What are smart ways to incorporate pattern play in 2025 interiors?

Smart pattern play involves confident but thoughtful mixes, like wallpaper on ceilings or patterned rugs paired with solid jewel toned upholstery. Using antiques and collected pieces with varying motifs creates layers of interest. Balance busy patterns with calm foundation colors to keep rooms harmonious. Less is more: focus patterns in accents like pillows, curtains, or lampshades to add personality without clutter.
