i am a lover of pattern and texture. this is not to say that im not a lover of color as well however i love mixing textures. the image above is a glimpse into my bedroom where i have mixed brocade pillows, printed bedding and french landscape wallpaper and i think they all go beautifully together. since the space was done mostly in black and white adding some "pretty in pink" and "summer fresh green" was a nice way for me to soften up the harshness of a monochromatic palate. i love to mix wood, glass, prints, photography, vintage and new however i think it is easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to work modern elements with antiques and color with neutrals. my advice is to start small and not to rush into completing a space on a time schedule but instead collect the perfect pieces as you find them. flea markets, vintage stores, small boutiques... all great hiding places for those old glass vases and gold picture frames that can work as points of interest in a room. your homework this weekend: hit up a flea market!
