Pattern Or Plain

It’s a trend we have seen time and time again, Pattern.

It’s not that it ever goes out fashion, actually the opposite. It recreates itself every year, evolving into something new, bold and fresh.

Whilst the likes of Kelly Wearstler, Dimore Studio and David Hicks make this look so chic and achievable, in reality, it is something that must be carefully considered. As a result, you should plan it prior to installation.

Don’t fear though, here are a few guidelines to follow:

Pattern Or Plain

Using a patterned floor with a solid colour wall tile or vice versa is much softer take on this trend. It’s a paired down version which lends itself to using organic, softer patterns like the Ann Sacks Scribe Mosaics or Whimsy Tiles.

The patterned tile is the key design aspect here and should be paired with a complementary solid colour finish. Using a beautiful pattern on the wall such as Ann Sacks Craze plus a complementary plain tile on the floor is a good example. It is crucial that the solid colour is an accent colour from the feature pattern. This ensures a thoughtful and considered design aesthetic overall.

The key is to embrace the pattern, enjoy it and use what you love.

If you’re still in doubt, book an appointment with the Ann Sacks Showroom where we would be happy to plan that perfect statement bathroom.

Before you start:

• Start small: If you are hesitant to go all-in with pattern, start by incorporating it in small ways. Consider adding a patterned shower curtain, bath mat, or towels. These items can easily be swapped out if you tire of the pattern or want to update the look.
• Choose a colour palette: When incorporating pattern, it’s important to consider the overall colour scheme of your bathroom. Choose a pattern that complements the existing colours and textures in the space. A monochromatic colour scheme with varying patterns can create a cohesive and stylish look.
• Mix and match: Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. However, be sure to choose patterns that have a common thread, such as a similar colour or style. This will create a cohesive and intentional look.
• Balance the space: When incorporating pattern in a bathroom, it’s important to balance the space. For example, if you have patterned wallpaper, balance it with plain towels and a simple shower curtain. Too much pattern can overwhelm a space and make it feel chaotic.
• Consider scale: When choosing patterns, consider the scale of the design. A small pattern may get lost in a large space, while a large pattern may overpower a small space.
• Think beyond the walls: Pattern can be incorporated in many ways beyond just the walls. Consider patterned tile, a patterned rug, or even a patterned vanity or sink.
