Decorating with prints and patterns is a great way to bring color and style to any room. But with the vast number of choices in prints out there, it can be a daunting task to figure out how to mix them in an artistic and cohesive way without being overpowering.

Here are some of my tips on mixing prints in your home:

1. Pick a color theme and find prints within that color family.

5.  Don’t go crazy with too many patterns – limit yourself to two maybe three patterns in a room.

6.  Look for other opportunities to inject pattern in your decor like lampshades or chairs.
