How to Mix Patterns

from Dear Alice | Interior Design · host Alice Lane

Mixing patterns can completely transform a room, but creating a layered look takes more than simply combining different prints. In this episode of the Dear Alice Interior Design Podcast, we're sharing our approach to mixing patterns, from paying attention to the architectural rhythms already happening in a space to choosing large-scale elements like rugs, wallpaper, art, and tapestries. We break down how to mix large, medium, and small patterns, combine organic and geometric designs, use field colors to create contrast, and incorporate solids and texture for balance. Whether you're decorating with patterned fabrics, layering wallpaper and rugs, or simply looking for more personality in your home, this episode is full of practical interior design tips for creating a pattern story that feels intentional rather than cluttered.
