Are you looking to bring energy, interest, and contrast into your kitchen? Color is often our go-to solution, but what about pattern? Need convincing?

1. Pattern adds drama

Patterns are a surefire way to bring drama into your space. Where there is no drama, no contrast, no movement, a space runs the risk of being boring and forgettable.

When it comes to kitchens, the area behind the stove is the best place to introduce something full of movement and drama.

2. Pattern gives dimension and direction

The thing I love most about pattern is that it creates depth in a room by drawing your eye. A pattern (whether it be a print on the wall or the layout of tiles on the floor or wall) has the ability to take a plain, two-dimensional surface and give it almost a three-dimensional presence.

Pattern doesn’t have to be complex. The size and scale of this handcrafted backsplash add a ton of depth and natural variation.

3. Pattern brings energy

4. Pattern brings it all together

Pattern can be the tool that takes a kitchen from a space with a lot of nice pieces to a cohesive interior scheme.

This Versailles pattern injects a shot of personality and energy into this space, while pulling all of the elements of this kitchen together.

While many of us find using pattern a little intimidating, it shouldn’t be overlooked. Pattern is a wonderful way to personalize your space and can really lift a room from ordinary to spectacular!
