Pillow talk: How to mix patterns and prints
1. Use groups of three. You need at least three patterns to get a good mix. Two just won’t cut it. 2. Vary the scale. Combine at least one large-scale pattern with a smaller pattern. The third pillow can be a pattern of any size or a solid colour. 3. Choose two or three colours. Refine your palette to a few specific colours and make sure at least one pillow ties everything together.
