A Nice Mix Of Pattern Or Not? - Page 2

I love prints, but my current livingroom has one print and everything else co-ordinates with its colors.

I do not buy small prints like those in the large pictures or the lamp. Not for my clothes or my home decor.

I had mixed prints in the living room I refurnished in the 90's, but even then the prints for both the furniture and the art were not flowery.

Not.........way too busy for me. Too many prints and I don't like the elephants or tiger stripes. In the jungle, yes, here, no.

I don't care for Asian decor in a home so it's not for me.

There is too much going on in this room but I love the pale blue chair and to my amazement I don't dislike the tiger pillow on the chair.

I would have to remove the Asian influence and work with the chair, sofa, and 2 tables.

It's just all too much, too busy. It's like when someone is wearing too many accessories. I just want to go up and remove some.

The room has great potential, but just much going on.

I think it's a pretty room. There are things I like more and that I like less and things I'd change, such as the lamps, but overall, I find it appealing, even though it's not a look I'd choose for my own space.

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

Beautiful example of English country house-inspired style, @jubilant . And I say that as one who, personally, wouldn't want that much visually going on.

But wow, I admire the knowingness of the combinations. The all-important scale of the prints has been varied enough, there's a uniting thread of color palette running through it all, and there are sophisticated little surprise zingers like the animal print, to prevent the descent into mere 'prettiness'.

Like the Brits, I love good porcelain, but I'd have only a few pieces rather than the profusion in the shelves.

I also need more of an eclectic feeling in a room, with always a little modern salted in, to leaven the antiques. But that's just personal preference-- for lovers of classic English design, this room hits all the right notes. Where's my cuppa?!
