Pattern is one of the most powerful
design elements. Take a look at these bedrooms that mix things
up with stripes, checks, plaids, and florals.
True Blue Classic
With a profusion of florals, stripes, and checks, this bedroom
may have seemed destined to decorating disaster. Instead, it
became a jewel, thanks to interior designer Susan Mooney.
Faced with a large, lackluster
space, Mooney added cozy character by filling the room with pattern
linked with the classic color combination of blue and white.
"Blue is an extremely soothing and restful color,"
she says. "It makes for a calm retreat."
Checks and Balances
When Carolyn Tinseth encountered a small bedroom in a Chicago-area
showhouse, she didn't let size stand in the way of giving the
space its personality. From every angle, checks, plaids, florals,
and toile imbue the room with French flavor.
