Shop AT’s 2020 Pattern of the Year and Save 25% Off with Our Exclusive Promo Code
In January, Apartment Therapy rolled out our second Pattern of the Year: Freely Scribbled. Inspired by the abstract shapes we’ve been noticing in fashion, art, and design recently, the pattern represents “geometric purity, minus the mathematical rigor and order—less Escher and more Matisse or Masson.” We asked Danish artist Rebecca Frederiksen of Capricorn Studio to design our interpretation of the print, with three different background colors to showcase the “scribbles” in a variety of styles.
And we didn’t stop there: We also launched a store with Society6 so you can shop the Freely Scribbled pattern and implement it in your own space. The different color options highlight just how versatile this pattern is, whether your style leans more boho or eclectic. The deep blue color is perfect for a cool, contemporary space, while the terracotta hue is bright, cheerful, and fits well in nature-inspired rooms. And if you love a classic look, you can’t go wrong with the Freely Scribbled pattern in black and white.
You can shop all three colors on a variety of home products, from bedding and bath to decor and accessories. And right now, AT readers can get an exclusive discount of 25 percent off all Pattern of the Year merch using code ATPATTERN. Shop the entire collection here, and check out some of our very favorites below.
Blue Throw Pillow
Life’s too short for neutral throw pillows, and our Freely Scribbled pattern looks especially bold and eye-catching against the blue background. Throw pillows come in four sizes starting at 16″x16″ and are available in both indoor and outdoor styles. Grab a few for your sofa, or keep one as an accent on your bed.

You can never have enough tote bags, but this one just might become your new favorite.

Black & White Coffee Mug
If you’ve ever purchased a mug from Society6, then you know how good they are. Larger than average with a wide, easy-to-hold handle, they’re made for big cups of coffee (or tea!). The pattern gives any collection a nice jolt of personality—especially if you keep your mugs out on display.

Blue Duvet Cover
We didn’t just put the Freely Scribbled pattern on accessories—we’re also putting it on larger decor pieces, like duvet covers. Made of an ultra soft microfiber material, the duvet cover comes in five sizes and has a hidden zipper for easy removal. The blue color looks amazingly good on a bed, especially when paired with all-white sheets, and gives any bedroom serene vibes.

Terracotta Shower Curtain
Bathroom in need of an upgrade? Add some boho style with the terracotta shower curtain, which gives your space color without being too bold (a common issue for tiny bathrooms). The softer hue doesn’t block any light from getting into your shower and gives off a very cheerful vibe that’s definitely welcome when you’re getting ready in the morning.

Black & White Pillow Sham
If you don’t want to commit to a duvet cover, add some personality to your bedroom with the Freely Scribbled pattern on a set of shams. Fun and eclectic, the shams make for a lovely accent piece against plain, pattern-free sheets, especially if you love the all-white look.
