1 1 PATTERN PLAY Three ways to mix and match motifs at home Keep to one or two colours to maintain some aesthetic consistency. A focused colour scheme will make pattern combinations pleasant to the eyes. Pair your patterns with a neutral wall to tie them together. To keep the aesthetic cohesive, use various tones within the same colour range across your walls. Experiment with your soft furnishings. Bedding, rugs, and the like add a pop of colour to a room without overwhelming its visual surroundings. Edgy industrial When creating an industrial design, it is essential to incorporate the abundance of raw, hard materials. Brick walls often complement exposed wooden beams and concrete screed while steel furniture and track lighting complete this grungy look. Dark colours and boldly painted metals tend to dominate this theme, resulting in an avant-garde space.

Mix things up by contrasting a fabric couch with a few leather armchairs and throw in some quirky statement pieces. Round off the look with colourful artwork and bold sculptures for a truly striking aesthetic. IMAGE COURTESY OF SUMMERHAUS D'ZIGN Clean minimalist The grounding principle of minimalist design is that less is more; think of it as the opposite of the stylish chic style, where bold contrasts reign at home. In this uncomplicated home decor style, light tones make up a majority of the design, with occasional dark accents to break up potential monotony. White is often the dominating colour in this theme, making for a bright, clutter-free home. IMAGE COURTESY OF SUMMERHAUS D’ZIGN ESSENTIALS
