice.
As wellto the checkered patternsbelongs to the so-called Vichy check. In the nursery above, which is a design by Shawn Henderson, the rocking chair was designed using this pattern. The pattern is characterized by the fact that it consists of two colors that form squares and overlap at regular intervals. Feel free to use this traditional idea if you want to decorate your home with a pattern.
Everyone knows the zigzag pattern. In principle, it can be compared to the letter “V” that has been put together again and again at the same angle. The colors can of course vary to decorate the pattern, so that you can expand the monochrome furnishings but also add color accents. The zigzag pattern is often used on walls, carpets, sofa cushions, curtains and other textiles.
Damask looks very elegant. They are shapes that resemble a medallion and are formed from any color. East they will be forpatterned wallpaperused. These medallions repeat across the entire surface with a different color or shade in the background. A very subtle contrast is often created, which is achieved with the help of shiny surfaces. However, contrasting colors predominate in modern furnishings these days.
You can create a romantic interior with floral patterns. But not only flowers are part of the floral pattern, but also other patterns of this type. Leaves, vines or buds can also be wonderfully showcased in the interior. Plus, choose between delicate and romantic and abstract designs when decorating with this pattern. Floral patterns have a more feminine look.
Their straight, geometric shapes are typical of Greek patterns. They are also very popular in modern interior design. Both in the architecture itself and in the form of decorative textiles.
Although the herringbone pattern is also arranged in a V-shape, it should not be confused with the zigzag pattern. The difference is that the herringbone pattern does not consist of continuous lines, but is interrupted. As you can imagine, this pattern gets its name because it is reminiscent of the arrangement of the bones of a fish. This pattern is particularly popular for designing the floor (like in the kitchen above). But textiles also look great in modern interiors if you decorate with patterns.
A puzzle-like design is created with the houndstooth pattern. It couldn't be more classic than this pattern. This variant also comes from Scotland and was originally used as a pattern for textiles for wool. With this design you will also get a pretty eye-catcher if you decorate with a pattern. Look how modern the print looks, in the example above in copper and silver.
The Ikat pattern is not incorporated into the textiles during production. They are more like motifs that are added through coloring. Flaws are not uncommon and are also welcome. If you would like to combine two styles with each other using the pattern, Ikat is perfect. A certain bohemian style is created that goes well with the modern one.
The Ogee pattern is formed from s-shaped lines. These in turn form shapes that are reminiscent of onions. The design of this pattern can look very different. There are more relaxed designs, but also strict ones, like in this picture, which exude a certain retro flair. When decorating with this pattern, consider bright and upbeat colors.
If you like oriental or Persian designs, the paisley pattern is just right for you. What is typical for this pattern is that it has the shape of a drop. It is often associated with the hippies and often with the Beatles and the 60s. These motifs give a modernly furnished apartment a great eye-catcher, which is why they are a great option if you want to decorate with patterns.
A delicate variation on the usual striped pattern is the elegant pinstripe pattern. The pinstripe is designed to be very thin and divides the main color into wider stripes. The idea for the bathtub upstairs is very original. The gentlemen among you can decorate very well with this print. The pattern appears rather masculine.
And again we ended up with the Scots. You have often seen this exact pattern on kilts. The stripes are at different distances from each other, are different widths and have different colors. This creates another variant of the so-called checkered pattern. Whether in strong colors or more subtle, a wide variety of options are available for the modern design of the apartment. If you would rather spice up the interior in a traditional way, choose black as the main color, which in turn is combined with green and blue.
The quatrefoil is a motif that was primarily used in architecture. You've definitely seen it in churches, cathedrals or similar Gothic buildings, for example. In principle, the design is made up of four equal-sized circles that overlap each other. This creates the shape of a four-leaf clover. The divider at the top represents the pattern in a more modern version. The cushions also show how wonderfully you can decorate with this pattern.
There's not much to explain here in terms of shapes. As the name suggests, the print is in the shape of scales. This pattern is particularly popular in Art Deco interiors. So if you are considering this interior design style, you can wonderfully consider this pattern.
With the stripe pattern, it doesn't matter which direction the stripes run or how wide they are. Only the distance between them should always be the same. Choose delicate and subtle pastel tones or bold colors when decorating with this pattern. The greater the contrast between the colors, the more impressive the classic yet modern design becomes.
These magnificent motifs come from Central Asia, including Uzbekistan and Turkestan. Circular motifs serve as the basis. These are in turn complemented by floral accents that are intertwined. Due to their similarity to the Ikat pattern, they are often confused with it. When decorating with this pattern, you can find and use both subtle and bold colors.
You can have it romantic and French by choosing the Toile de Jouy pattern. Pattern is actually not the right word, because it depicts entire rural images and scenes. Neutral colors are used so that the motifs appear subtle. Amidst modern furniture, you can create pretty highlights by decorating with this pattern.
Espaliers serve as support for climbing plants and can have a wide variety of shapes. This also makes them wonderful motifs for interior design. The variable patterns make the design a popular variant for modern furnishings. Above you can see a design by Nara Roesler. Decorating with this pattern will give you an elegant accent.
