Look! Mixing Patterns In The Same Color Palette

100308_matching01.jpgOne way to add interest and dimension to your space is by using the same color but mixing the patterns. We spotted these chair displays at Barclay Butera's showroom on La Brea Blvd. and thought they were elegant, sophisticated yet simple.

 
 

This is an easy and affordable decorating trick. We love incorporating color and design into space and since mixing patterns is not always easy, sticking to 1 or 2 colors can make it less overwhelming.

I really dislike that chair in the lower right-hand corner; the different fabrics on the arms and seat make it look like a tacky DIY job.

I know that isn't the point of the post, but it's hideous and shouldn't have been included.

It kind of looks like a rattan chair.

Yup, that's rattan and linen, I'm guessing. Can't see what is so offensive about that!

These all clash horribly.
