What comes to mind when you think about rooms that ooze personality? The ones that lift your spirits, instantly making you feel at home? How about a beautifully curated space with a bold mix of prints, clever use of colour, and plenty of intriguing decorative details and textures to delight the eye? This maximalist approach to decorating certainly creates a warm and embracing feel and is having a well-deserved moment in the limelight. A key element in creating this abundant style is pattern.
