Do Choose a Color Palette

Start by defining a cohesive color palette. Selecting two to four main colors allows you to explore various patterns while ensuring everything ties together. For instance, if you have a blue and white theme, consider floral prints in those shades along with geometric designs to create visual interest without overwhelming the space.

Do Vary Scale and Texture

Mixing patterns of different scales and textures can enhance depth. Pair large, bold prints with smaller, subtle designs for contrast. If you have a large striped shower curtain, it can be beautifully complemented by small polka dot towels. Incorporating various textures, like soft towels and sleek ceramics, further enriches the design and can be complemented by teak bathroom furniture.

Don’t Overcrowd the Space

While mixing patterns is fun, overcrowding can quickly derail your decor. Limit your bold prints to two or three surfaces. Reserve the more intricate patterns for smaller elements, allowing your eye to rest. Aim for a balanced look — too many competing patterns can create chaos rather than flow.

Don’t Ignore the Basics

Foundation pieces, like tiles and paint, should remain neutral or subtle to allow your patterns to shine. Our AquaTeak team recommends a simple white or beige base because it can provide an excellent backdrop for your design choices. This minimizes visual clutter and creates a serene atmosphere.
