Mix-and-match patterns take centre stage in everything from fabric to tile.

Front and Centre

Pattern makes a move from accents to focal points in fabric, tile and wallpaper. (And don’t be afraid to mix and match!) “People seem to have a larger appetite for pattern in general,” says Reena Sotropa, and are using hits of heavy pattern in the same way they had previously considered the once ubiquitous “feature wall.”

Natural stone plays with funky patterned drapes in a kindred colourway for a Sotropa–designed bedroom look that’s anything but boring.
