How Color and Patterns Will Shift the Entire Feel of Your Interiors
Color and patterns can impact your mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. All colors influence mood in one way or another, while shade, pattern size, shape, and repeat can transform how a space looks and feels. For example, organic shapes are naturally more soothing, while stripes lead the eye and can change the appearance of the size of a room.
Whatever you select, color and pattern preferences are very personal. Surrounding yourself with what speaks to you is an easy way to brighten your day and lift your spirits, creating a home with positive energy. Here are 3 ways color and pattern can elevate the atmosphere of your home…
1. Colors Bring Emotion, Passion & Energy
You should be mindful of the psychology behind color when selecting the perfect shade for your space. Typically, bright colors are happy, warm, and encourage open communication. As a result, these colors are great to use in your kitchen and dining area.
Darker colors influence moodiness but can also enhance the feeling of comfort and security. These colors are generally accents, but 2023 is all about full-room dark color choices. Warm colors are typically used for warmth and relaxation, while cool colors are calming and promote productivity.
Interestingly, grays and reds are usually suggested for moderate use, as gray can convey feelings of anxiety or loss of appetite, and red can translate into aggression.
2. Patterns Add Points of Interest & Personality
Amazingly, patterns can influence the look and feel of activity in a room. It can be used as wallpaper, flooring, tile, ceiling patterns, upholstery, art, and bedding to add interest to a space. It can also help to create a natural flow, creating color harmony when used appropriately.

3. Blend Styles Seamlessly to Bring Balance to Your Space
Blending styles with color and pattern can bring balance to your space. The colors you choose should pair well with the pattern you incorporate, making statement and mood pair well together. Generally, larger patterns make a space more relaxed, while smaller designs make that space feel busy. Your goal should always be to select a combination that makes your home feel at peace.
My role is to help clients select the perfect mix of colors and patterns to create a color scheme. The color scheme helps create overall balance while making impactful moments with accents of pops of color and patterns. Patterns and colors can be so much fun to mix and match, but the dance is delicate to avoid visual overwhelm.
