Pink has never been one of my favourite hues. But when I discovered this combination of white, black, grey and dusty pink together... this is stunning!

Trend - Combining patterns
Patterns are an absolute 'must have' in modern interiors.
Combining different patterns within a certain space can be a challenge. The visual effect can either be amazing or overwhelming. It is good to take into consideration both pattern and colour while designing a room. Here are some simple tips:
Start with one piece of furniture (e.g armchair) or an object in the room (e.g. carpet, curtain) with a strong pattern and complement it with an accessory (e.g. cushion, tablecloth) in a more delicate pattern.
Different shades of the same colour can make a beautiful composition, as well as mixing together complimentary colours.
It is important to leave some space in white or in a neutral colour. That brings a sense of calmness among the patterns and creates a balance, allowing our eyes to rest.
