Living with Pattern
Living with Pattern: Color, Texture, and Print at Home | Rebecca Atwood
2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
A design book filled with beautiful photography and clear ideas for how to use pattern to decorate your home. If you focus on pattern, from texture and color to furniture and textiles, everything else will fall into place. Pattern is the strongest element in any room. In Living with Pattern, Rebecca Atwood demystifies how to use that element, a design concept that often confounds and confuses, demonstrating how to seamlessly mix and layer prints throughout a house. She covers pattern usage you probably already have, such as on your duvet cover or in the living room rug, and she also reveals the unexpected places you might not have thought to add it: bathroom tiles, an arrangement of book spines in a reading nook, or windowpane gridding in your entryway. This stunning book showcases distinct uses of pattern in homes all over the country to inspire you to realize that an injection of pattern can enliven any space, helping to make it uniquely yours. From the Hardcover edition.

I read Living With Color by this author a couple years ago and absolutely LOVED it! Like, it changed the way I look at color and my house and interior design in general. Sadly, though, her earlier book, Living With Pattern, just strike the same chord for me. There is some good and interesting information here, but nothing that made me grab my husband and start sharing stuff with him, which is always how I judge how interesting my nonfiction ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) reads are 😂 In some ways, I just think Pattern is harder to connect with than Color anyway - Pattern encompasses so many different things (i.e. texture, furniture placement, structure, color, fabric, etc etc) that it's harder to really grasp and use (for me). Like I said, a perfectly interesting read, but it didn't hit me like Living With Color did.

However, another gorgeous book - I can't resist sprayed edges!!!

Cool book, though the projects are a bit too involved for my lack of crafting talent! 😁
