Graphic Geometric Black and White ?
When we speak of 'graphic' or 'geometric' in interior design we automatically assume these designs to be black and white.
However when talking to people (= the buyers of your products) many find this combination too 'dominant' and even 'unlivable'.
Follow these simple tips to get the right look:
- Using a supporting colour increases the human comfort zone. For example the pink on picture 1 and the extra gold from picture 2.
- Balance the size of the pattern against the object or room size it will be used for. See pictures 2+3 and 4+7 for examples: the same pattern, different scale!
- Find the correct balance between the pattern colors themselves and the thickness of the lines. For example the helmet from picture 5 and the ceramics from picture 7.
- Divide the space that needs decorating in percentages. For example 50% plain colour, 30% accent colour and 20% patterned surface. As seen on picture 6: patterned carpets and cushions, grey-brown-charcoal accents from the painting and the sofa, all set against a plain coloured wall and ceiling.

A neverending story, the combination of blue and white. And it's so much more than 'beach style' !

A fascinating combination !
This Sequined Floral Cushion is a great example of:
> combining techniques:
printing and paillette embroidery
> combining colourpalettes:
divers bold colours with greyscale or ton-sur-ton effect in one design
> combining artistic styles:
vague watercolor flowers and detailed botanical prints
> the interacting combination of product versus surface design:
the playing with light and reflection is stimulated by the dimensions of the end product creating an overall added value

Contemporary Flower Pattern
What a great floral pattern design! The scale of the flowers, the colours and strong shapes.
This jacquard woven upholstery has an extra dimension using the teal chenille yarn to colour the flowers, set on a flat woven, dark brown charcoal background, brightend up using a vison for the leaves and outline. A perfect match!
From the collection of Barker and Stonehouse UK.
