MIX MASTER

Cara Fox’s tips on combining patterns like a pro

REPEAT COLOR

Unify a space by weaving a single hue through various materials, motifs and textures.

UTILIZE SCALE

Balance small intricate patterns with something bold and blocky. For Fox, a dainty floral print teamed with a chunky stripe makes the perfect pairing. 

BLEND ERAS

Combine age-old prints with contemporary designs to keep spaces fresh. 

PLAY WITH PATTERNS

Mix contrasting prints and patterns like bold stripes, delicate florals and quirky geometrics to create an engaging decor that keeps the eye moving.
