Have you ever wondered how interior designers take a room from typical to curated-looking? A lot of it has to do with creating contrast in the home. Here are a few tips for pattern mixing. A skill that requires time to perfect.

The gray-yellow is carried over from pillow to pillow and rests in other furnishings in the room. Having just the right amount of the dominant color is essential in a room. All of this hinges on other pieces in the room, such as placement, purpose, flow, accessories, texture, lighting, time of use, etc.
