Place your pattern to create a theme
Pattern can work as well in small living rooms as it does in large, but it pays to think carefully about where you put it.
Wool fabrics are made for cosy country-style firesides, but keep tartans, checks, paisleys and florals confined to throws and cushions on sofas and armchairs, leaving walls for plain paint finishes. Add a natural flooring rug to bring the two sides of a room together.
