Sometimes your wall IS the art.
Size matters. The scale of a pattern and the space inbetween influences the drama.
Patterns can be repeated randomly and even overlapped to make a stunning accent wall.
Use variations of both size and color of your designs to reinforce your design theme.
Mix bold patterns with a sleek stripe to balance rooms with different sizes of walls.
Dramatic colors and bold designs will wake up neutral furnishings. Have no fear. It's only paint!
