What adds bold prints more attractiveness over all other season?
We tend to require more vivaciousness and motifs in summer because of the long and bright days. It positively fuels our desire for adventure, not just outside, but indoors as well. When spirits are lifted, it is the time for implementing vibrant colors and active patterns even in the textures during the interiors and summer also gives us the heat.
All prints represent something and evoke something to all of us. Floral prints elicit recollections of garden strolls. Stripes on some clothes whisks us to breezy sea. But along with splendid creativity is the risk of fantastic mess. As this guide is meant to brag about, everything is in moderation.
How to Optimize Prints
Rule of Three
Three methods exist for attributing three different styles, seek three prints in one space.
- Dominant print (largest surface area): e.g curtains or a rug.
- Secondary print (midsized): e.g. pillows or side chair.
- Accent print (smallest scale): e,g, light decor such as artwork vases or cotoun napkins.
Balance Scale and Density
With prints, either large or small should be combined. Medium cuts with plain designs close to bold patterns should be omitted. This type of contrast sharpens conflict rather than conflict.
Limit the Color Palette
Sticks to prints with one or two shades, even when the features are totally disparate to each others. For neutral base we can consider beige, grey or white.
Nuance vs Contrast
Strong options come with merit: subtlety, or going bold. When it comes to energy, strong contrast makes for good addition, whereas nuance creates calmness. For kuvnrooms go with gentle transitions, and for patios high contrast pairings offer excitement.
Did you know? If the color scheme is tight, florals and stripes often make a perfect pair as long as one of them is more calm.
Coming Summer 2025: The Hottest Prints to Look Out For
With every new year comes new and sophisticated styles to keep up with. For 2025, these are the most anticipated print trends:
- From micro daises to even jungle leaves, botanical florals adorn it all.
- Retro Geometric: Paintings of the 70s with muted pastel colors.
- Pinstripes & Wide Stripes: Often paired with smooth natural textures, including jute and linen.

- Art Deco Redux: Beautiful arches sparkling in champagne, gold, or navy.
Prints Not Welcome in 2025
- Distinctly plastic or overly digital prints.
- Too many neon colors crowded in a single area.
- Pillars of patterns dumped together without a uniting theme.
How to Complement Each Room Using Different Prints
Living Room: Odd and Boring Combined
The Living Room serves as a focal point for the family to convene together and relax. Get bold and use an area rug with chic bold graphics. Then you can add cushions with similar color schemes alongside patterned ones, differing greatly from the cushions.
Bedroom: Simple Soft and Effective
Carry two or three subtle prints. Pair the Tablescape with a floral embroidered bedspread, striped pillowcases and curtains. Choose low contrasting shades such as blush, sage, sand, etc.
Kitchen and Dining: Quirky Yet Captivating
Dress your dining room table with fabrics that have quirky fruit or geometric patterns for placemats or table runners. If the chairs are in a neutral tone, feel free to be more adventurous and bold with the print designs on the table. Keep the walls and the storage units relatively plain and free from excessive decoration.
Tip Table: What to Mix and Where
| Room | Main Print Type | Subsidiary Print | Print Type Accent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living Room | Rug or Sofa | Pillows or Curtains | Lampshade or Art |
| Bedroom | Bedspread or Wallpaper | Throw Pillows | Small Decor |
| Kitchen | Table Linens | Chair Cushions | Dishware or Towels |
Common Mistakes When Mixing Prints
- Overcrowding a Small Room: Stuffing a small area with bold prints makes the space look smaller.
- Ignoring Negative Space: Every print requires space or it will suffer.
- Uniform Scale: Repeating the same sized prints creates disarray within the space.
- Forgetting Neutrals: Areas devoid of pattern are just as important as they accentuate.
- Missing a Unifying Element: A design with no linking motif is aimless.
Safe Starting Points for Beginners
- Start with two patterns, we recommend against three.
- Anything in black and white serves well as foundational prints.
- Stick to one color family and enjoy accommodating the shapes instead.
- Strippable wallpapers or covers worked great as a “try before you buy” method.
