Neutral Decor Favorites: Mixing Patterns with Scallops & Stripes

Mixing patterns with stripes, scallops, and textured neutral home decor!

Stripes and scallops are classic and versatile design elements. Mixing the two is an effortless way to simultaneously incorporate masculine and feminine styles while adding interest and texture.

From a kitchen backsplash to dinner plates and planters. Adding depth, dimension, texture, and interest is easy when incorporating stripes and scallops into your home decorating.

WAYS TO INCORPORATE SCALLOPED DETAIL INTO HOME DECOR

Are you feeling bold? Consider adding scalloped wallpaper or painting a fun scalloped border on your walls. If you're looking for more of a subtle way to incorporate scallops into your home decor, pillows, curtains, frames, baskets, lamps, planters, and rugs are excellent options.

HOW TO MIX PATTERNS AND TEXTURES

Mixing patterns and textures works best when you vary the sizes, stick to one color scheme, and give patterns room to breathe. Choose one lead or large-scale pattern as your focal point (area rug, sofa, drapes) then add small-scale contrasting patterns (throw pillows, art, planters). Don't forget to incorporate solid colors to allow your patterns to breathe and shine!
