Oh, whoa. This blue-and-white print bedroom by designer Todd Romano doesn't just bring up the question of combining multiple prints. It answers it with an emphatic, "Yes, yes, hell yes!"...
Todd Romano's decoration of this room in his own home combines a blue floral on white, a dense blue paisley, and a smart navy stripe.
With all of this going on, we almost missed the fact that the outer bedcover itself is pure white. The headboard, too, breaks up the pattern (a little) with its clean white field. Finish off with a classic white lamp shade and crisp modern accessories (the night stand and artwork), and you have one expert combining of prints.
I like the patterns together, but that's TOO much. Oy Vey, I think I'd have nightmares sleeping here.

The only thing in that room that isn't giving me a seizure is the lucite side table.

This makes my head hurt. I can't imagine getting a nice, restful sleep in that room.

Blue and white -- like black and white -- almost always works when mixing prints.
I don't love the bedskirt matching the wallpaper -- that seems a bit old-fashioned, but maybe what's old is what's new.

I think when so many patterns together they become a neutral backdrop for other pieces---like when you have a child in a field of sunflowers, you don't notice the sunflowers as much.

wow, I am also getting dizzy looking at that! Having the ceiling both wallpapered and sloped probably makes it worse than it would be if just the walls were papered.

I don't like it. It's way too much for me. I rather see wall papers mixed with simple one color beddings like in this one: http://www.houzz.com/photos/7193/Pierce-Allen-traditional-bedroom-new-york-single-family-house

Okay- if it were solid blue to the roofline (or chair-rail on a flat wall) that would be super sweet... but this is definitely too busy for my eye as-is.

If the ceiling weren't also wallpapered, I'd be okay with it, as it is the wallpaper seems to create the illusion that the walls and ceiling are one flat surface instead of individual planes, and that just makes my head spin.

Ha, ha, ha - for a moment I couldn't find the bed! It was so well camouflaged. I thought the aim was to create a restful space in the bedroom, not to create migraines

The brilliance of it is that you don't have to lie in bed wondering why that strangely shaped ceiling is coming down on you because the wallpaper so effectively blurs the edges of the walls. It's just delicious.

It's a good thing they used different prints, otherwise it would be hard to find the bed!

Well, the overall effect does seem a little much for me, but I do agree the various prints combine nicely. The problem is that the prints take over too much of the room.... but the stripes, paisley and floral all work together nicely. I just sort of wish there was a little less of the floral.
I also wish I was better at identifying prints that work well together. I have a patterned run in my bedroom, and need to find bedding that works with it.

(I bought my current comforter cover b/c it was cute and on sale, and I really needed a new one. But it is also patterned and doesn't work well with the rug... Meanwhile, I'm still looking (but not very hard) for bedding.)

A for creating the worse room that I have ever seen. This room would really work if you had a brown bag on each side... forget the table lamps. The occupants need to have a place to dispose of their vomit.

It's actually not a lot of patternS (plural) -- it's TWO patterns, used matchy-matchy, 80s style.
